Available to purchase at.We are likely to need greater standardisation of processes to be able to track the information and decisions leading to compliance.Industry challenge.

Design and project management processes differ per project, standardisation of such a number of differing variables is almost impossible.Platforms solution.P-DfMA distils down the variables considerably, providing a smaller number of solutions and components to share across industry, enabling the standardisation of both design and project management processes.

Harmonised cross sector requirements unlock the standardisation required to consolidate technical requirements.P-DfMA is a rationalised approach to design and construction.

It simplifies complexity and creates systems in the place of custom requirements at every level, presenting a much more straightforward foundation on which to adopt new safety requirements..

The Construction Innovation Hub’s ‘.What can we learn?.

Xometry uses a widely distributed network of suppliers who can respond to requests which suit their capabilities and capacity.This would be a positive outcome for construction, ensuring those suppliers who were local to a planned project could respond, reducing travel distance and therefore carbon, risk of delivery delays etc..

This distribution helps manufacturers to maximise their utilisation; downtime on equipment and operatives contributes to overhead, which is amortised across orders, raising prices and lowering productivity.Having easy access to long term pipeline (as advocated in the Construction Playbook) will of course help ensure there is less downtime.
