As we stare down the barrel of a rapidly growing, global population and its associated infrastructure needs, alongside an aging construction workforce and a life-altering climate crisis, our current state of low productivity, non-transferable learnings, and high waste is no longer acceptable.. It’s these types of issues, and the associated risk, industrialised construction products and processes help to resolve.. Making the change with Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA).The issue of productisation forms a key concept within the industry’s broader shift toward industrialised (or manufactured) construction.However, implementing.
modular and prefabricated building components along with a.Design for Manufacture and Assembly processes doesn’t mean we’ll end up with low-quality buildings that all look the same.
In actuality, adopting this new way of working holds the key to tremendously positive and wide-reaching benefits for both people and the planet.. By adopting industrialised construction, we’ll produce.
an increased quantity of high-quality, more sustainable buildings, which improve construction project safety and are also easier to build..Construction Industry Transformation Map.
which was launched in 2017 to accelerate the uptake of digitalisation and more productive modern methods of construction.Regulatory authorities in Singapore have made efforts to support the growth of PPVC as a preferred DfMA approach.
BCA now mandates the use of PPVC on many types of residential Government Land Sale (GLS) projects and has established an acceptance framework backed up by the PPVC Manufacturer Accreditation Scheme.. BCA have promoted potential benefits of PPVC including improved productivity (up to 40% manpower and time savings), less dust and noise pollution, improved site safety and improved quality control in a factory environment..There are now several recognised PPVC project success stories in Singapore, including the.
