It’s vital that we change that perception, because this young generation of gamers already have many of the skills we now need in the industry.They’ve grown up playing games like Minecraft and they’re used to working collaboratively in a 3D environment, designing with a standardised set of components.
We tested our school design app SEISMIC on a group of nine-year-old children in London.We were astonished at how easily and intuitively they were able to use it.. It’s vital that we change the perception of the construction industry and focus on attracting young talent into it.We must make it clear that construction is an exciting, vital industry - one where these young people can put their existing skills to use in an enjoyable and rewarding way.
But most of all, we must collectively rise to our own potential.We must embrace modern methods of construction, including P-DfMA, to move ourselves safely and efficiently into the next stage of the modern world..
