The demo version is a series of dashboards showing how sets of interoperable data will enable the planning process at its various stages; which elements can be automated and which will require human intervention; and where we can connect with existing solutions.. Standardising and digitising the rules and datasets will enable us to move from demo to reality.. As said earlier, this is not a question of starting from scratch (or reinventing the wheel): the data already generated through the use of BIM and 3D modelling will form the basis of this process.

These processes then become highly repeatable, enabling greater levels of automation in construction.We can turn to techniques such as robotic welding to make the parts, for example, and use popular distribution warehousing equipment on site.

Such processes require fewer people and increase worker safety.In a socially distanced, post Covid-19 world, the advantages are even greater.. Standardisation in construction: making the most of what works best.It’s worth stressing again that standardisation in construction is not a negative, and it’s not unique to platform design either.

We’ve found that most clients want a certain level of standardisation.The Department for Education knows exactly what the best performing teaching space looks like.

Most residential developers have a pattern book of apartments, which are best suited for their needs.

They don’t want to design from scratch each time.Another interesting thing about Design to Value, is that it’s very suited to uncertainty.

At GSK, I found myself working on a pharmaceutical project in Parma.The goal was to manufacture a drug called an attachment inhibitor to benefit people with HIV and AIDS, for whom other treatments are no longer working.

The drug was in development and GSK wanted to get the product to market as quickly as possible..When trying to accelerate a product to market, it’s important not to tie things down too early.
