Digital twins and federated digital twins will enable us to understand how things are actively performing..
The good news is that all of the enablers needed to take the industry forward are already in place.The construction Platform movement is gaining momentum and we hope it could be our current reality within five to ten years.
It’s entirely achievable, so long as the industry decides that the time has come to take action, and that this is the direction we want to move.If it’s not, then why not?.To listen to Jaimie Johnston talking about the future of Platform Construction and DfMA in more detail, listen to Episode 2 of our Built Environment Matters podcast.
Or, you can download and read our e-book on Platforms.Earlier this year, the government announced that they would spend £2.7 billion on building hospitals.That’s a large amount of money, and very welcome.
But we could make the money spent on hospital design and construction go further – about 30% further, in fact.. Our most recent major healthcare architecture project opened at the beginning of September 2020 in Edgbaston, UK.
Circle Rehabilitation is a beautiful building, with some spectacular architectural and engineering features, as well as being a cutting-edge, best-in-class hospital with five operating theatres, ten first stage recovery beds, 20 second stage recovery beds, 20 hospital bedrooms and 120 bedrooms for rehabilitation patients.It is great to see players across the whole construction industry developing new innovative approaches to construction that expand the MMC toolkit.. To help the industry move forward, governments also have a role to play by encouraging and rewarding innovation and providing streamlined (but still robust) regulatory approvals processes for MMC innovations.. With a strong and diverse MMC toolkit and growing DfMA experience in the design professions, the industry as a whole will be better positioned to seize the opportunity to deliver better performing buildings, with less resources, that deliver maximum value to clients.
These are the key aims of a Design to Value approach.. [1].https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/modern-methods-of-construction-working-group-developing-a-definition-frameworkdownload our façade engineering brochure here.
