The process deserves both our commitment and excitement.. Driving innovation through Transforming Construction Network Plus (N+).

This is a link which rarely exists in construction, where there are typically numerous tiers between the client and manufacturers, introducing enormous economic ‘friction’ and transactional cost.Manufacturers are pre-qualified to relevant standards (such as ISO 9001, but also to specialist medical, aerospace and defence standards including ISO 13485, AS 9100, NADCAP and ITAR).

This would overcome concerns regarding the perceived risk of standardised components and product recall.In a Platform marketplace, manufacturers would have to demonstrate their CQP process, ensuring performance of components meets the precise brief established by the ‘spatial analysis’ work.It allows for both simple, standard elements but also prototypes and more complex designs.

While the initial purpose of a digital marketplace for construction Platforms would be to propagate the use of standard components, it would certainly be useful to be able to make ‘specials’ to extend the functionality of the standard kit..Brick Link Studio.

Lego® is an interesting ‘Platforms’ case study in itself and a great example of how standard components do not limit individuality of design.

There are also multiple manufacturers of the components.We have to stop this nonsense that we're going to somehow change the world with one project.”.

The people in leadership positions, whose jobs aren’t vulnerable, they’re the ones who need to move this forward.“You've got to think about the long game,” Marks says, “and whether or not you're going to exist on this planet.”.

She’s also aware that there’s a monetary opportunity here, on top of the current $14 trillion industry ecosystem.The projection is that the industry will make a 45% shift to industrialised construction.
