Things began to shift when the Construction Leadership Council (CLC), and some of the large industry players, began to talk about how we could start to work together to be more effective.
https://www.brydenwood.co.uk/offsiteoronsiteconstruction/s125064/.The shift offers a range of benefits across the construction life cycle.
Working this way, components or systems (including those related to platform design (P-DfMA), or in some cases modular construction) can be more readily fabricated in off-site facilities and transported to site for final assembly.On-site operations can also model themselves on manufacturing processes to provide higher efficiencies, predictability and reduce waste.In addition, this creates many more opportunities to implement automation and digital tools, particularly in off-site manufacturing..
Previously, we have covered the general benefits of discrete event simulation (DEM) in construction (https://www.brydenwood.co.uk/discreteeventsimulation/s97989/), and the increasing use of these powerful tools as a core part of automation in construction.The need for these tools is on the rise as design and construction continue to tackle some of the largest issues an industry could face: low and declining productivity, poor predictability, shrinking workforce and skills shortages.
Other industries have been able to embrace new approaches and technologies to see continual year-on-year increases in labour productivity and other areas.
As we move towards the future, construction firms will need to embrace construction automation and MMC, to create positive transformation in the industry.. Case study: DES for analysis of automated truss fabrication.2023's unique feature: Live research session.
In a move to make the event even more interactive, this year introduces a one-hour live research session.Here, attendees will explore various contemporary topics like embodied carbon solutions or integrated factory modelling.
But it's not just about passive learning; participants will actively engage in live research, directly inputting their thoughts and opinions via their phones..In conclusion, the Advancing Prefab event in Phoenix, Arizona, scheduled for the 13th and 14th of March, promises to be a blend of innovation, learning, and networking.
