DfMA combines off-site manufacture with on-site assembly, using precision in pre-fabrication to drive on-site efficiency in both installation and operation.
Using a standardised capacity model to rapidly translate scientific, technological, and commercial requirements (e.g.test types, technology options, demand scenarios) into an equipment list..
Using a design configurator to rapidly translate this equipment list, a library of equipment and building components, and codified design rules (e.g.building regulations, safety, and quality standards) into a coordinated and compliant multidisciplinary facility design..Using an execution model to rapidly translate this lab design, historic project data, and other inputs, into a cost and programme estimate, as well as other useful business metrics.. Fast Lab allows teams to complete all these steps in a single workshop, with numerous design iterations, scenarios, and improvements taking place in real time.
This makes it possible to start permitting, procurement, and construction activities in a matter of weeks, rather than months, and opens the door to warp-speed lab deployment.. Fast Lab combines our experience in multidisciplinary lab design, capacity modelling, asset optimisation, automated design tools, and the creation of fast, scalable solutions to the world’s biggest construction challenges.It is aimed at life science businesses and developers including:.
Larger businesses looking to design and construct their own labs..
Smaller businesses trying to identify the best premises to buy or lease..Design and project management processes differ per project, standardisation of such a number of differing variables is almost impossible.
Platforms solution.P-DfMA distils down the variables considerably, providing a smaller number of solutions and components to share across industry, enabling the standardisation of both design and project management processes.
Harmonised cross sector requirements unlock the standardisation required to consolidate technical requirements.P-DfMA is a rationalised approach to design and construction.
