could be sequenced traditionally and could be tracked.
As spacecraft are created offsite and have similar ventilation issues to operating theatres, there were learnings to be made from the way material procurement is handled in the space industry.The project has since influenced further work with London’s Moorfields hospital.. Construction nomenclature and standards: from Modern Methods of Construction to BIM and Platform Design, it’s all in the name..
Professor Glass points out that as the construction industry has begun to progress forward in recent years, new terms like Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and platform construction (P-DfMA) have burgeoned into existence.With so many industry stakeholders, it’s inevitable that we’ll face a certain amount of confusion and miscommunication as we await consensus on exact definitions.In fact, academics might spend an entire career trying to define a term, as these definitions facilitate clarification and understanding, enabling work to be positioned accordingly.
However, it’s important that we agree to draw a line under the process at some point, asserting that a consensus on meaning has been reached..Equally, we must recognise just how crucial construction standards are, particularly as the industry modernises and transforms.
UK construction companies have been slow to enable staff to be part of committees where standards are created.
This is a missed opportunity, as all parties should be working together to advance the whole industry in this regard.It opens up our imaginations.. Digital Construction App Broadens User Understanding and Drives Value.
Rather than creating PDF documentation about MMC processes and their benefits for housing design, we wanted PRiSM to aid understanding of core MMC techniques more directly.The app exposes spatial planning rules and MMC design rules to the users, which leads to greater understanding and ultimately accelerates PMH design.
By eliminating the need for the type of specialist knowledge which typically surrounds MMC, the app fosters accessibility for a broad range of users with an interest in residential architecture.It brings transparency to manufacturing-based construction methodologies and makes the entire process of housing design more efficient and predictable.
