Design for Manufacture and Assembly - DfMA
Price Building Services offer an expansive DfMA capability using cutting-edge technologies assisting in the manufacture and delivery of pre-fabricated products.
Our dedicated fabrication facilities are deeply integrated with our design and modelling teams to bring the benefits of Design for Manufacture and Asssembly.
A module and prefabrication review of project strategy is undertaken with any ITT and implemented early in the stage 1 (PCSA) design stage. This conceptual approach highlights anything that brings programme, practical and commercial advantage to the project.
PBS standardises for lean manufacture, improving quality, efficiencies and managing risks all whilst reducing the number of operatives required on site and thus reducing personnel count, welfare requirements and site based health & safety risks.
The implemented off-site manufactured solutions realise the above benefits and our in depth DfMA strategy highlights opportunities
for DfMA and ensures that solutions put forward are right for the project.
Advantages of DfMA
- Predictability in terms of cost and timeline
- Schedule optimisation and compression
- Multiple components constructed simultaneously
- Improved collaboration and efficiency when BIM and VDC is used
- Cloud based model sharing
- RFI distribution and reporting
- Collaborative modelling allowing various users to model in tandem
- Improved safety as job site density is reduced
- Most of the construction moves to a controlled environment
- Cost reductions
- Improved construction quality
- Increased project efficiency
- Enhanced predictability
- Reduced material waste
- Success amid a workforce shortage
