Often owned by the client, it gives greater control over IP and incorporates lessons learned to improve across design cycles.

She says there’s a need for more people like herself and Jaimie Johnston to challenge what doesn’t make sense and stick their necks on the line.. “It's not easy to be the Queen of Prefab!” she says, adding, “Mike Tyson says, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.I've been punched in the face a lot.

It's not easy, but nothing that's really amazing is ever easy.And, by the way, interestingly enough, I don't really get punched in the face that often at all anymore, which is, I think, a litmus test that things are changing.”.Marks says that these days people mainly just want to know how to get where they need to go with all of this.

She says the CEOs still fighting the change to industrialised construction need to recognise that others aren’t anymore - that in a long-game sense, they “probably aren’t doing the right thing.”.“Companies should be seeing this as a massive opportunity in shaping themselves,” Johnston says, “positioning themselves to see it as a benefit and not saying: ‘I hope this passes me by and I can avoid making some of the big shifts.’”.

Marks reiterates that the shift to industrialised construction is going to take everyone’s involvement.

All of the key players need to recognise their own dissatisfaction and start making changes.. “I don’t just feel the shift,” she says.Platform II proves that endless possibilities can arise from a single kit of parts.. A study, led by Dr Danny Murguia, Research Associate at the Laing O'Rourke Centre for Construction and Technology of the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge, shows fantastic potential: doubling programme productivity, slashing embodied carbon by 20%, and reducing construction time by 40%.. Watch our video to see how Platform II is not just a concept, but a reality, paving the way for a more efficient, sustainable, and adaptable future in construction..
