Design for Manufacturing and Assembly is here to stay, and its potential is boundless.
Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) is a revolutionary approach that reshapes how we think about construction and design. By focusing on minimizing waste and enhancing efficiency from the earliest stages of product design, DfMA stands at the forefront of sustainable and innovative engineering practices. It aims to identify, quantify, and eliminate inefficiency, ensuring that every element is designed with its end-use in mind.
DfMA has driven our work since the firm was established in 2007 allowing us to engineer more than 300 buildings in more that 17 countries.
An event that gathered Mass Timber experts all around the globe
Our third edition of our DfMAy conference has been a great success! With exceptional speakers hailing from dynamic markets ranging from Portland to Singapore, and from South Africa to Northern Italy, the event was truly one to remember.
Their insightful presentations made a significant impact on the entire conference, providing the audience with a comprehensive perspective on the future of sustainable building practices. The engaging questions from our attendees during the round table illustrated a deep interest in the topics discussed and a keen desire to delve further into the possibilities of mass timber and DfMA approaches.
Thank you to all attendees who, sharing our passion for sustainable and innovative construction, participated in DfMAy 2024.
We hope that each of you left inspired to implement mass timber and DfMA methodologies in your upcoming projects, and we eagerly anticipate seeing the incredible innovations you will bring to life.

Challenges and experiences that are worth sharing
This year, our esteemed speakers will tackle key themes such as digital modeling, timber as a digital material, information sharing, detailing, collaboration, holistic approaches, and predicting on-site challenges. But what sets DfMAy apart is our commitment to authenticity and learning from experience.
We believe in the power of sharing success stories and the challenges and lessons learned along the way. That’s why our speakers will focus on sharing their real-world experiences, providing invaluable insights into the nuances of Mass Timber engineering.
DfMAy’s International Speaker
In both editions we paid much attention to the quality of speakers. We sought out experts in the field who could actively contribute to the sharing of knowledge and, above all, experience related to very important topics about Mass Timber. This year we feel an even greater responsibility to bring relevant, innovative, engaging topics designed to stimulate thought and debate.
This year’s speakers are some of the leading exponents and experts on the topics that characterize the DfMA approach. We are ready to deepen into numerous arguments such as digital model, timber as a digital material, information sharing, detailing, collaboration, holistic, on-site problems prediction.
