We can’t expect to get into digital twins and smart assets, if we aren’t making the most of the data we already have access to.. Further exploration into the future of construction.

What’s more, the idea of pre-prototyping components before we get to site should mean there is very little left to learn.Ultimately, this creates far fewer opportunities for snags and delays.. Reducing risk in construction and attracting investors.

Changing the risk profile of construction should unlock investment into the industry.As things stand, we know from talking to funders that construction is seen as the riskiest investment option by far.Conversely, we know there’s a great deal of interest in financing clean technology, so there’s a lot of money going into an associated industry.

Construction Platform design offers a huge opportunity, because if we could demonstrate a consistent ability to deliver things to price and budget, investors would view construction differently.As a result, this could see investors flooding towards construction, as they would get a healthy return on their investment.

There’s also the potential for the creation of a virtuous circle, whereby investment boosts spending on construction, which creates jobs and skills.

This would have a bigger, beneficial impact on society.. An increase in investment should also free up more money for research and development.Reduced programme:.

The design of each assembly and junction can be pre-tested and individually certified to Passivhaus standards before being included within any design.This approach facilitates the pre-certification of components, panelised systems, building systems for thermal/hygrothermal/airtightness performance, reducing design time and programme..

The repetition of detailing between projects means that a design library of pre-certified components is retained for future projects, making the design process more efficient and quicker..Achieving Passivhaus performance can require an iterative design process to ensure performance during the final stage of construction inspection and testing is achieved.
