SURVEYING THE SECTOR
and facilitate a systematic approach to building performance with bio-based materials . Digital modelling tools have been indispensable in our endeavour to transition towards a new paradigm of material and energy constraints .
Our approach encompasses a variety of digital platforms which facilitate cost and carbon transparency and efficiency through the early design stages allowing for efficient appraisal of design and material specifications aka ‘ optioneering ’ in future this will be achieved by using material sustainability databases linked to real-time parametric geometry tools . Furthermore , our digital kit-of-parts seamlessly integrates with VR / AR technologies , aiding customers and developers in visualising and interacting with BIM Models and concept designs .
Conventional construction suffers from chronic low productivity . There is a shortage of skilled labour , leading to cost inflation and delays . In the UK alone , the construction sector ’ s workforce has decreased by 273,000 since 2019 . The sector is also responsible for about 20 – 30 % of all known serious occupational injuries . Our goal is to meet these challenges with digitally manufactured construction components where designers build detailed digital twins , machine-ready for CNC ( computer numerical control ) production : avoiding resource misallocation , duplication and delays .
By using digital fabrication alongside lean manufacturing principles our standardised components drive efficiency gains and maximise PMV ( Pre-Manufactured Value ), while data-driven quality control ensures a consistent product and reduced waste .
