Benefits of DfMA Solutions
Improved Health & Safety
The more site work that is moved to the factory environment, the more additional safety benefits have an impact: with reduced or eliminated working at height; better separation of personnel and vehicle movements; and the ability to introduce mechanical assistance and provide high-quality equipment to assist with repetitive tasks.
In fact, studies have shown that prefabrication in construction can reduce workplace accidents by 25%, which is why DP Building works out of Birmingham and North London, operating throughout the UK to secure health and safety in our environments.

Reduced Cost
Using MMC processes reduces the time required onsite, meaning less materials to be managed as well as a reduced workforce. This high level of efficiency and productivity drives down costs. The reduced requirement for onsite welfare facilities, parking and materials storage adds to the cost savings.
In turn, the reduced construction and general access traffic create less disturbance to local residents. In areas where there are hospitals, schools, or densely populated communities, this can be a huge benefit in keeping community stakeholders on board.

Reduced Labour
With an ageing population and skills shortage in the MEP industry, MMC plays an essential part in reducing this impact when demands are so high. MMC techniques improve both efficiency and productivity. Because the processes are pre-planned and formulaic, there is no requirement for multidisciplinary teams to work at the same location, so teams have more space to work safely.
The increasing demand for MMC factories helps to level up the workload in the UK and reduces travel to the next project.

Decarbonisation / Sustainability
MMC techniques are efficient in reducing waste. The reduction in transportation of materials back and forth to a live site, coupled with the ultra-productive manufacturing methods that reduce energy use, all add up to a direct reduced impact on the environment and the overall sustainability and reduced carbon content of a project, both throughout the construction cycle and when the building is in use.
By partnering with DP Building Systems, you can leverage our expertise and innovative solutions to further enhance your sustainability efforts and achieve your environmental goals.

It is much easier to control the quality of the finished product when you have more meticulous processes and carry out those processes in a controlled, dry, easily accessible environment. Consequently, defects at the source are significantly reduced, and the fit and finish are better.
Our QR code applied to each module enables full traceability of the design, sign-off procedure, test certificates, photos and a certificate of conformity.

Shorter Programmes
Whether it is due to the stacking of activities between the factory and on-site or just improvements in site productivity from better on-site methodologies, MMC projects can deliver time savings of between 10 and 50% of construction time. This may mean opening early with the consequent revenue benefits or the ability to deliver a project within a specific time deadline, such as the start of a school or university term.
