The Forge is the world's first commercial developed to be designed and built using a P-DfMA approach.It is also designed be the UK's first commercial development to be net zero in both construction and operation.. P-DfMA makes this possible.Antonios Kountouriotis.

Our integrated approach to the delivery of M&E services is designed to deliver the best possible results.Using Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) adds value at every stage of the design and build process, by identifying opportunities for standardisation of components and / or processes.It brings the principles, experience and successes of the manufacturing industry to construction – with all the associated benefits in terms of reducing cost and waste, while increasing quality and efficiency.

(Read more about DfMA.M&E systems fit naturally with DfMA.

Many processes and components are already standard.

No-one would think of designing a sprinkler valve from scratch for every project, for example, and the use of pre-fabricated modules in risers for vertical service distribution in buildings is a technique widely in use.https://bit.ly/PDJLecture.
