This allows an initial solution (or multiple solutions) to be developed, with pre-defined rules assuring compliance.

The standardisation process reduces the volume of materials and the number of construction elements which in turn reduces the capital cost of the project.The repetition of components at a large scale can reduce the cost of standardised elements.. A Platforms digital workflow delivers tremendous improvements to the procurement process.

Having all data centralised in a BIM model provides instant access to both the cost and availability of a project’s components, and creates a more direct relationship with the supply chain cutting down transaction costs..Reduced programme:.The design of each assembly and junction can be pre-tested and individually certified to Passivhaus standards before being included within any design.

This approach facilitates the pre-certification of components, panelised systems, building systems for thermal/hygrothermal/airtightness performance, reducing design time and programme..The repetition of detailing between projects means that a design library of pre-certified components is retained for future projects, making the design process more efficient and quicker..

Achieving Passivhaus performance can require an iterative design process to ensure performance during the final stage of construction inspection and testing is achieved.

This iterative process can be shortened using BIM integration and digital twins which are inherently part of a DfMA approach..Construction Innovation Hub. )

are necessary to drive sector-wide change.Multi-stakeholder reports and materials on the practical application of MMC with collaboration from builders, engineers, designers, suppliers, and integrators, will enable everyone to be heard and shape the change.. 5.

We need to get rid of offsite stigma..The construction industry has been stuck in a time warp of lowest price, maximum risk transfer.
