Once we achieve that, we’ll create a domino effect that unlocks other elements..

Platforms dramatically reduce the risk of on-site changes in two key ways:.Intelligent design and automated fabrication remove the need for human ‘interpretation’ of drawings, increasing accuracy and consistency, for greater safety and productivity.

Platform II was designed to use basic materials with the minimum amount of fabrication where possible.Most components use no or low levels of fabrication (these can be thought of as ‘dumb’ components).
