In other words, the Construction Innovation Hub asks, how can we get more from UK construction, and how can we do it in a way which supports the industry to prosper and grow?.
It could be similar to an Amazon model, but with products, sub-assemblies and systems supporting and providing value-driven data.The data would reflect jobs supported, social value delivered, net-zero carbon emissions facilitated, safety promoted, as well as compliance with regulations and standards..
Staying focused: collaboration, disruption & diversification.The benefits of transforming construction will be enormous, but it won’t happen overnight.However, as long as we have a clear and compelling vision, and are all aiming for the same end goal, companies will be able to plot their own path to reach it.
The journey will be important and it must be handled properly.Industry must have the capability and capacity to deliver new solutions.
We need everyone to contribute and collaborate:clients, policymakers, the market.
Of course, this process will be disruptive because industry transformation always is.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.
