We must allow the manufacture and assembly process to drive the way we design the asset in the first place, as well as the way we engage the client and the supply chain..
Such a scenario would stipulate certain quality and ethical thresholds for supplier participation.It could be similar to an Amazon model, but with products, sub-assemblies and systems supporting and providing value-driven data.
The data would reflect jobs supported, social value delivered, net-zero carbon emissions facilitated, safety promoted, as well as compliance with regulations and standards..Staying focused: collaboration, disruption & diversification.The benefits of transforming construction will be enormous, but it won’t happen overnight.
However, as long as we have a clear and compelling vision, and are all aiming for the same end goal, companies will be able to plot their own path to reach it.The journey will be important and it must be handled properly.
Industry must have the capability and capacity to deliver new solutions.
We need everyone to contribute and collaborate:clients, policymakers, the market.They don’t want to design from scratch each time.
Standardisation makes future maintenance easier.Where clients want the variability and flexibility is in the massing of the building, the articulation of the material choice and facade design.. We worked very hard with clients in the early stages to make sure that the construction Platforms we developed have enough variability in the areas which will facilitate maximum benefit.
We want to have a Design to Value process which achieves exactly what is desired..Tier 1 and the supply chain.
