We put a tremendous amount of effort into component design because we know we’ll be using those same components again and again.Every gram of material you take out of the manufacturing process, out of each assembly process, has a massive multiplier effect in terms of material reduction.

This is an important part of sustainable design.These processes then become highly repeatable, enabling greater levels of automation in construction.We can turn to techniques such as robotic welding to make the parts, for example, and use popular distribution warehousing equipment on site.

Such processes require fewer people and increase worker safety.In a socially distanced, post Covid-19 world, the advantages are even greater.. Standardisation in construction: making the most of what works best.

It’s worth stressing again that standardisation in construction is not a negative, and it’s not unique to platform design either.

We’ve found that most clients want a certain level of standardisation.This process is broken down into spaces where key parts of value are added.

This could be a manufacturing step in a factory, or security check in an airport.We call these pieces of the value chain Chips, and strung together they form our process.. Chips provide physicality.

They allow engineers to design and simultaneously generate data.This data can then be used by other departments.
