Together with Terra Praxis and the wider team, Bryden Wood are developing the standardised, P-DfMA engineering solution and the digital platform with the necessary tools and services to attract enough customers and enough suppliers to this system.

Applying the core tenets of Design to Value, a modelling strategy can be developed which connects the project brief and client aims to the performance of the final product, measuring options against appropriate KPIs to improve performance and reduce risk..Practical applications to drive efficiency with DES and DfMA.

Recently, we have applied Discrete Event Simulation (DES) in a project for the rapid DfMA construction of storage and distribution facilities, building flexible, digital models that can represent both the on-site assembly sequences and the supply chain operations for the construction of multiple sites in Europe.In doing so we can validate and optimise the construction programme whilst also gaining insights into frequency and pattern of deliveries.This data can then be used to optimise stock quantities and locations, as well as discover any potential bottlenecks and options for alleviating these, to support the most efficient build sequence.. Bryden Wood has successfully applied these techniques to Platform construction (P-DfMA) and continues to do so for large clients.

In using these Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) methodologies and tools we can slowly aid transformation and delivery value whilst addressing some of the most pressing sector and global issues which are faced today..

Construction Playbook.

is ‘to harmonise, digitise and rationalise demand’ across the public sector.Ricketts says that although it all works in theory, in reality, we’re not even at the proof of concept stage yet.

At the moment, there are conversations happening with partners and stakeholders about how best to achieve the goal..The RIPA project started at the simple end of planning applications with permitted development, which might include something like an application for a slightly larger kitchen, or a loft extension.

Permitted development is a technical assessment that provides yes or no answers based on aspects like allowable depths and heights.This makes codification easier.
