Most components use no or low levels of fabrication (these can be thought of as ‘dumb’ components).

They need to work out how to address the vast, global market that’s on the way.We are now starting to see people considering these issues.. P-DfMA for the future.

From the aging demographic to the impact of COVID-19, the challenges facing the construction industry have never been starker.This reality, coupled with a climate crisis the construction industry is significantly contributing to (producing 39% of global carbon emissions), means that we are faced with an urgent need for action.The good news is that all of the enablers needed to take the industry forward are already in place.

The construction Platform movement is gaining momentum and we hope it could be our current reality within five to ten years.It’s entirely achievable, so long as the industry decides that the time has come to take action, and that this is the direction we want to move.

If it’s not, then why not?.

To listen to Jaimie Johnston talking about the future of Platform Construction and DfMA in more detail, listen to Episode 2 of our Built Environment Matters podcast.discussed some recent developments in my region but the interest in using DfMA on construction projects to drive benefits related to cost and programme, quality, productivity, health and safety and sustainability is growing worldwide.. As DfMA grows from a niche topic into a mainstream conversation in the construction industry, more and more government and private sector stakeholders are getting involved developing strategies and finding opportunities.

However, there is a fundamental challenge hindering newcomers to DfMA and MMC – understanding what these terms actually mean.. Confusion is a barrier to change: talking about Modern Methods of Construction.The DfMA landscape is littered with acronyms, abbreviations and terminology that is often poorly defined and even more poorly understood.

Terms such as DfMA, MMC, Offsite construction, Prefab, PPVC, MiC and many more are often used interchangeably resulting in great confusion not only for newcomers but also established players in the industry..I believe the lack of clarity around nomenclature in the DfMA landscape has become a major barrier to change.
