M: I would probably say it's incredibly important to have a plan on how you will be presenting your work.
We need to ask important questions about how to make it more inclusive and representative of the society it serves.. To begin, it’s essential to recognise that we can’t achieve our goals working in isolation.Problems like carbon emissions, poor build quality, labour shortages and the housing crisis - they can all be improved if we collectively refocus our energies and unify our processes.
The creation of the Construction Innovation Hub is a response to this need.The Hub aims to overcome the industry’s current fragmentation and adopt a new, data-driven, industrialised construction approach.The goal is to harmonise, digitalise and rationalise demand across industry projects and programmes.
By creating standardised products and components, driven by Design for Value principles and Platform construction methodologies, we can harness the benefits of manufacturing and DfMA for the good of the industry and wider society..The role of the Transforming Construction Challenge.
The Construction Innovation Hub is funded through UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and the Construction Sector Deal as part of the Transforming Construction Challenge.
The Challenge aims to speed up the changes paramount to our future success, embracing manufacturing techniques, both in the supply chain and on-site, as well as expanding the use of digital technologies to foster project efficiency, design, feedback and assurance..It must be as efficient as possible, and house some of the most advanced technology in the world, and yet feel human and welcoming.
And whatever else it is today, we know that it may need to be something very different – although we don’t know what – in just a few months’ time..The opportunity within healthcare design and build is to address all of these competing value drivers successfully.
This is the essence of our core approach – design to value.. Our overarching aim is to deliver a beautiful building which achieves excellence in clinical outcomes, patient safety and user experience, savings in cost and carbon, precision in budget and timescales, and flexibility to allow for future developments, planned and not.. A holistic approach to healthcare.Every project starts with a brief, of course.
