It’s a methodology which facilitates higher accuracy, reduced costs, less waste, improved user experience and performance.. To this end, Circle Reading provides a glimpse into the efficiency anchored future of architecture, delivering a 25% cost savings on Circle’s previous Bath hospital and being delivered in just over eighteen months.
The reality is that making these changes offers a solution to many of the problems we’re facing as an industry at the moment, including poor productivity, low value, excessive amounts of waste, and carbon emissions.We need to find a way to facilitate this shift to industrialised construction because almost nothing is coming out in the way we intended it, Marks says, particularly in terms of cost, certainty, and schedule..
Still, switching the whole ecosystem to support industrialised construction represents a very difficult challenge..Starting with DfMA.Marks feels one beneficial change would come from the construction industry committing more broadly to seeking guidance from manufacturing professionals.
Currently, that isn’t often happening.However, if we want to shift to more of a manufacturing mindset, she believes it’s essential that we “get the right people in the room.”.
“The majority of the consultants that are working with our customers and myself on the industrialised construction offering are manufacturing consultants,” she says.
“You have to think of things like systems architecture, and you have to understand things like flow.and potential errors by assembling large elements off-site..
Shorten delivery times.through repeatable processes.. Lincoln’s background - ranging from carpentry to senior roles in construction innovation - has convinced him that detailed, standard designs can be scaled quickly and flexibly, making data centre production more predictable..
The AI Factor: Handling new workloads and higher power densities.One of the biggest challenges in the sector is the rise in AI-driven computing, which dramatically increases server rack power density and heat generation.
