We’ve talked extensively about the benefits a Platforms approach to Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA) can bring to a construction project, namely cost savings, increased safety on site, better quality, more sustainable buildings. But, what does a plausible future look like in practice if government and the private sector adopt this way of working. Board Director and Head of Global Systems, Jaimie Johnston, explores what's technically achievable in a near future state and how construction Platforms unlock the true power of digital, data and manufacturing in the lifecycle of a construction project.

Bryden Wood Board Director and Head of Global Systems, Jaimie Johnston MBE, talks about a platform approach to design for manufacture and assembly (P-DfMA) and how it can benefit architects, the construction industry, the built environment and society as a whole.

Bryden Wood is a technology-led design company focused on Design to Value in construction. Their pioneering work with platform design enables sets of components or assemblies to be configured in a variety of different ways, in order to create a variety of different assets within the built environment. Part of a Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) approach to construction, the benefits of platforms design include improved efficiency, costs, quality, safety and sustainability. The construction industry currently contributes 39% of global carbon emissions, so we need to act. Join us as we discuss how using Modern Methods of Construction can help the industry move towards a brighter future.
