Abstract
"**Automated Construction Project -- 105 Sumner St, Southwark, London**
The project will aim to validate and showcase the benefits that can be delivered using Platform Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA) techniques, Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and digital technologies on a large-scale new build commercial office development.
It will use a hybrid steel and concrete structural platform that was developed as part of an Innovate UK First Phase Challenge Fund research project on Automated Construction. The structural platform developed as part of the R&D project will provide the chassis for the office floor space and the project will include the development of cladding and building services components to create a reusable 'kit of parts' based solution for offices.
The objective is to showcase the development as an innovation led demonstrator project to deliver buildings 'Faster, Better and Cheaper' adopting manufacturing-based techniques and processes.
The project team features industry leading organisations including; Landsec, Bryden Wood, Piercy and Company, Gardiner & Theobald, Mace and Sir Robert McAlpine. The scale and ambition of the project will be a catalyst for change and we hope a major step forward in proving the new business and financial metrics, whole life performance, and supply chain adoption needed to accelerate the transformation of the construction sector.
We believe this will be the first building of its kind to be designed and constructed on this basis.
