Ultimately, you will have a happy client who won’t have to pay as much to run the building every year.With the Circle Reading project, architects Bryden Wood have employed a design ethic powered by both clinical practicality and build efficiency, delivering a hospital not only visually distinctive, but one which utilises insightful, use-driven design and cutting edge manufacturing processes.

She believes productising construction will form exactly such a reef.. What is productisation in construction?.The way things currently stand in the construction industry, every building we create is essentially a prototype.

This means that our built assets are riddled with all the inefficiency of one-off designs and custom components.But just as people no longer have their shoes tailor-made by a shoe maker, it’s time for the construction industry to embrace change and forge a new path toward progress.As we stare down the barrel of a rapidly growing, global population and its associated infrastructure needs, alongside an aging construction workforce and a life-altering climate crisis, our current state of low productivity, non-transferable learnings, and high waste is no longer acceptable.. It’s these types of issues, and the associated risk, industrialised construction products and processes help to resolve.. Making the change with Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA).

The issue of productisation forms a key concept within the industry’s broader shift toward industrialised (or manufactured) construction.However, implementing.

modular and prefabricated building components along with a.

Design for Manufacture and Assembly processes doesn’t mean we’ll end up with low-quality buildings that all look the same., delivering major design and construction projects in pharmaceutical and process facilities, data centres, aviation, healthcare, education, residential, water infrastructure, transport infrastructure, custodial facilities… It has unlimited applications.. Our Design to Value approach is proven to deliver better results for the built environment, and for our clients..

It is being done.. To learn more about our Design to Value philosophy, read Design to Value: The architecture of holistic design and creative technology by Mark Bryden, John Dyson, Jaimie Johnston MBE and Martin Wood.Available to purchase at.Adam Jordan, Asia-Pacific lead at Bryden Wood, reviews developments in Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA), construction platforms (P-DfMA) and Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) in Asian markets.. Bryden Wood is focused on developing innovative approaches to improve the efficiency and productivity of the construction industry.

We were pioneers in Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) before the approach even had a name.Our completed DfMA projects show a track record of achieving considerable benefits including cost and programme reduction, higher quality, better labour productivity, improved health and safety, less waste and lower carbon content.. Once a radical proposition, over recent years DfMA has become a mainstream ‘hot topic’ around the world.
