It needs to sit across the entire operation.
Problems like carbon emissions, poor build quality, labour shortages and the housing crisis - they can all be improved if we collectively refocus our energies and unify our processes.The creation of the Construction Innovation Hub is a response to this need.
The Hub aims to overcome the industry’s current fragmentation and adopt a new, data-driven, industrialised construction approach.The goal is to harmonise, digitalise and rationalise demand across industry projects and programmes.By creating standardised products and components, driven by Design for Value principles and Platform construction methodologies, we can harness the benefits of manufacturing and DfMA for the good of the industry and wider society..
The role of the Transforming Construction Challenge.The Construction Innovation Hub is funded through UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and the Construction Sector Deal as part of the Transforming Construction Challenge.
The Challenge aims to speed up the changes paramount to our future success, embracing manufacturing techniques, both in the supply chain and on-site, as well as expanding the use of digital technologies to foster project efficiency, design, feedback and assurance..
The goal of the Transforming Construction Challenge is to use construction technology and DfMA to maximise the whole-life value of assets and to deliver those broader social value, environmental and economic outcomes we seek.It is intrinsically linked to the overall feasibility of the building.. We are an integrated company, with multi-disciplinary teams working across all our projects from the earliest stages.
We have a strong background in technology, engineering and construction.The result of this is that we do not need to design to approximations and allowances – we can be precise from the outset.. Design from the inside out.
Fundamental to our design approach is that we start from the client’s requirements, which we establish during a series of early workshops.Designing a complex project does not always evolve in a linear fashion, so to deliver a quality design solution we must identify in the early stages of the design the details (technical, organisational, etc.)
