Searching the data for ‘SL_90_10_47 Lifts’ would show the exact number of lifts in the five-year pipeline and allow government to place contracts for the manufacture, installation and assembly of bulk orders of lifts, creating economies of scale;.
That said, he believes that the contracting market is engaging for compliance, not necessarily to be more efficient.He talks about Transport for New South Wales, who’ve come up with an amazing, digital engineering framework to set the output requirements they want the industry to meet.
Unfortunately, he says, it’s gotten lost in some of the government context of what’s going on there.The framework is trying to drive large infrastructure programs of work because they’re so complex, and this feeds into health and schools, as well as other government-led projects.On the other hand, in the commercial sector, he believes profit has been the primary motivator.
He notes that as the delivery of BIM as a professional service becomes more and more commoditised, value will inevitably be lost, alongside the sense of why the thing is being undertaken.Rates are also increasing, he says, with less work being done..
The role of DfMA and MMC in Australia.
Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) and Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) are driving new ways of thinking in Australia, with uptake driven by schools and health.TIP 2021 talks about factory-like conditions on site.. There’s been an increasing sophistication around people's understanding of modern methods of construction, in that MMC doesn't just mean offsite, and neither does platform construction (P-DfMA), We’re starting to talk much more about the real drivers.
We want our assets delivered in a way that’s better, faster and greener.The aim is for less material, fewer people, higher productivity, and automation and activity where it's best suited..
The emphasis with The Roadmap to 2030 is very much on that process from concept and design, right through to the end of an asset’s life.The use of data in a consistent way, as part of the information management mandate, will be key to ensuring ongoing effectiveness across the whole life-cycle.
