We use a range of different tools and techniques to help guide this process: modelling, data analytics and discrete event simulation.

Working standards and efficiency are paramount.As we move into a DfMA world, it’s important that progress is influenced by the workers who are going to be installing the work, and that they are given the opportunity to do their jobs in the safest, best way possible.

This will also simplify the work, reduce the number of site operatives needed and the level of experience required.This will in turn reduce frustration on site and, ultimately, change the way people work in the construction industry to make it more attractive to the next generation.. 4.IPD removes misunderstandings and tensions between designer and constructor.

Integrated Project Delivery promotes a high level of collaboration and shared commercial reward so that stakeholders are incentivised to work together in a better way.There’s no room for finger-pointing because all problems are for everyone to solve.

The role of the IPD team is to raise problems up, work out the best solution, and execute that as efficiently as possible.. 5.

Generative design is the game-changer for the next ten years.Pure contracting, as we currently know it, is likely to be a smaller part of the market.

Consultancy models are also likely to change, with a shift away from hourly rates for procured design services, towards an outcome and value-based model.This would work more like app development, where a product developer might identify a need in the market and then create a solution to license, achieving monetisation by selling it repeatedly in the UK and overseas.

This is particularly likely if there’s a focus on design for manufacture and assembly (DfMA).. We’ll also see data driving diversification.People will begin to understand how they can use data to offer different products and services, impacting things like availability and operational performance.
