Following this, he advanced to study for a Level 3 BTEC in Engineering.

The Hub is working to bring manufacturing expertise to construction.As a result, we’re now starting to see concepts like Advanced Production Quality Planning (APQP) coming into the industry.

This framework is how manufacturing ensures the consistency of products, and it’s also how they track their progress.So, where will this end up?Ultimately, we believe you will be able to get a price instantly from a vast, distributed network of small suppliers, as you develop your construction Platform model.

These suppliers will also be publishing details of their pipelines and capabilities, enabling you to plan your project precisely.Moreover, as all of these standardised components will be inexpensive, we don’t believe we’ll be costing solely on pure, capital costs.

There will also be a focus on other factors: the carbon footprint of the individual manufacturer, what they spend on R&D, staff welfare, and so on.

Consequently, we will be looking for added value from our manufacturers, and this will change how we think about the procurement process going forwards..Lamont recalls an incident whereby a local council reported a noise complaint early in the morning, thought to be caused by the construction site operating outside of consented hours.

Using triangulated sensor data, the site manager was able to definitively establish that his site was not responsible for the noise, and was further able to offer insight into the actual cause.Moreover, he was also quickly and easily able to provide a report of the problem..

In this particular instance, we see technology reducing stress for a busy site manager, who didn’t have to waste time investigating the issue further.Here, construction technology enabled people to quickly and easily return to work.
