The standardisation process reduces the number of construction elements which in turn dramatically reduces the number of elements and potential thermal bridges, making the design simpler and more cost-effective.The repeated use of the same details significantly reduces the design cost and complexity, and facilitates the achievement of Passivhaus’ thermally bridge free design ethos..

Being able to deliver Passivhaus detailing onsite requires complex coordination, overlap of materials and components and accuracy in order to achieve the specified final performance and certification.A P-DfMA approach ensures the highest quality, working with reduced tolerances which align with Passivhaus requirements..Reduced capital cost:.

The standardisation process reduces the volume of materials and the number of construction elements which in turn reduces the capital cost of the project.The repetition of components at a large scale can reduce the cost of standardised elements.. A Platforms digital workflow delivers tremendous improvements to the procurement process.

Having all data centralised in a BIM model provides instant access to both the cost and availability of a project’s components, and creates a more direct relationship with the supply chain cutting down transaction costs..

Reduced programme:.Central to Design to Value is the creation of blended, collaborative teams.

And key to their success is that everyone on these teams, no matter how big or small their role, has a fundamental understanding of and input into the aims and vision of the project.. Of course, emerging from more specialised disciplines means that it can take some time for people to feel comfortable collaborating on a deep level.In a good Design to Value system, everybody’s contribution is valuable, no matter what their role.

Leadership and facilitation here are key.In Design to Value, all elements of the project stay in play.
