Dive into our exploration of five key principles for DfMA startups to scale: economics, ecosystems, design-manufacturing alignment, automation, and execution. Learn from the past, and shape the future of DfMA.
DfMA: Why Manufacturing Is the Key to Viability — Blog 3: Katerra and Lessons Learned
The rise and fall of Katerra, which burned through more than $2 billion in just six years, is the most discussed story related to DfMA in decades.
DfMA: Why Manufacturing Is the Key to Viability — Blog 2: Why DfMA?
Design for manufacturing and assembly (DfMA) is a revolutionary approach to construction that is poised to reshape the economics of the global construction industry in the coming years.
DfMA: Why Manufacturing Is the Key to Viability – Blog 1: Introduction to DfMA and Its Core Principles
What would you say is the difference between manufacturing and construction? There are many ways to approach this question, but the simplest distinction is where the labor is performed. Manufacturing labor is performed in a factory, while construction labor is typically performed outdoors, in the elements. There are benefits, drawbacks, and limitations to each, and they are both essential for every construction project.
The Facts About Off-site Construction — Blog 5: Cross-laminated Timber
CLT construction expands upon many of the benefits of off-site construction in general, such as reduced waste, higher levels of quality control, and accelerated building timelines. This approach also offers several unique benefits.
