Interview with Paul Wintour
The productisation of construction is changing design and delivery models for our buildings. By using data to generate designs, buildings can be delivered faster with cost savings and cost certainty. In this episode, we speak with Paul Wintour, Founder of Parametric Monkey about:
⁃ The inputs that can be optimised for in design
⁃ The right business models to capitalise on the changes
⁃ The development of prefabrication and BIM
