Each project will use the same, standardised components.
The way things currently stand in the construction industry, every building we create is essentially a prototype.This means that our built assets are riddled with all the inefficiency of one-off designs and custom components.
But just as people no longer have their shoes tailor-made by a shoe maker, it’s time for the construction industry to embrace change and forge a new path toward progress.As we stare down the barrel of a rapidly growing, global population and its associated infrastructure needs, alongside an aging construction workforce and a life-altering climate crisis, our current state of low productivity, non-transferable learnings, and high waste is no longer acceptable.. It’s these types of issues, and the associated risk, industrialised construction products and processes help to resolve.. Making the change with Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA).The issue of productisation forms a key concept within the industry’s broader shift toward industrialised (or manufactured) construction.
However, implementing.modular and prefabricated building components along with a.
Design for Manufacture and Assembly processes doesn’t mean we’ll end up with low-quality buildings that all look the same.
In actuality, adopting this new way of working holds the key to tremendously positive and wide-reaching benefits for both people and the planet.. By adopting industrialised construction, we’ll produce.Construction Productivity Roadmap.
to foster improvement in workforce productivity and greater technology adoption by the industry.. DfMA has been on the radar in Singapore since at least 2014 when it was identified as a key component of the second.Building Information Modelling (BIM) Roadmap issued by BCA.
In 2015, the Singapore Government published the.Essential Guide to BIM for DfMA.
