Prefab Construction’s Benefits Grow With Design for Manufacture and Assembly
BY MARKKUS ROVITO
A growing movement in the construction industry—called design for manufacture and assembly (DfMA)—takes traditional design and grafts two important goals onto it: that the products will be easy to manufacture and that those manufactured products will be easy to assemble into a larger construction.
Not coincidentally, the construction industry stands to benefit greatly from an uptick in DfMA, whose principles contribute to making construction projects faster to complete; safer for workers; environmentally friendlier; and more affordable to developers, clients, and end users.
