🏗️💡 Exciting News in Construction Technology: Offsite Manufacturing Revolutionizing MEP Systems! 💡🏗️ I'm thrilled to share insights into a game-changing approach reshaping the construction industry: Offsite Manufacturing for Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) systems. 🌟 Traditionally, MEP installation has been a time-consuming and labor-intensive process, prone to delays and logistical challenges. However, the adoption of offsite manufacturing techniques is revolutionizing how MEP systems are designed, fabricated, and installed. Here's why it's making waves: 🚀 Increased Efficiency: Offsite manufacturing allows for simultaneous fabrication and construction activities, slashing project timelines and accelerating delivery. 🛠️ Improved Quality: Fabricating MEP components in a controlled factory environment ensures precision, consistency, and reliability, leading to higher-quality installations. 💰 Cost Savings: By reducing onsite labor requirements, minimizing material waste, and optimizing project scheduling, offsite manufacturing delivers significant cost savings over traditional methods. 🌱 Enhanced Sustainability: Offsite manufacturing promotes sustainable construction practices by minimizing environmental impact, optimizing material usage, and reducing construction waste. 🔧 Streamlined Installation: With pre-fabricated MEP components ready for onsite installation, construction teams benefit from smoother workflows, fewer disruptions, and enhanced safety. As the construction industry continues to evolve, embracing innovative technologies like offsite manufacturing for MEP systems is essential for staying competitive, delivering projects on time and budget, and meeting the demands of modern construction projects. 💼 Let's embrace this exciting trend together and revolutionize the way we build for a brighter, more efficient future! 💪 https://lnkd.in/dAQ9rTvi #ConstructionTechnology #OffsiteManufacturing #MEPSystems #Innovation #Sustainability #Efficiency #BuildingBetterTogether 🏗️💡

Has MMC gone from an industry salvation to a pseudo solution? A 'challenging' article from one of the industry’s leaders... Richard Steer – Chairman of Gleeds. https://lnkd.in/eMbNhdfC All starts well enough with the recognition that Nightingale medical facilities built quickly, efficiently and effectively offsite. Much of this was made possible because of the use of modern methods of construction (MMC) and modular construction techniques. However, without pause for breath MMC is then linked ‘only’ to failure in the housing market. A market ravished by product inflation, interest rates, pandemic, planning and so many issues that failure of one tiny segment of the built environment industry. Do I disagree with Richards comments specifically on 'housing', probable not. I probably agree with 99%. However, failure to recognise that great strides in MMC are being made in the commercial and industrial sectors is in my view unforgivable. Further I'm concerned that industrialised construction, digitisation, pre assembly, componentisation, standardisation, productivity improvements all under the heading of MMC is seen as equally 'faddy' by Gleeds as a whole. Evidence: DfE, MOJ, DIO, NHP, National Highways, Environment Agency all have programmes or are all moving towards MMC and greater standardisation. The Infrastructure Projects Authority recently published their latest pipeline report (last published Sept 2021). It highlights that there is MASSIVE opportunity in MMC in its many forms - £64bn worth Do I agree with Richard that MMC is a “pseudo solution from disinterested and ill-informed ministers” Sorry, no I don’t. But, everyone is entitled to their own view. (All views my own)

Really enjoyable and insightful presentation from Morag Stuart of the New Hospital Programme. The H2.0 model aims to standardise from the early conceptual modularisation of schemes, through the approval and detailed design process, into procurement and manufacture right through to the shipping, installation and commissioning of the modules on site. https://lnkd.in/eaz3TtCK #designmanagement #projectcontrols #mmc Flow

In a clip excerpted from Episode 1 of "Hospital Benchmarking: A Unique Approach," James H Krause, an architect with over 30 years of experience in healthcare-related projects, shares his insights on facility maintenance with the @HealthcareFacilitiesNetwork. James emphasizes the significance of understanding the tasks performed by maintenance technicians and the actual percentage of their time spent on maintenance and work order activities. He also sheds light on how roof square footage plays a crucial role in accurate maintenance-work calculations. https://lnkd.in/eRgX3a6h #healthcareindustry #facilitymanagement #benchmarking American Society for Health Care Engineering (ASHE)

Russell Templin and Sam O'Connor with JE Dunn Construction took the stage at HealthSpaces to focus on a critical question: When is prefab or modular right for your project? Key takeaway: Success lies in examination. You must thoroughly assess each healthcare project and 'right-size' your approach.

Don't know where to start on your new construction project? Are you overwhelmed by the amount of work on your plate? Are you worried you'll miss something? New healthcare builds can be daunting, especially if you lack the necessary experience. Here are some helpful guidelines to keep in mind when navigating healthcare construction: https://lnkd.in/giiKz2xj #NewConstruction #UMFMedical #MovingCareForward
