DfMA(D): Design for Manufacture and Assembly / Disassembly.
“By adopting Design for Manufacture and Assembly early, we deliver smarter, safer, and more efficient builds. Close collaboration allows us to reduce waste, minimise risk, and ensure consistent quality from design through to delivery.”
Adopting a Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) approach leads to improved efficiency, cost savings, and higher-quality outcomes for our clients. By integrating DfMA principles early in the design phase, we ensure that components are standardised, prefabricated, and optimised for seamless on-site assembly. A collaborative approach between designers, contractors, and client representatives is essential to maximising the benefits of DfMA. Early engagement allows the project team to streamline construction methods, reduce waste, and enhance safety by shifting complex work to controlled factory environments. With a well-planned DfMA strategy, design, scheduling, commercial, and operational goals can be achieved more effectively. This enables the construction phase to focus on its core priorities— safety, quality, and productivity—while reducing risks and improving overall project performance.
