It’s very good.’.
The use of digital tools is an important part of DfMA which relies on capturing knowledge about how a building will be delivered from the earliest stages..The rapid pace of change in digitisation has created a great opportunity to integrate DfMA into projects in ways not previously possible.
Data contained within digital objects can be used to explore, test and validate construction methods from the earliest project stages..The role of the designer is evolving to include the creation and maintenance of digital assets with great potential value.Parties both within and outside the construction industry are developing new digital innovations to expand the MMC toolkit and realise this value.. A summary of key DfMA principles.
I have tried to summarise the above in simple terms to illustrate how the DfMA landscape can be viewed in the context of the industry.. DfMA is a design approach that considers ways to efficiently construct buildings by manufacturing and assembling their constituent parts..Designers apply DfMA by considering, evaluating and applying the toolkit of innovations collectively referred to as MMC..
The MMC toolkit includes a range of systems, components and material and process innovations including off-site and site-based solutions.
New MMC innovations are developed all the time.. Design to Value: moving forward with DfMA.It requires collaboration and the convening power of the Construction Leadership Council will be crucial to that.. BIM and digital twins.
We’ve been watching this process evolve over time, with BIM focused on digitising the design and construction of projects.What we’re really aiming for though, is a future state where we’re able to understand and measure and digitise the actual performance of built assets.
At that stage, we’ll be able to use the data to create insights beyond one particular project.Instead, the data will help us understand network and system level impacts.
