The benefits of adopting a process engineering approach.
The implementation of DfMA combined with energy efficiency measures, specification of low carbon materials and carbon offset measures is the proposed pathway to the delivery of successful net zero carbon buildings..

However with accelerating interest in Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) and Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), it sometimes seems that on-site construction is falling out of favour..In 2019, the UK’s Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) – as it was then called – published an MMC Definition Framework (see my earlier article,.What does DfMA stand for?).
This framework proposes Pre-Manufactured Value (PMV) as a metric for assessing the scale of MMC adoption on a project.PMV is calculated as the percentage of cost that is derived before any site works and strongly encourages maximising the proportion of off-site works.. As a result, many parts of the construction industry are focusing more and more on off-site prefabrication in pursuit of benefits including lower cost, reduced delivery timescales, higher quality, improved health and safety, less waste and more productive site labour..
But is off-site always the best way to achieve these benefits?
Construction sites have been around since the dawn of civilisation.facilitating a. successful.
shift to industrialised construction.isn't just about the technology and the software tools, but about creating the right processes, having the support system from government and building departments, and authorities having jurisdiction.. “By the way,” she says.
“I started saying industrialised revolution because I truly meant it.This is a revolution.
