A 1-hour Lunch ‘n’ Learn sharing the M&E subcontractor perspective on building The Forge, the UK’s first net zero carbon commercial building, designed and delivered using the Construction Innovation Hub’s Platform approach. This Lunch 'n' Learn will be delivered virtually online.

What is this session about?

The Forge is a pioneering project for many reasons including the ‘kit of parts’ approach, build speed and sustainability credentials. In this session we will hear from Mark Griffin, Offsite Integration Manager at NG Bailey, on the process and benefits of the Platform approach and explore some of the challenges faced from a subcontractor perspective.

What will I achieve?

This session will help you to:

  • Learn about the productivity, programme and sustainability benefits of the Platform approach
  • Understand the process and logistics behind a platform design for manufacture and assembly approach
  • Gain case study knowledge to help demonstrate the benefits of MMC
  • Apply learning from the challenges faced to your own projects

What level is the session and do I need any particular skills?

This intermediate session is suitable for anyone who has an interest in the possibilities of DfMA and the Platform approach, particularly clients, manufacturers, contractors and project managers.

What can I expect from a Lunch ‘n’ Learn?
