The Dyson blog: Design to Value and the Environmental Emergency

At the point of inquiry, we are trying to get that information loaded into that Chip..

http://bit.ly/BWNewsUpdatesFor pretty much forever, on-site or in-situ construction has been the default way of building.However with accelerating interest in Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) and Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), it sometimes seems that on-site construction is falling out of favour..

In 2019, the UK’s Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) – as it was then called – published an MMC Definition Framework (see my earlier article,.What does DfMA stand for?).This framework proposes Pre-Manufactured Value (PMV) as a metric for assessing the scale of MMC adoption on a project.

PMV is calculated as the percentage of cost that is derived before any site works and strongly encourages maximising the proportion of off-site works.. As a result, many parts of the construction industry are focusing more and more on off-site prefabrication in pursuit of benefits including lower cost, reduced delivery timescales, higher quality, improved health and safety, less waste and more productive site labour..But is off-site always the best way to achieve these benefits?

Construction sites have been around since the dawn of civilisation.

Do we really want to walk away from all that learning, and start moving as much of the construction process as possible into distant sheds?.But you know, it's not lonely anymore.

That's so good.”.To learn more about our Design to Value approach to design and construction, sign up for our monthly newsletter here:.
