We have to be stretched to prove something will work, which obviously makes it more challenging.
How we can use multiple, smaller suppliers; procurement; different contracting methodologies, all need to be explored.. 4.Only industry-wide collaboration can change the sector.. Cross-industry associations and groups (like the UK’s.
Construction Innovation Hub. )are necessary to drive sector-wide change.Multi-stakeholder reports and materials on the practical application of MMC with collaboration from builders, engineers, designers, suppliers, and integrators, will enable everyone to be heard and shape the change.. 5.
We need to get rid of offsite stigma..The construction industry has been stuck in a time warp of lowest price, maximum risk transfer.
A platforms approach to construction has a profound impact on productivity, cost, carbon, skills, safety, and the potential for digital workflows to automate key pieces of the design process.
Once the benefits are clear to both the public and private sectors, collaboration can make this a reality.. To learn more about our Design to Value approach to design and construction, sign up for our monthly newsletter here:.This is not the dreaded “change” or “scope creep”, it is about how the proposed project scope will naturally mould and how it can be integrated with how it will be delivered both in its physical, digital, and operational forms.
This integration itself will not leave the scope unchanged, the scope and concept will require adaption..The question is how we use this emergence to the advantage of the project and the recipients of its value.
The selected approach to Basic/Scheme Design and Detailed Design will impact the project’s ability to deliver the project intent and optimise value.This includes the way the work is planned and the way organisations are contracted and integrated..
