The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has updated its Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) guidance following the update of the RIBA Plan of Work.
The Overlay (as the guidance is known) is aligned with the 2020 Plan of Work.
The key changes are:
- the stages, stage outcomes, procurement strategy and defined terms have been updated to match the RIBA Plan of Work 2020;
- the tasks associated with the modern methods of construction categories have been incorporated and the necessary procurement tasks associated with each category identified;
- the BIM tasks have been expanded to include wider digital processes and use of data;
- platform approaches and the delivery of programmes of projects that pertain beyond a single project timeline have been recognised. These approaches can impact the design stages of a project by creating key Stage 5 level information before a project begins;
- the tasks associated with delivering an effective asset handover and early feedback on delivery of DfMA approaches and use of MMC have been added; and
- the reuse and recycling considerations of pre-manufactured products at the end of an asset’s useful life have been included.
