They’ve lost the car industry.

Execution Class 2 requires welds to be completed to ±0.4mm on steel and ±0.0 on aluminium.Certification is for the full factory control procedure including procurement, processing, fabrication, storage, Q&A and delivery with documentation at every stage.

Accuracy in pre engineered interfaces.The level of the bespoke design in traditional projects makes it difficult to properly design every interface, leading to variability between interfaces on-site and the need for ad hoc changes.However, trades at different points in the process don’t necessarily have access to the early decision-making rationale, so there can be unanticipated consequences of these forced ad hoc changes.. For example, façade installers have reported that they spent 40% of their time undertaking site surveys and using shims and packers to fill in the gaps between their manufactured unitised systems and traditionally built superstructures.

This example is particularly pertinent given the crucial role façades play in fire stopping and compartmentation..If the BSA onus is on ensuring the design doesn’t change from specification to delivery, then the exactness of the design and the tolerances is crucial..

The higher degree of accuracy and innovation in platform components ensures that what was designed and modelled is much more likely to be what is installed on site, with no need for site based problem-solving/adaptions vs. what has been designed and tested..

Platform components create superstructures, which, while a relatively small proportion of the cost, are critical in maximising the accuracy of the installation.The contractor’s role becomes more profitable and sophisticated – what we refer to as a manufacturing assembly manager.

We believe that going forward this role will put more effort into controlling logistics, supply chain etc… In fact, roles throughout the supply chain will change, becoming more efficient and more focused on driving value.. Meeting the needs of our clients.Over the years, we’ve come to recognise a wide variety of client drivers, including cost, time, net present value, capital and funding decisions.

For some clients, accuracy in delivery is the most important thing.For others, such as the UK’s busiest airport, Heathrow, the biggest benefit arises from having the fewest number of people on site and the fastest possible delivery.
