Design for Manufacturing and

Assembly with focus on PPVC

INTRODUCTION
Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) is a new approach in the construction industry.
By bringing more work offsite, manpower and time needed to construct buildings are reduced,
while ensuring work sites are safe, conducive and have minimal impact on the surrounding
living environment. This workshop covers the design, manufacturing and planning aspects
of DfMA, with focus on Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC). Sharing of
case studies on different types of projects which deployed DfMA methodology and the benefits
reaped will help participants better appreciate, and be more confident in the adoption and
implementation of DfMA.
