Often it happens that opportunities have been with us all along, we were just too nervous to take them.

We believe that going forward this role will put more effort into controlling logistics, supply chain etc… In fact, roles throughout the supply chain will change, becoming more efficient and more focused on driving value.. Meeting the needs of our clients.Over the years, we’ve come to recognise a wide variety of client drivers, including cost, time, net present value, capital and funding decisions.

For some clients, accuracy in delivery is the most important thing.For others, such as the UK’s busiest airport, Heathrow, the biggest benefit arises from having the fewest number of people on site and the fastest possible delivery.What this means is that ultimately there are many different forms of P-DfMA which are appropriate.. With Platform construction (P-DfMA), we’ve attempted to take everything we’ve learned in our client work and embed it in a set of components that clients and the industry more generally can benefit from.

We’re focusing on the least amount of material, the lowest carbon materials, the highest levels of productivity.These are the driving principles of P-DfMA and industrialised construction more generally..

Automation in construction.

In terms of maximising value, we must also address the reality that at present, the majority of an architect or designer’s time is spent documenting ideas, whereas in actuality, it is the creation of the idea in the first place which is the most value-adding element.This hasn’t changed despite many years of operating in this way.

However, it’s a risk that is, to some extent, understood.That said, construction Platform design does help to change that risk profile dramatically and to reduce the amount of risk on a construction project..

If we take another look at what the UK government is doing through the Construction Innovation Hub, we can see that they are looking to aggregate construction demand across different departments.By harmonising the standards and requirements, and developing standardised components, they are creating a huge, central body of knowledge.
