In this blog, I reflect on how you approach planning for design with emergence..

Rates are also increasing, he says, with less work being done..The role of DfMA and MMC in Australia.

Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) and Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) are driving new ways of thinking in Australia, with uptake driven by schools and health.However, Lamont says these methods aren’t in alignment with the old ways of making money, and so MMC costs remain high.There are also things happening purely from a compliance perspective, such as aluminum cladding replacement programs.

These are government pieces of work, specifically looking for innovative techniques.Ultimately, there are similar standards to 19650 coming into play.

Level 2 is coming in with the language.

There’s also a relationship in terms of how smart contracts are being tied into those sorts of outcomes.Using construction technology in this way facilitates benefits like on the day sign-off, with confirmation that the correct tonnage has been installed.

asBuilt believes the construction industry’s core problem lies in connectivity, and that we need to be evaluating where we should be looking to unlock connectivity on construction sites.That makes this a technology landing issue, rather than a technology platform issue.

In other words, what’s important here is where the construction technology lands, and why that’s effective.. On a broader level, this type of construction technology work relates to the current industry conversation surrounding the ecosystem of connected digital platforms that are starting to emerge in construction, with core connective pieces beginning to come together.These new software platforms are focused on stitching together other software products and allowing them to talk to each other in a particular way.
