Transforming Construction – How can we build better, faster, cheaper, safer & greener?
Supported by the Construction Industry Group
In our consumer driven, digitally enabled society there is an expectation that the next ‘must have’ product will be built better, delivered faster and cost less.
Close your eyes, and imagine a world where sustainable buildings which push the boundaries of design creativity, are assembled safely, quickly, without compromising quality and cost less than what went before.
You don’t need to pinch yourself, it is not a dream, this is the world we live in and it is made possible through the power of manufacturing.
Applying the processes and principles of Platform Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA) which have transformed the manufacturing industry to the world of construction holds the promise of the same outcome.
In this presentation we will hear how Landsec are on a journey to fulfil the promise of modern methods of construction (MMC) and demonstrate its effectiveness at ‘The Forge’ development in Southwark, London.”
