We can reap the hard-won benefits of technology and freedoms while at the same time repairing the world..

A range of other projects are in development, however Hong Kong remains a comparatively small market which makes it challenging to scale up a modular supply chain.There is huge production capacity available in neighbouring mainland China but Hong Kong’s building regulations limit available supply sources.. Hong Kong has an aging construction workforce but is well situated to take advantage of the industrial capability already present in the Greater Bay Area.

Moving more construction work off-site into a factory is the logical solution.With road and sea access to a large supply chain with few import restrictions in the Greater Bay Area, it will be possible to pre-manufacture components of almost any size required to achieve benefit..Applying the Lessons of Manufacturing.

For Bryden Wood, an attractive aspect of both Singapore and Hong Kong has been the enthusiasm and commitment to drive construction productivity improvement through innovation.We have been working hard to move the conversation forward in both markets.

Volumetric DfMA solutions have their applications and it has been great to see some successful projects delivered in this way, however there is a growing awareness that PPVC/MiC is not a one-size-fits-all solution to every construction problem but rather one possible tool in a spectrum of opportunities afforded by DfMA.. At Bryden Wood, we believe there is a way to deliver a wide spectrum of building types efficiently, safely and productively using standardised components.

For more than two decades Bryden Wood has been breaking down buildings to kits of component parts and looking for ways to deliver different types of projects using the same constituent parts.This may be another representation of tribalism..

The premise of the event itself was based on the understanding that only through working together would the way forward be mapped out.The vital role of design to foster collaboration across the sector, and outside it, was universally accepted..

In the room were those who have taken sustainability as a central pillar of their business.It was interesting to discover that, as a relative new business, they found many ways to make their laboratories more sustainable today than was ever thought possible, especially in terms of recycling waste.
