Industrialized Construction for the Built Environment Lifecycle
The convergence of construction and manufacturing known as industrialized construction operates on the premise of faster project delivery, less physical waste, and better use of resources. The potential of industrialized construction will transform the way projects are designed, built, and operated. In this course, you explore the megatrends shaping industrialized construction as well as the business model transformations needed to move make and operate into the design phase to support design for manufacturing and assembly (DfMA), therefore shifting from a project-centric mindset to a product-centric mindset for construction for the built environment.

Introduction to Industrialized Construction
Get introduced to the definition and mega trends encompassing Industrialized Construction for the built environment lifecycle. In addition, Design-Build-Operate frameworks are introduced along with connections to advanced manufacturing principles and emerging trends and technologies promoted by Industry 4.0 and Construction 4.0.
-
Productization, DfMA, and Sustainability
Explore the concept of productization, design for manufacture and assembly (DfMA) and DATA for manufacture and assembly with emphasis on linkage of these concepts with other elements of the House of Industrialized Construction (IC). Learn the benefits of productization and DfMA holistically in the context of sustainability and circularity in Industrialized Construction.
