Usually simple solvents (unhalogenated) derived from biomass.. 2.
In terms of where the construction industry is heading in the near future, Professor Glass says that in addition to prioritising our climate change issues, she’d like to see an end to the use of Return on Capital Employed for all of the major contractors.If this unsustainable situation were to change, so that we instead faced a scenario whereby Tier 1 contractors were being judged on Return on Investment, it would likely mean that these key players had disrupted their businesses, understood where change was necessary, were investing, doing more R&D, and creating net zero businesses.
In other words, the change the industry is looking for will happen with Tier 1.As such, we must continue on our current trajectory towards innovation, change and forward progress.As we focus our energy and attention on shaping the future of construction, facilitating a new and better reality for our built environment, we’ll find that both our society and planet will reap the benefits of a modernised and more sustainable construction industry..

, Vice President of Enterprise Transformation at Autodesk, in conversation with.In fact, we’re already seeing a wide range of benefits from the adoption of Platforms (P-DfMA) and our wider approach using modern methods of construction.
Our recent work in the UK with Landsec on a modular office building project has demonstrated the following advantages: the automation of processes leading to a 30-50% reduction in the numbers of people onsite, an increase in safety as a result of reduced work at height, lower capital costs with a 25% reduction in materials due to component optimisation, and a 13% improvement in speed.Already impressive, we expect these metrics will only continue to improve over time.. Design to Value.
The starting point, and where we must begin in order to truly maximise the benefits that P-DfMA and MMC make possible, is to rework our core processes (design, procure, construct, operate) around a central, driving principle: process-led design.In other words, we must begin with the manufacture and assembly process in mind.
