We believe that going forward this role will put more effort into controlling logistics, supply chain etc… In fact, roles throughout the supply chain will change, becoming more efficient and more focused on driving value.. Meeting the needs of our clients.
However, it’s a risk that is, to some extent, understood.That said, construction Platform design does help to change that risk profile dramatically and to reduce the amount of risk on a construction project..
If we take another look at what the UK government is doing through the Construction Innovation Hub, we can see that they are looking to aggregate construction demand across different departments.By harmonising the standards and requirements, and developing standardised components, they are creating a huge, central body of knowledge.This library of common solutions will, in turn, mean that on each project, none of the construction design work necessarily needs to be done from scratch.
Combining standardisation with the digital design tools that create better-coordinated models and data-rich designs, along with program cost and supply chain data embedded in the model, is powerful.Add in the Hub’s work on introducing APQP, and we will get a level of consistency into components, which will deliver a real benefit.
We believe having this greater provenance over our components addresses the question of warranties and insurance, and creates a much lower risk profile on a construction project.
What’s more, the idea of pre-prototyping components before we get to site should mean there is very little left to learn.Marks talks about the convergence that’s happening between industries, companies, processes and products.
The world is getting smaller than it ever was before, she says, and it’s creating greater opportunity.She points out that 10-15 years ago she wouldn’t have been able to get in the room with the kinds of big companies she’s meeting with now.
These days they’re coming to her for help and she’s passionately excited about the change happening right before her eyes.. “What we have to recognise,” she says, “is we're counting on each other, and we have to make sure that we're all doing the right things because it’s so connected.”.She reminds us that.
