Construction faces rising costs, labor shortages, and growing sustainability demands. In this article, Raghi Iyengar, Product Management at Manufacton (part of ALLPLAN), explains how Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) tackles these challenges by integrating manufacturing and assembly considerations from the very first design stage. Projects benefit from standardized components, optimized prefabrication, and early collaboration - resulting in faster schedules, higher quality, and predictable costs.
