Today was the class by A.J.
Overall DfMA today meant that the end product was an increase in productivity in which the way to address it was through reducing waste. In fact for every $1 spent on a building, 50 cents go into waste. So this meant that when it came to value engineering, there were 2 solutions of cutting cost, one by reducing the quality of materials, and the others by reducing wastage.
what differentiated todays class was an introduction in DfMA but from a consultant point of view whereas the last one was more from a regulatory angle. The take away was really from a global worldview which emphasises that this approach of construction is not new but in fact has been around for a long time. This was followed by primitive examples of the first cast iron bridge in london prefabricated on site with 1700 components to prefab houses immediately post war to even that of the Empire State Building which had prebox materials for each floor; flooring, panelling and more.
Today's lecturer, Mr. J also highlighted that our contributions starting from the raw materials into the finished product is, in the assembly.
went for a health checkup as well today at Farrer Park Hospital.
