SUMMARY:Driving Productivity Through Industrialisation
DESCRIPTION:The narrative around MMC is changing. There are increasing calls for government to embrace the principles of ‘industrialisation’ as a means to unlocking productivity in the construction sector. The proposed shift in narrative recognises that our long-held interest in the adoption of manufacturing processes and technologies as a means to higher productivity requires a fundamental change in our traditional project delivery model. \nWhere the traditional construction delivery model promotes constant reinvention in what we deliver and how we deliver it\, Industrialised Construction approaches are focused on driving standardisation\, repeatability and continuous improvement in systems\, processes and relationships across suitable programmes and portfolios of work. Through these approaches\, we can create the conditions for manufacturing supply chains to thrive\, and embrace more productive approaches to design\, logistics\, assembly and beyond. \nOn Thursday 25th April\, the CE Offsite Group will join Ron Lang\, Regional Director at AtkinsRealis\, in a debate on why we should shift our focus towards industrialisation if we are to create a modern industry that embraces technological development\, that attracts and retains the best talent and that efficiently delivers high quality outputs that meet the needs of society.\nWhy not come along and share your thoughts?

DESCRIPTION:RetroNetZero Innovator Workshop for building fabric-based products/ processes: your opportunity to voice potential solutions\nThe RetroNetZero network is intended to help overcome regulatory science-related challenges to facilitate the adoption of innovation in domestic retrofit. \nAcknowledging that the fundamental intentions of legislation should be respected and maintained (e.g. Building Safety Act\, etc)\, the aim of the network will be to identify and propose solutions to existing challenges faced by retrofit product innovators\, or\, at the very least\, identify the research or data needed to allow the regulatory landscape to safely adapt to facilitate the use of innovative products\, systems and approaches in the medium to long term. \nWe are keen to hear from innovators with a building fabric focus (or associated stakeholders\, such as specifiers) who can reflect on their own experiences and thoughts to suggest solutions to common challenges of mainstreaming the use of innovative technologies and approaches for retrofit.\n(Note that building services solutions will be explored in a separate workshop.) \nIt is intended that this insight will help the RetroNetZero team shape our proposals for the operation of the regulatory science network which we hope you will follow and join us. \nTake a look at the project overview to find out more.
