Sully doesn’t believe there will be any person, from any industry, political party, or part of the government, who will object to having better quality buildings delivered at lower costs, and providing better overall value.

For example, with the Platform to superstructure, we have a series of standard connection brackets, which link the beams and columns.The same brackets are used consistently and they are colour-coded.

This makes it easy to teach people how to do the assembly and they become very quick at doing it.However, the beams and columns can be any length.Spans can be specific to particular clients, but to the operative on site, it's the same yellow bracket, requiring the same torque wrench and two bolts.

Platforms enable us to get down to a much more granular level and simultaneously open the door for continual improvement and variability going forward with respect to supply chain choices, material choices and so on.. Maximising value with construction platforms.Because platform construction uses a limited number of components, it gives us a greater amount of control.

We’re able to limit the number of processes and operations which have to happen on site and we can control materials much more accurately.

There are also considerable time-saving benefits with P-DfMA, which enable us to spend more time on the design and optimisation of components in the first place.However, one of the most transformative is a process called Chip Thinking®️, which arose from a desire to link different data sets when modelling.

Normally, a project’s data is segmented by department: finance, engineering, logistics...The people working in these areas, and even the people who understand the project as a whole, are separated from each other.

Chip Thinking®️ brings everyone together.It looks at a process from end to end, whether that be a manufacturing process, or a people-driven process, like a hospital.
