Learning how the components perform, or how the facade systems are working, can help refine the components and make a better asset next time.
However, she cautions that after owners demand the change, it’s important they’re involved in allowing people to change the process to decrease risk and make things possible.. Jaimie Johnston points out that people often want innovation, but they want it to be tried and tested, without extra risk.They want a sophisticated way of delivering, but through an existing framework, an existing set of contracts, an existing set of contractual terms.. “No one doubts that you can deliver an asset using some of these technologies, he says, “but it's the framework of procurement methodology and contracts, and IP, and warranties and insurances - all those other things that need to change.”.
“What I'm finding now,” says Amy Marks, “is that they love industrialised construction, they want to understand certainty, so they're starting to dictate and decouple the process of construction and productising it.”.We need to connect makers and designers, she says.We need to look across everything we’ve built and find the consistencies.
We can’t do it by hand, we need to use algorithms and machine learning.We need to decouple some of the process, which is done differently every time, to create certainty.. To illustrate her point, Marks raises the example of a generator, built consistently to a 250 horsepower capacity.
With a generator, we already know its size, shape, and the way it will act.
An architect wouldn’t request a generator of a custom capacity for a particular project, she says, because no one is going to decide that a manufactured product ought to be manufactured to a different capacity.. We don’t need to know many DfMA principles surrounding generators because they are productised, she says.We provide our data centre clients with tailored, automated tools and insights into design delivery using leading-edge creative technologies..
Pioneering DfMA:.We’re experts in manufacturing-led construction for reduced time and risk.
We analyse where value in.can be leveraged based on experience and knowledge of local markets, and often challenge our partners to question what is possible.. Scalability made simple:.
