‘Volumetric’ seems to be the first and most obvious starting point, but we believe there is a need for a wider and more sophisticated ecosystem of DfMA.
Our Design to Value approach to master planning is an example of that.. Our Creative Technologies team has produced a number of digital configurators, including master planning tools for railways, roads and data centres.These configurators rely on comprehensive data sets, organised in such a way as to be codified and machine-readable.
The master planning approach described in this article can be seen as the data-gathering and organising part of digital master planning – the preparatory work which could lead, in this case, to a digital configurator for pharmaceutical facilities..While the data we gather in master planning involves large amounts of human activity and processes, the outputs are all digital to some degree, and the entire process is digital in character, seeking to extract and organise data, so that at a later stage we can establish and apply rigorous rules.This is where Design to Value intersects with digital.. For master planning, this is an approach that is proven to deliver substantial benefit to clients, against a wide range of value drivers.
The collaborative element is essential.The distance travelled across a project is always impressive, and the destination is rarely what the client imagined it would be at the outset – but it is always better..

Illumina is a high-tech company, based in the USA but with a very large UK presence.The people in leadership positions, whose jobs aren’t vulnerable, they’re the ones who need to move this forward.
“You've got to think about the long game,” Marks says, “and whether or not you're going to exist on this planet.”.She’s also aware that there’s a monetary opportunity here, on top of the current $14 trillion industry ecosystem.
The projection is that the industry will make a 45% shift to industrialised construction.Companies that do this well will increase their value, but changes will be necessary.
