We developed a particular set of tools and an approach that over time became what we now refer to as Design to Value.

In Queensland, there’s been a recent expression of interest released to find out how they can utilise MMC to build more affordable and social housing.. States are talking about DfMA and MMC but taking different approaches and not necessarily sharing knowledge and insights.. 2.Start-ups will rise up.. A component-based platform approach will help engage local manufacturing.

We will see smaller manufacturers of repeat components getting engaged in the supply chain rather than just being a few big players producing the majority of a building.This has numerous socioeconomic advantages.Fostering innovative thinking among SME fabricators and smaller suppliers is a key driver for change in construction more broadly.. 3.

Australia needs a shift in mindset..Right now, the supply chain in Australia is relatively immature.

To move towards a component-based model, we must look at procurement and a holistic change in how we deliver construction projects.

How we can use multiple, smaller suppliers; procurement; different contracting methodologies, all need to be explored.. 4.platform approaches (P-DfMA).

and manufactured elements.It allows clients to maintain control over intellectual property and incorporate lessons learned to improve design cycles.

Multiple uses refine the design, enhancing layouts, space allocation, and functional flows.. Configuring Reference Design.Chip Thinking® lends itself to the use of digital configurators, automating the design process.
