5 Industrialized Construction - An innovative approach to Construction

6 Characteristics of construction All building projects are unique All project teams are unique All projects are built with unique technical solutions Our industry build prototypes every time! The products are complex The building process is fragmented, many actors and many interfaces Profitability is low We have quality problems Etc Etc

7 Effective production environment?

8 High performing production facility?

9 Good conditions for high quality?

10 Sustainable construction?

11 Good working conditions?

12 Potential for innovation!?

13 One solution is to industrialize construction New methods and new technology are being developed Processes for stable and predictable outcome are established Interesting examples are developed in Sweden, Japan, UK, U.S

14 - But what is industrialized construction?

15 What is it about? Adopting principles for effective design production apply these on construction Leading paradigms; Lean Production, Agile Production, Supply Chain Management focus on customer value, minimizing waste, flexible manufacturing, and efficiency through the whole supply chain Inspiration! Modularization and Automation are important parts Principles and methods are applied on construction today, to achieve higher efficiency, higher quality, lower costs and increased sustainability

16 Advanced IT tools Standardized technology Automation Building systems Prefabrication Standardized processes Factory production Materials handling Assembly

17 Historical view of the concept Focus on Prefabrication and Technology Prefabrication of building parts, applied on large scale housing projects Dominating production paradigm: Mass production! Scarce customer focus!

18 Today s view of the concept Customer oriented Utilizing modern Information Technology Increased focus on the holistic process, not only the specific building project Buildings are treated as customized products in a continuous process

19 Industrialized construction 1. Planning and control of the process 2. Developed technical systems 3. Prefabrication 4. Long-term relations 5. Logistics integrated in the building process 6. Customer and market focus 7. Use of ICT 8. Systematic re-use of experience and measurements

20 Industrialized construction 1. Planning and control of the process 2. Developed technical systems 3. Prefabrication 4. Long-term relations 5. Logistics integrated in the building process 6. Customer and market focus 7. Use of ICT 8. Systematic re-use of experience and measurements

21 A tool for strategic analysis of the whole production system A good fit between the parts is required -In order to deliver what the customers want

22 Process and project Development of Technology Platform Integration Development of Process platform Design Planning Manufacture Assembly Site work Ground works Specific building project Lessing (2006)

23 Development of Technology Platform Development of Process platform Project x1 Project x2 Project y1 Project y2 Building projects are part of a continuous process

24 Industrialized house building in Sweden Sweden is one of the leading industries globally in terms of maturity and adoption of industrialized house building concepts Single-family houses follow a long industrial trend and 80 % are built with industrial methods, using wood frame technology (since 1930s)

25 Single-family houses A large number of small and mediumsized companies offer a wide variety of houses From low-cost to high-end From standardized to custom-built 100 companies, 5000 employees Produce approx houses annually Largest companies build 800 houses annually

26 Single-family houses companies dominate the market Produced as flat elements or volume elements Focus only on domestic market Potential for export

27 Multi-family houses In the last decade, great efforts in developing and bringing to market new industrialized concepts for multi-family houses Industrialized concepts for residential buildings have increased from close to 0% to about 15% in 10 years Wood based structures dominate

28 Multi-family houses All major construction companies have developed concepts within this field Sweden is a small market; apartments and houses/year Approx 10 companies active in this development Development cost and volume must be in balance Some initiatives went out of market

29 Multi-family houses Companies produce typically apartments annually Developed building systems Extensive prefabrication (panel- or volume-elements) Unique, customized buildings Extensive industry-academia collaboration has reinforced the development

30 IKEA+SKANSKA: BoKlok A product concept developed by IKEA and SKANSKA Aimed at defined customer segment, low, fixed prices (IKEA) Extensive product development and customer knowledge Defined house-types, limited customization Extremely high prefabrication in modules (85%)

31 IKEA+SKANSKA: BoKlok Cost efficient production necessary to keep lowprices Surveys to all customers after 2 years 98% would recommend the concept to a friend Sell apartments at IKEA stores Expanded the market to: Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, UK

32 Trend #1 Platforms for increased internal efficiency Increased effectivity for the contractor/builder Technical solutions structured in platforms Process support: planning methods, BIM, logistics Mainly follow traditional building process Total-concepts offered Product development replace project design Concept owner control the entire process Complete building- and production systems From contracting to product offers New roles and business models Source Hvam et al (2008)

33 Trend #2 More actors involve in IC development Clients reclaim control over the product and show interest in the process Clients develop product platforms and product strategies Engineering consultants develop platforms for efficient design processes (internal efficiency) Partners with IC-companies to develop building systems together (Full-concept)

34 The future Huge potential! We have only just started Customer focus is the key! Cross-industries learning speed up innovation International collaboration distribute knowledge and experience

35 Thanks for listening!

37 ConXtech Overview ConXtech, Inc. is a building technology company offering standardized beam-column connections and a chassis-based, manufactured structural system called ConX. ConX is an innovative modular steel system ideal for high-density residential, commercial, educational, healthcare, military, data center and industrial pipe rack and processing structures. Founded in 2004 in Silicon Valley Over 7 million sf built to date Cradle to Cradle Certified(CM) Silver The standardization & repeatability of the ConX Chassis and connectivity with other trades creates a platform for knowledge carry forward and continuous improvement. Standard connectors allow beams to be quickly and safely lowered & locked onto columns in the field. Copyright ConXtech, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 37

38 ConXtech Overview Modular at a Point ConX is configured, analyzed, manufactured and installed from a precise wire-frame of points interconnected by lines. STANFORD NEUROSCIENCE BUILDING HOOVER MEDICAL CAMPUS BIM-based Workflow Standard lower & locking connections and assemblies: Detailing model feeds manufacturing ConX Factory: robotic welding, specialized fixtures, and CNCdriven cut, drill, plasma and milling. Manufacturing technologies scale with minimal dependency on highly skilled labor. ConX component libraries, standardization mean early available model Chapter 10 of ANSI/AISC Other trades can modularize around digital chassis; supports trade coordination AISC Codified, OSHPD & LADBS Approved Modular, manufactured assemblies eliminate rework Fully Distributed Bi-Axial Moment Frame/Space Frame Tested in Full Scale Pre-engineered Connections Copyright ConXtech, Inc.

45 Intermodal Structures Industrialized Construction 2014 Forum December 4, 2014

46 As its name implies, Intermodal Structures designs, manufactures and delivers single and multi-story, steel frame buildings (intermodally) to customers located anywhere in the world. The buildings are earthquake and hurricane/typhoon proof and their moment frame design enables 40 feet of clear span without requiring any columns or structural walls. Their long life, expandability (both horizontally and vertically), adaptability to different uses over time and relocatability future proofs our buildings.
