include the new workflows that a Platform construction approach will unlock, including automated and computational design.

He would like to see more of the sub trades and supply chain making successful requests to use more construction technology.In ten years, he hopes to see the industry building the same amount in five days that it currently builds in six and a half.

We need to use construction technology to enable workers to live more normally, he says, with businesses profiting as a result.The answer isn’t simply to do more jobs, it’s to accomplish more while simultaneously improving quality of life for construction workers.McKinsey have discussed suicide rates in construction previously, as well as other difficulties the industry is facing.

One of the core goals here is to return time back to the worker.. Lamont says much of this work is about humanising the workforce and humanising the workshop through technology.Of course, the industry’s aging workforce and skills shortage means that we also need to make the industry more attractive for workers in order to overcome other problems we’re facing.

We need to be clever in our approach to getting workers to engage with technology, because many of them are frightened and reticent about its adoption.

The solution lies in enabling access for people., in 2020. the IPA's.

Transforming Infrastructure Performance: Roadmap to 2030. , published in 2021.Also on this page are our three previous books on platform design for manufacture and assembly (P-DfMA), explaining the use of a platform design approach to construction.

These platform design books have grown in influence and importance since publication.It is our hope that these books will help further facilitate the adoption and wide-reaching benefits of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC)..
