Innovation doesn’t respect discipline or sector boundaries.It needs to sit across the entire operation.
We are interested in increasing quality, productivity, timeliness and cost effectiveness.So we have to ask certain key questions from the outset, like: what’s the least amount of material that could possibly be used to build an asset?What’s the smallest number of times that asset could be touched or processed by people?
How productive can those people be?.Our goal with P-DfMA is lean construction.
We want to remove anything which doesn’t add value.
To achieve the best possible results, we must change the way we think, the way we manage materials and people.We want to create a better future for our built environment, one that benefits both people and the planet.
However, to do this we’ll need to transform not only our approach, embracing new, MMC methodologies such as Design for Value and Platform construction, but also the way we work together across the public and private sector.Collaboration will be key to success, as we begin our journey reshaping construction into an industry fit for the future..
