Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) is a game-changing method of construction which involves manufacturing off site in a controlled environment, before being assembled on-site. It comprises a continuum of technologies that promote off-site fabrication.

BE professionals would need to draw on various disciplinary expertise and integrate DfMA technologies ranging from prefabricated components to fully integrated assemblies. The DfMA approach leverages on advanced technologies, improving the quality and precision of construction while reducing reliance on manpower.
