Defining customer value to drive innovation in design and construction | Will Lichtig, Chief of Staff at The Boldt Company
What can we learn?.
It's too many.”.Creating an opportunity: prefabrication and productisation in construction.
The problem we’re currently facing, Marks says, is that “we're only talking about the baby steps of prefabrication, or really fabrication, at this point.We're not enabling productisation.There's a difference.
And I think we have to quickly almost leapfrog over fabrication to productisation.”.Marks says that productisation will free architects, empowering them to be “the true architects of the parameters, of the combination, of those elements.”.
Additionally, she adds, given that not everything warrants productisation, architects will be able to spend more time doing the work they came into the industry to do - the more artistic work, and the work more specifically related to the end-user experience.. Jaimie Johnston agrees there’s a massive opportunity on offer for designers with industrialised construction.. “The people who write the standards don't necessarily understand the implications; clients want the value, but don't know how to do it; product producers have no product know-how to make the bits.
It should be the designers that are stitching all those bits together, understanding those standards, understanding what's available.The system design is based on a scalable, component based, modular solution that targets off-site prefabrication using BIM.
This has led to the commission of a number of feasibility studies for GSK projects following the system design solution.. Kevin has extensive experience with University frameworks having worked with various colleges including University of Cambridge, University Campus Suffolk and University College London.Pablo is an Architect with broad experience in.building physics.
He joined Bryden Wood in April 2021 as Head of Sustainability.. Pablo has worked on multiple UK and international projects and masterplans, providing technical advice with emphasis on the environmental and social impacts of architecture.He has developed his expertise in a wide range of areas of sustainability, including life-cycle carbon analysis, daylight, thermal modelling and energy efficiency..
