Over the last decade, advances in construction efficiencies have made it easier for offsite and modular approaches to deliver projects. But are current design tools still lagging behind? In his thought-provoking article, Aaron Perry argues that current AEC is still too heavily based on traditional methods of design, construction and delivery. As a result, it is now harder than ever to coordinate design models with a manufacturing level of data and detail, leading to knock-on effects in project delivery. Aaron argues that design tools urgently need to evolve to incorporate Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) approaches.

😊 😊 👍 👍 It has taken awhile but we finally got there! FINEO Vacuum Glazing by AGC Glass Europe now has a #CE mark, making it the #first and #only #vacuumglazing in the world to achieve this accreditation. Construction Products Regulations (UK) Products within scope of these regulations #must undergo an assessment of conformity with the relevant standard or technical assessment. Such products must also be affixed with a UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) or a CE (Conformité Européenne) mark. The #UK government recently announced an extention to the continued acceptance of CE marking. They also committed to a further 2 year transitional period if and when a decision is taken to change or amend current regulations. Drop by our website to learn more about the UK's only fully compliant vacuum glazing 😊 https://lnkd.in/ecSHGvfY #architects #specifiers #buildingregulations #compliance #certification #ultrathinglazing #slimdoubleglazing #glassandglazing #retrofitting #sashwindows #periodhomes #heritage #traditionalbuildings #glazingupgrades #conservation #energyefficiency #singleglazing

4 Overlooked Challenges in Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) How is Dynamic Build Group overcoming these challenges? As MMC continues to transform the construction industry, certain challenges can go unnoticed. Here are four common obstacles—and how we’re tackling them to ensure smoother, more efficient builds. ▶ Skills Shortage - We upskill traditional trades through training in MMC techniques, creating future-ready teams. ▶ Supply Chain Dependencies - Our network of trusted suppliers creates a resilient supply chain, reducing risks. ▶ Design Flexibility - We deliver 2D panelised and 3D modular systems to balance efficiency with bespoke design, working closely with architects to meet client needs. ▶ Navigating Regulations - Our compliance experts stay ahead of MMC regulations, helping avoid delays and streamline approvals. What other challenges do you think MMC faces? Let’s discuss below! 👇 #ModernMethodsofConstruction #DynamicBuildGroup #SustainableBuilding #InnovationInConstruction #MMC #Innovation #EnergyEfficient #Architects #Developers #Manufacturers

In the modular building industry, attention to detail is critical for success. One of the biggest differentiators between projects that succeed and those that face costly delays lies in the detailed design of shop drawings and product-specific content. These form the backbone of accurate manufacturing processes, ensuring that the modular elements fit together seamlessly on-site. Offsite construction has a clear advantage over traditional onsite methods. For example, in a controlled factory environment, quality control (QC) becomes easier and more reliable. Compare that to long and unpredictable onsite builds, where weather and logistical issues often cause delays. A well-managed modular project, with standardized processes and precise designs, can drastically cut down construction time and costs. The key to unlocking these efficiencies is investing in DFMA (Design for Manufacturing and Assembly). DFMA drives streamlined production, promotes sustainable practices, and improves the overall speed and quality of construction. Standardized, efficient technology development is the future of building. Rebel Concept is delivering DFMA solutions worldwide. www.rebeldfma.com The future is modular—and it’s all about working smarter, not harder. #ModularConstruction #OffsiteBuilding #DFMA #InnovationInConstruction #QualityControl #ShopDrawings #BuildingTheFuture

"Struggling to meet high-performance demands in construction? Learn how DIN EN 15651-1 to -4 can elevate your sealant game and ensure top-notch results every time! 🛠️🔝" DIN EN 15651-1 to -4: Elevating Construction Sealants to New Heights 🏗️ Creating a top-tier sealant today is an engineering marvel. These materials must withstand harsh weather, ensure lasting adhesion, and boost energy efficiency, all while meeting strict regulatory standards and embracing eco-friendly innovation. 🧩 The DIN EN 15651-1 to -4 standard is a cornerstone in construction, ensuring sealants' performance and safety. These essential materials seal joints, protecting structures from water, air, and other environmental intrusions. This standard is divided into four parts, each targeting specific applications: 1. **Façade Sealants (Part 1):** Withstand extreme weather and UV exposure. 2. **Glazing Sealants (Part 2):** Ensure adhesion and flexibility with glass. 3. **Sanitary Sealants (Part 3):** Resist mold and mildew in moist environments. 4. **Pedestrian Walkway Sealants (Part 4):** Endure heavy foot traffic and temperature variations. Compliance with DIN EN 15651-1 to -4 means sealants are rigorously tested for tensile properties, adhesion, elasticity, and durability. This ensures the structural integrity and longevity of buildings. 🛠️ Moreover, this standard drives innovation, pushing manufacturers to develop advanced, sustainable sealants. This aligns perfectly with the trend towards green building practices. 🌱 In essence, DIN EN 15651-1 to -4 guarantees excellence in modern construction. By ensuring sealants meet high-performance criteria, it significantly enhances building quality and sustainability. For industry professionals, staying updated with this standard is key to delivering projects that endure. 🏢🔧 Embrace DIN EN 15651-1 to -4 and lead your projects to a future where they stand strong and resilient. 🚀 #DINEN15651 #ConstructionStandards #Sealants #BuildingQuality #SustainableConstruction #echd #consulting
