as a permanent shutter for concrete.
Our approach is proven to work.There is nothing stopping us from doing this other than inertia and reluctance among some parties to change from traditional methods of design and construction.
But as recent events have shown, traditional is not good enough.. We need new approaches, and smart solutions.Fortunately, we have them..If you'd like to continue to learn about our Design to Value approach and Modern Methods of Construction, sign up for our monthly newsletter here:.
http://bit.ly/BWNewsUpdatesLean construction for a smarter, more sustainable future.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.However, some have been released by LETI, RIBA and others, and there is an effort within the industry to get them aligned.
What we need now is for organisations, clients and engineers to do the calculations to find out what the embodied carbon is within their building designs — both at the design stage and post completion.We need to be monitoring what is actually going into buildings, compared to what we think should be going in.
This means that contractors need to get on board as well.Ultimately, we’ll have to collate the data together as an industry, but benchmarks will help us learn, and guide us at the design stage..
