The UK is at a point where a lot needs to be built in a short time. Mega projects alone account for 77% of overall annual project value*. The problem is that mega projects are known to overrun on cost and programme. At the same time they're considered to be too unique to benefit from DfMA. So how can this gap between supply and demand be closed?
The solution is systemisation
We have now found a way of delivering the benefits of DfMA at scale. The key is a system of repeating components that give sufficient flexibility to allow mass customisation, while working within the confines of architectural design. Crucially, our system also works with existing supply chain, procurement, manufacture, logistics and assembly processes.
When do you need it?
Systemisation offers benefits for any large scale project or programme where there's the possibility of using a higher degree of standardised components, for example
Mega Projects
Schemes to be rolled out across multiple projects
Repetitive assets or frameworks
Redeployable assets
Projects using automation or robots
