How to Make Homemade Tortilla Chips

With construction currently contributing 39% to global carbon emissions, we simply aren’t moving fast enough and the issue needs to be brought forward.

As such, forms of modular will no doubt be part of the future solution..In the US, there have been several conferences about ‘industrialized construction,’ and players like Katerra and Factory_OS are developing their own vertically integrated offers..

Overall, there is a global recognition that a more manufacturing-like approach is needed.‘Volumetric’ seems to be the first and most obvious starting point, but we believe there is a need for a wider and more sophisticated ecosystem of DfMA.There may be parallels with what happened with BIM.

The UK was the first to mandate Building Information Modelling and our standards became quite widely adopted, or were at least used as a starting point, globally.It will be interesting to see if construction Platform design has a similar global appeal, once people have understood the limitations of modular.. COVID-19: accelerating the shift to construction Platforms?.

COVID-19 has simply accelerated this journey, or accentuated the need to move forwards at speed.

As a result, the UK government is now looking to double down on the current plan to develop construction Platforms and to make things happen even more quickly.The very process of creating such a plan – gathering all the relevant information and data and presenting it back to clients in a structured way – is in itself a highly productive exercise, allowing people to pull back from the detail of day-to-day operations, and take a more holistic view of what they are doing.

Many activities, processes and sites develop organically over time, meaning that the big picture can become confused or even lost altogether.Agreeing what needs to be done can be a challenge in itself, as it can be hard even to know where to start.. Design to Value master planning is a highly collaborative process, customised to the client’s specific situation and requirements, which aims to create sufficient understanding from which to decide what, how and when to improve – and why.

And given that the constant in every project is uncertainty and change, it must always allow for multiple variables, both known and unknown..Importantly, effective master planning also allows the client to explain simply – and sell – their issues, requirements and planning to other (senior) internal stakeholders, demonstrating clearly how to move from a present state to potential future states, and the benefits of doing so..
