And that enables us to try lots of different options in a short amount of time.
The pre-manufactured components of platform construction (P-DfMA) systems are specifically designed to be standardised and mass-produced by a wide supply chain, like the mechanical components of a car, to deliver the greatest possible factory efficiency and economies of scale..The components can be easily transported and moved, and they fit together quickly and simply on site with the least amount of handling.
Platform construction systems are designed to be flexible and customisable to avoid limiting design freedom and allow massing, form and aesthetic treatments to be considered on a plot-specific basis.. Driving value with MMC and P-DfMA.Construction platforms are an example of an approach to DfMA that relies on both off-site and on-site construction works, bringing the best aspects of both.The division of fabrication and assembly tasks has been carefully considered to maximise the efficiency of both factory prefabrication and on-site assembly.
This is a key aspect of Bryden Wood’s.Design to Value.
approach: considering how the benefits promised by MMC can be maximised to deliver better outcomes for clients, contractors, end users and society as a whole.. To learn more about our Design to Value approach to design and construction, sign up for our monthly newsletter here:.
