The contractor’s role becomes more profitable and sophisticated – what we refer to as a manufacturing assembly manager.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.And with more thought to whole life performance, low carbon, sustainable buildings can keep delivering benefits even after their lifetimes.
Truly a win-win scenario..If you'd like to continue to learn about our Design to Value approach and Modern Methods of Construction, sign up for our monthly newsletter here:.
