in 2017 to define and inform the thinking around the development of a platforms design (P-DfMA) approach to construction.If we ignore the cost of the labour that has gone into making the component, we only have material costs left, resulting in limited opportunities to add value.

Manufacturers have understood this for decades and spent a great deal of effort developing highly productive assembly routines that enabled the mass production, automation and commoditisation that fuelled the consumer age.. Too often factories are treated as ‘construction sites in a shed' producing bespoke, custom components with overlapping trades and poor works sequencing, causing reduced value and the same inefficiencies that are often found on construction sites.We want the factories that produce components for the construction industry to be more like the best factories making consumer goods; highly efficient, controlled and focused on achieving the highest throughput for the lowest cost, without compromising on quality..

In short, we want factories to be less like construction sites.. Construction Platforms: our MMC approach to achieving the best mix of on-site and off-site construction.At Bryden Wood, we have over 25 years’ experience applying all types of MMC solutions to a huge range of projects.
