Jaimie Johnston and Kevin Masters talk to ICE Publishing about automated construction

This allows us to work with clients to standardise procurement, through a prearranged supply chain with stockholding, if necessary, of pre-agreed capital plant and equipment.

The coordination of key interactions (4.)was vital to have the full integrated design.

Including discussions/reviews with the client, conversations, and formal RFQ with supply chain.If done with thoughtfulness they could help lubricate and develop the thinking, rather than creating disruptive re-work.The difference between iteration and re-work needed to be understood..

This was not a highly detailed schedule, to try and develop that would have been counterproductive.I believe it presents a way to plan and progress design within the complex area of new-technology-realisation which requires thinking beyond our traditional approaches of design-stages led by deliverables..

If we wanted to not only preserve the value identified in an innovative concept and technology but to enhance it, we needed to change the way we approach basic/scheme and detailed design..

has made important strides in shaping the future of construction by bringing the standardised, repeatable platform systems found in the manufacturing sector into the construction industry.The report collated cross-departmental data across UK government departments, including the Department for Education (DfE), Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), Ministry of Justice (MoJ), and the Ministry of Defence (MoD).
