Thoughts and conclusions Promoting construction offsite
Client imperatives Cost – cost neutral. The economy is improving, let’s raise costs! Time – a manhole in a day etc.. Quality – right first time – snags!! Safety – scaffolding – dangerous! Culture and behaviour – JLR – 2 hairdressers! Logistics – Stobart/white van or a wheelbarrow Sustainability – cost of carbon per ton? Are you A LEADER OR A FOLLOWER?
Remember ?
This is how we build houses
This is how we could build £286m 50 storey 80% offsite Manufactured at EXPLORE manufacturing Great Irish in Great Britain 122 Leadenhall Street (The Cheesegrater building)
The planets are aligning Culture & behaviour Low carbon offsite Lean BIM Client wishes: Cost, time, quality, safety and sustainability DFMA
