If it is burnt or sent to landfill it will release CO2 and methane to the atmosphere, losing its properties as a heat sink.

We are interested in increasing quality, productivity, timeliness and cost effectiveness.So we have to ask certain key questions from the outset, like: what’s the least amount of material that could possibly be used to build an asset?

What’s the smallest number of times that asset could be touched or processed by people?How productive can those people be?.Our goal with P-DfMA is lean construction.

We want to remove anything which doesn’t add value.To achieve the best possible results, we must change the way we think, the way we manage materials and people.

Design must form the entry point, with that particular element of P-DfMA serving as the foundation and pervading principle for everything which follows.

We must allow the manufacture and assembly process to drive the way we design the asset in the first place, as well as the way we engage the client and the supply chain..The benefits of transforming construction will be enormous, but it won’t happen overnight.

However, as long as we have a clear and compelling vision, and are all aiming for the same end goal, companies will be able to plot their own path to reach it.The journey will be important and it must be handled properly.

Industry must have the capability and capacity to deliver new solutions.We need everyone to contribute and collaborate:clients, policymakers, the market.
