Project life cycle assessments (LCA) are becoming standard practice.

The process will be able to handle multiple stakeholders and purposes, all at the same time, mitigating and eliminating the risk in these where possible.. Industry challenge.Even if each stakeholder or specialist, does their utmost to deliver as planned, the interfaces where specialisms meet will remain a tolerance risk.. As long as changes can be made on site, assets will always be vulnerable to unintended consequences..

Platforms solution.Platform II acts as a carrier frame, providing a stiff and accurate superstructure that allows proof of compliance in installation.Platforms dramatically reduce the risk of on-site changes in two key ways:.

Intelligent design and automated fabrication remove the need for human ‘interpretation’ of drawings, increasing accuracy and consistency, for greater safety and productivity.Platform II was designed to use basic materials with the minimum amount of fabrication where possible.

Most components use no or low levels of fabrication (these can be thought of as ‘dumb’ components).

These components tend to be the large, heavy, commoditised elements including:.This would include approaches like laser cutting components, and the use of autonomous reach stackers to place components.. As we move forward with automation in construction, we won’t need as many people on site.

The operatives who are there will be working much more safely, with greater productivity.They are likely to be part of multi-skilled gangs, trained with the know-how to assemble a whole range of components, as opposed to each individual having a single trade.

These teams will be able to build a hospital one day, a school the next, and a set of apartments the day after.Each project will use the same, standardised components.
