Ultimately, Johnston explains, this facilitated an ‘overall optimum outcome,’ which he describes as being a combination of fantastic patient experience, minimised costs, optimised use of DfMA and more.
The problem with DfMA, “is that you have to not only understand the element that you're figuring out the rules for, but then you need to know the proprietary rules for that element.And you multiply those exponentially.
It's too many.”.Creating an opportunity: prefabrication and productisation in construction.The problem we’re currently facing, Marks says, is that “we're only talking about the baby steps of prefabrication, or really fabrication, at this point.
We're not enabling productisation.There's a difference.
And I think we have to quickly almost leapfrog over fabrication to productisation.”.
Marks says that productisation will free architects, empowering them to be “the true architects of the parameters, of the combination, of those elements.”.with digital technology for both public and private sector clients alike, (particularly within the residential and education sectors.)Bernat joined Bryden Wood in January 2018..
