This digitisation or automation of all aspects of the design and the data attached to it, allows an automated checking process that isn’t subject to human error, so teams can be confident that the testing and certification is rigorous and holistic..
Success will come from approaching it like a journey and doing things collaboratively..There are new ideas and technologies to embrace, new people to hire with different skill sets.
These things are risks to an industry worried about profit margins, business and retaining current clients.As such, we see that it’s simultaneously an easy thing to do, and a very difficult one.Toyota, who are fantastic at lean manufacturing, welcome competitors to look at their processes.
They realise that it's not just about understanding the how, because what Toyota are doing requires a different mindset, a different set of ambitions.Without those things, understanding the process won’t help..
The bottom line with respect to our current situation is that the world isn’t going to become any less uncertain, any time soon.
The pandemic has highlighted our ability to make large, successful shifts, and to do so very quickly.Under the MHCLG categorisation, volumetric modular construction (known in Singapore as Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction or PPVC and in Hong Kong as Modular Integrated Construction or MiC) is an example of a 3D primary structural system..
In addition to volumetric solutions, many other different MMC methods including flat-pack and componentised systems are primarily prefabricated and are often grouped under the umbrella term “Offsite”..The future of construction: not just components.
The MHCLG categorisation of MMC is comprehensive and includes the application of digital tools to drive productivity improvements both on site and in factories.The use of digital tools is an important part of DfMA which relies on capturing knowledge about how a building will be delivered from the earliest stages..
