This in turn means we’re able to automate the design process (to a certain level), or certainly automate the production of the BIM model.. Standardising components and digitising workflows enables architects and designers to spend more time generating ideas and better designs, more time performing simulation and testing.
Our approach creates an entirely new way of working, one which sets out to achieve the best possible outcomes right from the start.This makes sure that the goals of quality, efficiency, suitability, productivity and sustainability inform every stage of the process.. By adopting a way of working that includes P-DfMA and a standard component design programme, we can achieve repeatable and consistent quality, and also facilitate operational and delivery excellence across projects.
This goal has been identified as a focus for the future of UK construction by The Construction Innovation Hub, and the application of a Platform approach is discussed within the.Construction Playbook.Our DfMA journey.
We began to use the term ‘Platforms’ (P-DfMA) while working with the UK Government Ministry of Justice (MOJ), the Infrastructure Projects Authority (IPA) and the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC).It was the MTC that first introduced us to the concept of Platforms.
The MOJ wanted to design a new type of prison focused on rehabilitation.
We realised that the manufacturing component of the construction process could be taught to serving prisoners, helping to train them in marketable skills for use on release, and aiding rehabilitation.http://bit.ly/BWNewsUpdatesOne of the key policies in the Government’s.
