The design aspects that support this include:.

For me, there are a number of foundations that make IPD valuable: -.Each party does what they are best at and this includes the client.

Having spent many years in projects I realised that our allocation of work is so often skewed by a mode of thinking and processes that ultimately destroys value.We design detailed pipework with a one-stop-shop engineering company only to go through the ignominy of having it completely redesigned by the fabricator with the knowledge of manufacturing and construction.We allow designers to make educated guesses for design decisions only for subject matter experts to critique and change.

Finding ways to get the right people to do the right work at the right time is the first principle of an integrated approach.. Design is not a linear and regressive process.My second principle is the same principle that I have written about in relation to AI and general intelligence.

Any intelligent system cannot be left to operate in isolation or disconnected from the.

without regular checking-in; it is like leaving an AI-robot in-charge of your children.In the true spirit of.

Design to Value., optimisation of elements (not just beams and floor slabs) includes as many value drivers as possible, from environmental sustainability to the health and safety of the workforce (and indeed to the shortage of numbers in that workforce) to cost.. As a result of optimisation, automation and standardisation, the P-DfMA approach increases productivity, while reducing carbon (both embodied and in operation), construction time and cost.. Against Landsec’s typical benchmarks, the Forge is forecast to achieve significant gains in all of those areas..

Achieving Net-Zero.The Forge is designed to be the first commercial building in the UK to comply with the UK Green Building Council’s definition of a net-zero carbon building in both construction and operation..
