METHODOLOGY

Traditional Design Bid-Build often results in construction deliverables that lack build consistency, as various contractors manage means and methods, resulting in finish and quality inconsistencies from box to box. At a time when our industry is facing a skills shortage, taking the build off site to a factory-controlled environment reduces the levels of resources required and removes the dependency on traditional construction skills.

MMA identified this opportunity early on and devised an improved construction methodology focusing on IPD utilizing DfMA and modular panels. Design solutions “assembled” on-site rather than “constructed” on-site offers the prospect of using fewer people in a more controlled and safer environment.

Integrated Project Delivery System (IPD)

IPD is a construction project delivery method that combines ideas from integrated practice and lean construction processes. It seeks efficiency and involvement from all participants (people, systems, business structures and practices) through all phases of design, fabrication, and construction. IPD reduces CAPEX complexity by simplifying key processes with a unified project execution approach, allowing the client to better manage CAPEX risk.
