The discussion highlights the increasing global energy demand, particularly from developing countries, and the challenges associated with meeting these needs while reducing emissions.

On The Forge, the tolerance was reduced to.5mm over a 9m bay..

This accuracy also unlocks existing, but underutilised capabilities in the supply chain, encouraging optimisation of their products too.In fact, a range of complementary elements have already been developed and delivered on The Forge..Developing the façade solution around the structural platform at an early stage, allowed us to really optimise the use of materials and detailing and create the most efficient units for handling in the factory and on-site.. Wojciech Brozyna, Managing Director, Alupro.

Accuracy in installation is achieved via factory conditions on site:.Standardised platforms and components.

Increased use of standardised, repeatable, design and components inherently lead to less variance and more standardised tasks on site, which already reduces the risk of the need for changes and thus the potential to deviate from the original design..

The greater use of consistent, digital workflows through design, procurement and manufacturing will extend into of logistics and labour; predicting operative numbers, positioning them on site and schedule their training and workload.But over a number of decades, the process of delivering built assets has become fragmented.

Responsibility, risk and reward are increasingly split among an array of organisations whose interests are not aligned, and whose view of a project is unhelpfully narrow.. As a result, value is diluted at every stage and clients end up with built assets that are simply not as good as they should be..There is a better way, and that is to Design to Value (DtV).. Design to Value.

Adopting a Design to Value approach means understanding that the most efficient route to the most efficient solution is first to make sure you analyse and understand the commercial opportunity (or requirement) from every angle.Metrics such as capital cost and return on investment, for example, don’t define how well an asset functions in the world.
