The term ‘Platforms,’ most commonly used in manufacturing, refers to a process whereby sets of components or assemblies can be put together in a multitude of different ways to create a multitude of different products..In the context of the built environment, the most basic goal of Platform construction (P-DfMA) is to drive value within the sector - to apply the lessons of manufacturing to construction, and do what we do better, more efficiently and more productively.However, the concurrent benefits of adopting a Platform approach are much more wide-reaching; the transformation of a construction industry in crisis and the creation of a safer, healthier and more sustainable way of building for both ourselves and our planet.. Building our future with sustainable infrastructure.
Platform Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA) offers a unique opportunity to refocus an industry beset by problems: low productivity, poor value, an aging workforce and not enough new workers.Operating in this current state, the construction industry simply can’t meet the needs of the future.
Our global population is increasing rapidly – it’s estimated to reach 11.5 billion by 2050.
So there’s an unavoidable need to create high-quality and sustainable infrastructure for vast numbers of people, including housing, education, healthcare and transport.There’s a lot of enthusiasm around sustainability in design, but we need it to manifest.
The next generation are incredibly aware of the climate emergency and these types of issues, but we can’t wait for them.If we wait any longer, we’ll miss the boat.
The building blocks are in place and the time has come to make the change.It’s up to us to build our sustainable future.. To learn more about our Design to Value approach to design and construction, sign up for our monthly newsletter here:.
