Sustainability and innovation.

Construction isn’t seen as an attractive option by the next generation, who would prefer to work in tech.Their idea of construction involves standing in muddy boots, trying to build things in the rain.

It’s vital that we change that perception, because this young generation of gamers already have many of the skills we now need in the industry.They’ve grown up playing games like Minecraft and they’re used to working collaboratively in a 3D environment, designing with a standardised set of components.We tested our school design app SEISMIC on a group of nine-year-old children in London.

We were astonished at how easily and intuitively they were able to use it.. It’s vital that we change the perception of the construction industry and focus on attracting young talent into it.We must make it clear that construction is an exciting, vital industry - one where these young people can put their existing skills to use in an enjoyable and rewarding way.

But most of all, we must collectively rise to our own potential.

We must embrace modern methods of construction, including P-DfMA, to move ourselves safely and efficiently into the next stage of the modern world.. To learn more about P-DfMA and Modern Methods of Construction, listen to Episode 1 of our podcast, Built Environment Matters: Platform Construction & Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA).is an easy to use digital workflow that connects industry standard design software to robotic technology tools, using custom apps to provide:.

XR environments for design and process interaction.A library of manufacturing blocks as defined elements of process (which we call CHIPs).

Real time data exchange between simulated systems across multiple devices.Data visualisations and analytics for manufacturing optimisation.
