Building smart: Prefabrication and DfMA strategies for enhanced efficiency and sustainability in construction

On demand

Overview

Prefabrication and Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) have emerged as game-changing methodologies, offering solutions to the challenges faced by the construction sector.

Explore with our panel of experts as the delve into the ways prefabrication and DfMA not only streamline processes but also contribute significantly to a greener, more sustainable construction industry.

Areas of discussion include:

1. Prefabrication: Accelerating timelines, elevating efficiency
  • Dive into the world of prefabrication and discover how off-site manufacturing accelerates construction timelines.
  • Explore real-world examples of how prefabricated components lead to faster, more streamlined project delivery without compromising quality.
2. DfMA principles: Integrating design and construction for efficiency
  • Understand the core principles of Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) and its role in harmonising the design and construction phases.
  • Learn how DfMA streamlines project workflows, minimises errors, and fosters a more collaborative approach to construction.
3. Cost-efficiency without compromise: The dual impact
  • Delve into the cost benefits of prefabrication, including reduced labor costs, minimised material waste, and optimised project budgeting.
  • Explore how prefabrication not only enhances efficiency but also contributes to overall project cost-effectiveness without compromising quality.
4. Sustainability in offsite construction
  • Explore the environmental benefits of prefabrication and DfMA, including reduced on-site waste and energy efficiency.
  • Understand how these methodologies align with broader sustainability goals, contributing to a greener and more eco-friendly construction industry.
5. Implementing change: Strategies for a sustainable future
  • Discuss actionable strategies for implementing prefabrication and DfMA in construction projects.
  • Explore best practices and lessons from industry leaders on fostering a culture of innovation for a more sustainable and efficient construction sector.
