DESIGN FOR
MANUFACTURE
& ASSEMBLY

BLR’s Design for Manufacture and Assembly approach redefines how construction performance is achieved.

We combine design coordination, digital modelling, and precision fabrication to deliver building solutions that are faster, safer, and more sustainable - without compromise to design integrity or craftsmanship.

Our DfMA capability isn’t about prefabrication for its own sake, it’s about strategic integration into the build process. By aligning designers, engineers, and fabricators early, we transform complex builds into controlled, repeatable systems where quality is assured before components reach site.

Every connection, tolerance, and interface is planned, tested, and verified to deliver more certainty: in program, cost, quality, and safety.

DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURE & ASSEMBLY CAPABILITIES

BLR brings manufacturing discipline to construction combining craft with data, and design with delivery. Our DfMA approach creates value where it matters most: in time, cost, quality, and confidence.

INTEGRATION FROM THE START

We embed our construction, design, and manufacturing expertise from day one. This early alignment ensures every component is designed to perform, every tolerance is understood, and every interface is resolved before fabrication begins.

Our team works directly with manufacturers during design development testing pricing, methodology, and logistics in real time, not just on paper.

DIGITAL PRECISION AND CONTROL

BIM-led coordination drives every DfMA project. Integrated models, QA workflows, and data dashboards in Procore create a single source of truth that links design, manufacture, and assembly seamlessly.

The result is digital continuity from the first sketch to final handover.

EFFICIENT ASSEMBLY ONSITE

Our process is designed to eliminate and mitigate unforeseen risks.

By resolving complexity early, we compress programs, stabilise cost plans, and reduce rework and risk onsite.

Assembly sequencing, logistics, and commissioning are pretested and modelled before site commencement - meaning delivery is predictable, repeatable, and safe.

SUSTAINABILITY BY DESIGN

DfMA naturally supports our sustainability goals by reducing waste, transport, and embodied carbon through efficient material use and precision planning.

Every design is analysed for manufacturing efficiency, repeatability, and lifecycle impact, ensuring smarter resource use and longer building life.
