Yet this building has been reborn as.

Rather, our aim is to allow a level of flexibility in the components to resolve the tension between the need for optimisation and variability – what the market wants, or clients need.For example, with the Platform to superstructure, we have a series of standard connection brackets, which link the beams and columns.

The same brackets are used consistently and they are colour-coded.This makes it easy to teach people how to do the assembly and they become very quick at doing it.However, the beams and columns can be any length.

Spans can be specific to particular clients, but to the operative on site, it's the same yellow bracket, requiring the same torque wrench and two bolts.Platforms enable us to get down to a much more granular level and simultaneously open the door for continual improvement and variability going forward with respect to supply chain choices, material choices and so on.. Maximising value with construction platforms.

Because platform construction uses a limited number of components, it gives us a greater amount of control.

We’re able to limit the number of processes and operations which have to happen on site and we can control materials much more accurately.For a pharmaceutical plant, it might mean we need a specialist in oral solid dose manufacturing, a quality representative and a health and safety specialist.. Based on this initial representation, we can start gathering the knowledge and data that is essential for developing a solution.

We use this input to create a comprehensive and holistic model of the problem and the outline solution.We call this process Chip Thinking®️.

It allows us to generate outputs about its performance under different conditions..This is a powerful picture that allows all stakeholders to understand the problem and come up with creative ideas in a structured way that take into account what others know, while focusing on aspects that matter to achieve a successful solution.
