Lendlease distinguishes itself by integrating investment, development, and construction within its business model.

Standardisation makes future maintenance easier.Where clients want the variability and flexibility is in the massing of the building, the articulation of the material choice and facade design.. We worked very hard with clients in the early stages to make sure that the construction Platforms we developed have enough variability in the areas which will facilitate maximum benefit.

We want to have a Design to Value process which achieves exactly what is desired..Tier 1 and the supply chain.Another benefit we see from DfMA construction is the evolution of a more direct relationship between the customer and their supply chain partners, cutting down on transactional costs and eliminating a lot of inefficiency.

The contractor’s role becomes more profitable and sophisticated – what we refer to as a manufacturing assembly manager.We believe that going forward this role will put more effort into controlling logistics, supply chain etc… In fact, roles throughout the supply chain will change, becoming more efficient and more focused on driving value.. Meeting the needs of our clients.

Over the years, we’ve come to recognise a wide variety of client drivers, including cost, time, net present value, capital and funding decisions.

For some clients, accuracy in delivery is the most important thing.This will, in turn, allow them to create refined, client-specific designs which are every bit as aesthetically pleasing and unique as buildings designed by traditional methods.

We also believe there will be a shift in where we think creativity is best placed within the architectural process.Our Creative Technologies team - the vast majority of whom are architects - know that developing the algorithm and computational design is as much a part of the creative design process as sketching something.. M for Manufacture in DfMA: The move to a manufacturing mindset.

We have already seen our PRiSM to Platforms digital workflow deliver tremendous improvements to the procurement and payment process.As soon as we have a design we like, we can instantly generate a data model.
