Modernising the planning process

If this kind of analysis, or at least the insights from it, could be shared widely with the industry it could help accelerate interest and action, particularly in the generics ecosystem..

The role of DfMA and MMC in Australia.Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) and Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) are driving new ways of thinking in Australia, with uptake driven by schools and health.

However, Lamont says these methods aren’t in alignment with the old ways of making money, and so MMC costs remain high.There are also things happening purely from a compliance perspective, such as aluminum cladding replacement programs.These are government pieces of work, specifically looking for innovative techniques.

Ultimately, there are similar standards to 19650 coming into play.Level 2 is coming in with the language.

There’s also a relationship in terms of how smart contracts are being tied into those sorts of outcomes.

However, much of this evolution is happening in a piecemeal way.. asBuilt believe the situation is too big for the government to bring entirely under control, and say there are cost overruns for the benefits they’re realizing, which pertain to the inputs.However, getting construction technology down to the smaller contractors and lower tiers on a construction site remains challenging.

Without their involvement, we aren’t gathering valuable site data, which simply evaporates.Therefore, the logical question becomes, how do we engage those people?.

asBuilt believes we need to find a way for those workers to use construction technology onsite without even realising they’re doing it.In this way, we’ll unlock more technology, more often.
