This categorisation is quite diverse and includes a range of pre-manufactured and pre-assembled systems but also non-system components, site-based material innovations and process innovations..
The Hub aims to overcome the industry’s current fragmentation and adopt a new, data-driven, industrialised construction approach.The goal is to harmonise, digitalise and rationalise demand across industry projects and programmes.
By creating standardised products and components, driven by Design for Value principles and Platform construction methodologies, we can harness the benefits of manufacturing and DfMA for the good of the industry and wider society..The role of the Transforming Construction Challenge.The Construction Innovation Hub is funded through UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and the Construction Sector Deal as part of the Transforming Construction Challenge.
The Challenge aims to speed up the changes paramount to our future success, embracing manufacturing techniques, both in the supply chain and on-site, as well as expanding the use of digital technologies to foster project efficiency, design, feedback and assurance..The goal of the Transforming Construction Challenge is to use construction technology and DfMA to maximise the whole-life value of assets and to deliver those broader social value, environmental and economic outcomes we seek.
The Construction Innovation Hub focuses on these key themes, as it seeks to address the way buildings and infrastructure are procured, designed, delivered and operated with the context of a Design for Value approach.. Industry partners.
The Hub works collaboratively with industry, government, academia and partners.While the reason for this rationalisation was to allow for flexibility and future expansion, a change in business planning meant we had to bring this requirement forward, and expand the hospital while construction was underway, but also while keeping the lower floors operational.. Rationalisation of the internal grid does not limit the options for the external appearance or the aesthetic design of the building.
A Platforms approach places no constraint on the architect’s freedom to create a uniquely beautiful building that responds to its environment..Resilience, future-proofing and sustainability.
It is not enough for a hospital to be excellent when it first opens its doors..It must also be excellent next year, in 10 years’ time and 10 years after that.
