Industry experts say that today's building solutions must follow the principle of DfMA (Design for Manufacture and Assembly). This is a fundamentally different approach to building and the built environment than the traditional approach based on manufacture and assembly; and it starts with design.

This method can reduce labor and potentially automate the construction process.

Digitization is a key step in designing in an integrated and valid way. Useful information at every stage of design, from architectural to structural, from plant engineering to energy and management, is present in a single model.
