As the building gets smaller, so does the air handling plant.

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.. To learn more about P-DfMA and Modern Methods of Construction, listen to Episode 1 of our podcast, Built Environment Matters: Platform Construction & Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA).

It’s also the mother of get on with it.Conclusion: Construction Platforms, a Way Forward.

The central concept of volumetric methodologies such as PPVC and MiC is to retain conventional construction practices but simply relocate them away from building sites and into factories.Conversely, Bryden Wood’s Platform approach has the potential to deliver the fundamental industry transformation that both Singapore and Hong Kong are striving for.

If such an approach was applied to the local context, with components tailored for the unique construction and regulatory landscape of each country, a new manufacturing-led approach to construction could start to emerge and set an exciting new example for the Asia-Pacific region.. At Bryden Wood, we are excited to see DfMA playing an ever more mainstream role in the construction landscape in both Singapore and Hong Kong and we will do our best to support the industry in both countries in whatever ways we can..If you'd like to continue to learn about our Design to Value approach and Modern Methods of Construction, sign up for our monthly newsletter here:.
