Their pioneering work with platform design enables sets of components or assemblies to be configured in a variety of different ways, in order to create a variety of different assets within the built environment. Part of a Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) approach to construction, the benefits of platforms design include improved efficiency, costs, quality, safety and sustainability. The construction industry currently contributes 39% of global carbon emissions, so we need to act.
