In my story, I am the central character, wracked by negativity and the sense of a world somehow lost, with many worries about the future.
There are also considerable time-saving benefits with P-DfMA, which enable us to spend more time on the design and optimisation of components in the first place.We put a tremendous amount of effort into component design because we know we’ll be using those same components again and again.
Every gram of material you take out of the manufacturing process, out of each assembly process, has a massive multiplier effect in terms of material reduction.This is an important part of sustainable design.These processes then become highly repeatable, enabling greater levels of automation in construction.
We can turn to techniques such as robotic welding to make the parts, for example, and use popular distribution warehousing equipment on site.Such processes require fewer people and increase worker safety.
In a socially distanced, post Covid-19 world, the advantages are even greater.. Standardisation in construction: making the most of what works best.
It’s worth stressing again that standardisation in construction is not a negative, and it’s not unique to platform design either.The better the problem is understood, the better the outcome will be.
The first idea to come to mind isn’t always the best solution.We need to really, fully understand the goal, and then explore ideas around that.
This process drives maximum value solutions.. Chip Thinking®️ transforms construction projects.We use a range of different tools and techniques to help guide this process: modelling, data analytics and discrete event simulation.
