If architects are using 3D models, why would planners use 2D drawings and not those models?
Adopting this Design to Value approach, enables us to see how small changes in one component can have a dramatic consequence at a later stage.And conversely, we can trace inefficiencies and anomalies back to their source.
By modelling the effect of several variables simultaneously we can build in flexibility where it’s needed to ensure future viability when circumstances change, which, as current events should teach us, they will.. From the earliest stages, we work with 3D visualisations of processes and physical assets.This allows users to take a virtual reality walk through the process, to test the physical environment and anticipate any issues.It’s proven to be very helpful for people to be able to interact with a potential solution in this immersive way, making it much easier to articulate requirements and assess solutions.. Standardisation and automation in construction.
There are elements of some processes that are unique and so will require a bespoke built solution.But there are also many elements that are, or could be, automated or standardised across multiple processes in one or more sectors and industries.
Discovering standardisation adds its own value; not having to reinvent the wheel with every project; being able to apply the learning gathered from previous projects to the current one; and resource and cost efficiencies in all stages of design and production..
The benefits of standardisation are visible every day in the manufacturing industry, at global scale.This work was adopted as a key articulation of the UK Government’s aspiration to adopt a more industrialised approach to construction and was referenced in their ‘.
Construction Playbook.’ and the Construction Innovation Hub’s ‘.
Product Platform Playbook.’, which describes it as ‘seminal’.
