All of these factors combine to deliver cost and material savings, while using fewer people and increasing productivity.
Fortunately, we have them..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:.
http://bit.ly/BWNewsUpdatesLean construction for a smarter, more sustainable future.The term ‘Platforms,’ most commonly used in manufacturing, refers to a process whereby sets of components or assemblies can be put together in a multitude of different ways to create a multitude of different products..In the context of the built environment, the most basic goal of Platform construction (P-DfMA) is to drive value within the sector - to apply the lessons of manufacturing to construction, and do what we do better, more efficiently and more productively.
However, the concurrent benefits of adopting a Platform approach are much more wide-reaching; the transformation of a construction industry in crisis and the creation of a safer, healthier and more sustainable way of building for both ourselves and our planet.. Building our future with sustainable infrastructure.Platform Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA) offers a unique opportunity to refocus an industry beset by problems: low productivity, poor value, an aging workforce and not enough new workers.
Operating in this current state, the construction industry simply can’t meet the needs of the future.
Our global population is increasing rapidly – it’s estimated to reach 11.5 billion by 2050.It’s yet another benefit of a Platform construction approach, which helps us to achieve greater sustainability in design..
Addressing the climate emergency in construction.Currently contributing 39% of global carbon emissions, there can be no doubt that the construction industry has a serious and urgent role to play in addressing the climate crisis.
The starting point is industry collaboration — a united focus on raising the industry’s understanding, knowledge and skills in relation to sustainable building.We need to be investing in colleges and universities, educating our young people and making sure they get the right training from the outset.
