Bryden Wood’s design for wellbeing experience.

According to Amy Marks, we need strong leadership figures in the industry who are going to take risks and be thought leaders.. “Every CEO that comes to me, I'm like, get ready, this is gonna take a lot of money, a lot of time, a lot of effort, you're not going to get there on one project.”.She cautions against trying small, single aspects of industrialised construction on one project at a time, as the projects take years to complete and so the learnings are too few and take much too long to achieve.

She says there’s a need for more people like herself and Jaimie Johnston to challenge what doesn’t make sense and stick their necks on the line.. “It's not easy to be the Queen of Prefab!” she says, adding, “Mike Tyson says, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.I've been punched in the face a lot.It's not easy, but nothing that's really amazing is ever easy.

And, by the way, interestingly enough, I don't really get punched in the face that often at all anymore, which is, I think, a litmus test that things are changing.”.Marks says that these days people mainly just want to know how to get where they need to go with all of this.

She says the CEOs still fighting the change to industrialised construction need to recognise that others aren’t anymore - that in a long-game sense, they “probably aren’t doing the right thing.”.

“Companies should be seeing this as a massive opportunity in shaping themselves,” Johnston says, “positioning themselves to see it as a benefit and not saying: ‘I hope this passes me by and I can avoid making some of the big shifts.’”.from the University of Cambridge showed that Platform II and P-DfMA (Platform Design for Manufacture and Assembly) could potentially double programme productivity, reduce embodied carbon by 20%, and achieve a 40% reduction in programme time.

These significant improvements demonstrate the potential of the platform approach to revolutionise construction processes, making them faster, more efficient, and environmentally friendly.. 5.Facilitating a Circular Economy and Repurposing Infrastructure:.

Platform II supports the concept of a circular economy in construction.By understanding the provenance of every component, it becomes viable to repurpose them in different assets.
