We’re seeing a need to kickstart things as a result of COVID, but there’s also been a reset of some of the policy, and time to create policy, which is now coming to fruition..

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.

Another benefit we see from DfMA construction is the evolution of a more direct relationship between the customer and their supply chain partners, cutting down on transactional costs and eliminating a lot of inefficiency.The contractor’s role becomes more profitable and sophisticated – what we refer to as a manufacturing assembly manager.

We believe that going forward this role will put more effort into controlling logistics, supply chain etc… In fact, roles throughout the supply chain will change, becoming more efficient and more focused on driving value.. Meeting the needs of our clients.

Over the years, we’ve come to recognise a wide variety of client drivers, including cost, time, net present value, capital and funding decisions.Eventually, we believe these design apps will start to link up and talk to each other, forming a linked digital ecosystem.

As such, this kind of broad, architectural master planning will not be done subjectively, by people, but rather will occur as a result of millions of iterations of potential placements.These placements will be optimised to create the best possible solutions for all of our major functions: education, commercial spaces, residential, and industry.

This type of optimisation will happen simultaneously and in conjunction with the same process being applied to the supporting infrastructure; road, rail, hyperloops, power and water, and other transport and utilities..Platform Design for better individual assets.
