• All building projects are treated as unique
• All project teams are unique in its set-up
• All projects are built with unique technical solutions and design
• Our industry builds prototypes – every time!
• Building projects are complex in terms of technical solutions, processes and organization
•The building process is fragmented, many actors and many interfaces
Due to the complexity of the industry and the strong one-off project approach,
the construction industry struggles with complex problems:
• Quality and sustainability problems
• High cost and price levels
• Poor productivity and profitability
• Complex production environment with safety issues
• Industrialized Construction is a concept based on an integrated approach
• Continuity inTechnology, Processes and Organization is fundamental for industrialization
• A high level of continuity enables increased performance
• A structure for continuous improvement is crucial
• Platforms for bothTechnology and Processes enable a stable structure for reliable solutions
•The level of predefinition affects flexibility and predictability
• Companies become more product-oriented and less project-oriented
• Platforms enable efficient and predictable building project execution
• IC applies deep customer knowledge as a starting point for concept development
• Sustainability is built into the product-concepts from the start
• Knowledge from executed projects is used for continuous improvement
• Energy efficient buildings with optimized solutions increase sustainability
