Platform construction offers us a wide range of improvements when compared to traditional construction — it’s faster, safer and more cost effective, for a start.However, one of the biggest benefits Platform construction offers is to give us more control, which ultimately facilitates meaningful embodied carbon savings..
When we look to use sustainable design techniques to reduce embodied carbon in a building, we first seek to reduce the quantity of building materials used.After this, we evaluate the material type.Although we do look at traditional building materials, like steel and concrete, it’s also important to evaluate how specifications might be changed and adapted for newer product options, such as low-carbon concrete.
Future proofing is a consideration, because when new materials and improvements in the industry arise, we want to be able to make best use of them without having to substantially change designs.We don’t want to have to rearrange all of our architecture, just because there's a new product available.
We can overcome this issue by designing flexible buildings, offering future use suitability to a number of different architectural typologies..
The benefits of kit-of-parts architecture.This podcast offers a comprehensive view of the future of construction, emphasising the need for lean principles, collaboration, standardisation, technological integration, and advanced planning methodologies.In this episode, Head of Global Systems,.
