CIC Webinar on DfMA – Facilitating Offsite Construction through a “Platform Approach”

Webinar | 14.12.2020

Modern Methods of Construction has been promoted in the United Kingdom (UK) in recent years, and the UK construction industry is driving the platform approach to DfMA (the Platform) can unlock the huge potential of DfMA in offsite manufacturing techniques for better quality and productivity. The Platform can facilitate standardisation of assemblies and modules across various types of projects of major project clients, thereby achieving cost effectiveness.

In this webinar, we are privileged to have two DfMA experts from UK, Mr Rory BERKIN from HTA Design LLP and Mr Mark WATKINS from ECS Engineering, to share the successes and pitfalls of such Platform approach and bring insights for clients, designers and contractors in Hong Kong to create a leading industry on construction industrialisation.

 

Webinar's Highlights

  • Key concepts of collaborative design and common interface details in the platform design
  • Standardised offsite MEP solutions that are crucial to project success
  • The real benefits and hurdles of adopting Platform approach in construction

About MiMEP

Multi-trade Integrated Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MiMEP) is the integration of multi-trade building services components, into a single volumetric assembly of prefabricated modules, manufactured off-site in a workshop, then transported to the site for connection of modules to complete various trades of building services installations to minimise on-site works. MiMEP can integrate with structural element, architectural builders’ works and finishes (ABWF) to form an advanced assembly, such as false ceiling unit and plant room unit to enhance the productivity.
