Reduction of the time and human resources spent in the delivery of the project.
Companies that do this well will increase their value, but changes will be necessary.For a start, technology spending will double.. We’ll also need to have a complete understanding of how the traditional and industrialised aspects of a building will interact with each other, she says.. “You're talking about interstitial spaces, adjacencies, attachments, components.
You need to know it for everything,” Marks says..Looking toward the future: sustainability in construction.Still, the reality is that the construction industry has been in a state of poor productivity and other difficulties for decades, so why is it that we finally appear to be standing on the cusp of an industrialised construction transformation?.
We’re ready now, Marks says, and we don’t really have a choice.. “Technology has changed, the environment has changed, the workforce has changed, the designs are more complex.There’s a lot of things closing in on the space that's creating a lot of dissatisfaction, and the people who have the money are the most dissatisfied - the big end-users, the big governments…”.
Around the world, she says, business restarts want three things: digitisation, industrialised construction, and sustainability (mostly in the form of understanding carbon).
Ultimately, these things are all related to the issue of productisation in construction.. Construction waste makes up 40% of our landfills, Marks says, adding that this happens because we’re changing things and cutting them after the fact.. A switch to industrialised construction, with an industry deploying manufacturing processes, would be highly beneficial to the issue of sustainability in construction.. Marks also invites us to consider the ancillary benefits of creating a factory: a workforce composed of diverse ages and populations, economic sustainability for that factory around the world, social sustainability, industry sustainability (because the construction workforce is an aging population) and, of course, environmental sustainability.. She highlights the level of current dissatisfaction and the focus on our planet - our dwindling supply of resources: people, things, and materials.. “We can’t all live on this planet unless we get better at this,” Marks says.Design to Value.Jaimie talked about the transformative advancements in data centre design and delivery, emphasising how innovative design principles and industrialised construction are setting a new standard across industries.
