Design to Value: Shaping a Better Built Environment | Martin Wood

The good news is that there is already some strategic collaboration happening in these areas.. As many new medicines are developed by start-ups, if we can ensure good guidance and information then we can get things right from the start.

Detailed design outputs for manufacturing can be produced automatically.The review and approval process is simplified dramatically.

Safety related and non-safety related systems are separated and simplified.The amount of information to be reviewed is significantly reduced.Standardised solutions mean that detail is available early and can be pre-approved.

The variation of the design and interfaces are standardised and controlled: only the differences need to be reviewed.Rich data representation can provide regulatory reviewers with relevant information in the appropriate format at each stage of the process.

Data-rich models can generate automatic reports to demonstrate design compliance.. Simplified systems and processes enable simplified interactions.

The Platform Engineering (P-DfMA) Solution described above and the simplification of processes resulting from this design, enable much simpler and standardised interactions between customers and producers and between the various producers that make up the supply chain to deliver these buildings.This means that contractors need to get on board as well.

Ultimately, we’ll have to collate the data together as an industry, but benchmarks will help us learn, and guide us at the design stage..Creating a sustainable future — alignment of standards and guidance.

One of the key challenges we need to address in our quest for a sustainable future, is to align the various forms of guidance and advice coming into the industry from different sources.There are currently a number of different institutions involved, all representing different parties within the built environment.
