will look to procure construction projects based on product platforms comprising of standardised and interoperable components and assemblies, the requirements for which will be part of a digital component catalogue..
Many processes and components are already standard.No-one would think of designing a sprinkler valve from scratch for every project, for example, and the use of pre-fabricated modules in risers for vertical service distribution in buildings is a technique widely in use.
DfMA is not, therefore, a revolutionary concept for M&E services.What we do is make DfMA a priority, a driving principle.. M&E in construction.DfMA combines off-site manufacture with on-site assembly, using precision in pre-fabrication to drive on-site efficiency in both installation and operation.
Standardisation of M&E parts and equipment leads to efficiencies of scale in both procurement and manufacture, and efficiencies of labour in the application on site of simple, safe, repeated, standard tasks.. We apply the principles of DfMA to every M&E building services project we work on, regardless of scale or sector.We look beyond the usual to find efficiency and deliver increased value by taking a fresh look at existing M&E design approaches – and improving on them.. M&E consultancy and engineering.
Bryden Wood is an integrated company.
Our M&E engineers work alongside architects and other disciplines in highly collaborative project teams, from the earliest stages and through projects, meaning that M&E building services are never an afterthought or an add-on.While there is undoubted value in the aesthetic and power in iconic objects and structures, in the end true value comes from the people within.
We can become obsessed by the physical, by the building.I have observed many times that we have a great tendency to grasp too early for the physicality of buildings - I need a factory, a hospital, a data centre etc - when they are just labels for the human and human-created activities within.
