Design implications of a Platform-based Design for Manufacture and Assembly (PDfMA) approach to construction in housebuilding

英国建筑业正在拥抱技术和知识，以利用工业化建筑的好处，这符合英国政府的政策(即英国工业战略、建筑2025和转型建筑挑战)。这项研究集中在住房，那里的供应短缺和不断增加的人口是有问题的，以及基于平台的制造和组装设计(P-DFMA)还处于初级阶段。它将提出关于P-DFMA潜力的新的综合证据，并提供有助于吸收的产出。重点是建筑技术与商业模式的关系，目的是调查和评估P-DFMA方法的成本效率、定制程度和可用性。研究将：*调查英国住房部门的P-DFMA概念(例如大规模定制)。*使用不同的P-DFMA方法评估选定的项目。*利用工程/CS技术来确定评估相关指标和基准协议的新方法。*利用工程咨询公司、制造商和其他利益相关者的证据，开发实施住房P-DFMA方法的商业模式。*开发和测试住房的概念验证开源P-DFMA模型。

The UK construction sector is embracing technologies and knowledge to leverage the benefits of industrialised construction, in line with UK government policy (i.e. the UK Industrial Strategy, Construction 2025, and the Transforming Construction Challenge). This research focuses on housing, where supply shortage and increasing population are problematic, and where Platform based Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA) is in its infancy. It will present new,aggregated evidence on P-DfMA's potential and deliver outputs to facilitate uptake. Focusing on the relationship of building technologies with business models, the aim is to investigate and evaluate the cost efficiency, degree of customisation and usability of P-DfMA approaches. The research will:* Investigate P-DfMA concepts (e.g. mass customisation) in the UK housing sector.* Evaluate selected projects using varied approaches to P-DfMA.* Utilise Engineering/CS know-how to identify new methods for evaluating relevant metrics and benchmarking protocols.* Develop business models for implementing a housing P-DfMA approach, using evidence from engineering consultancies, manufacturers and other stakeholders.* Develop and test a proof-of-concept open source P-DfMA model for housing.
