DfMA frame and offsite construction
The unique DfMA system involved each structural element being designed and manufactured offsite. The elements include precast concrete twinwalls, steel columns, beams and hollow core concrete planks. Additionally, we significantly reduced time on the construction programme by installing bolt on balconies and bathroom pods.
