What’s the smallest number of times that asset could be touched or processed by people?

If we make headway with Platform construction there will be a massive international market available.This could be a real opportunity, if we can join up a few different elements.. With BIM Pro we saw the need to go out and engage with foreign governments, forming a community to promote an approach and process which drives better delivery.

We need to consider what the UK can offer those international markets beyond BIM.We’re very highly regarded in finance and insurance, for example, and those things are required by world leaders who want to deliver infrastructure and construction programmes.We’ve got all the various digital tools which are being developed and coming to market now.

We have things like the Value Toolkit coming out of The Construction Innovation Hub.The question is, how do we help governments make choices that support their ambitions?

Value drivers aren’t exactly the same from one country to the next, and so we’ll need to help them make choices based on what’s best for their own local needs, projects and communities..

Although our technical services and products are becoming increasingly exportable and marketable, we need a more cohesive and collaborative approach regarding how we bring that UK construction value proposition to market.This development will be two office buildings around an internal courtyard, rising to nine storeys and covering a total of 135,000 sq ft.

It is designed to a ‘zero carbon in use’ strategy, and the efficiencies and innovations inherent to P-DfMA are already achieving remarkable gains: 40% reduction in steel used; a forecast 19.4% reduction in embodied carbon per square metre, a 36.4% carbon reduction in the substructure and 20.2% in the superstructure and façade.. Sumner Street is a game changer for construction.But it’s important to see that it has not come in isolation.

It is a big step on a journey that is a direct result of support and collaboration between UK government, key industry players and a new supply chain.. All the learnings from the Sumner Street project will be fed back into the work of the CIH, continuing the virtuous cycle; this initiative was promoted by government at the start, and is now demonstrating how that initial support is bearing fruit and will continue to do so..It is through collaborative approaches like this between government and the private sector that we can achieve value-driven transformation of the sector and bring enormous benefit to the built environment and society more broadly.. On 8 July 2020, Chancellor Rishi Sunak committed funding to modern methods of construction in his Plan for Jobs..
