For more than two decades Bryden Wood has been breaking down buildings to kits of component parts and looking for ways to deliver different types of projects using the same constituent parts.This work has culminated in our Platforms approach to building, developed in close consultation with the UK Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) which recently led to the UK Government issuing a call for evidence on a Platform approach for DfMA (P-DfMA).. We define a platform as a set of components used for creating a range of products.

An analogy in the manufacturing sector would be a set of mechanical parts that is used to create the standardised chassis that sits inside many different models of car.Recent decades have seen rapid change in manufacturing efficiency driven by whole sectors working with a defined range of components to enable rapid innovation to take place.Mass production encourages continual improvement in component design and manufacture, speeding up product evolution..

Conclusion: Construction Platforms, a Way Forward.The central concept of volumetric methodologies such as PPVC and MiC is to retain conventional construction practices but simply relocate them away from building sites and into factories.

Conversely, Bryden Wood’s Platform approach has the potential to deliver the fundamental industry transformation that both Singapore and Hong Kong are striving for.

If such an approach was applied to the local context, with components tailored for the unique construction and regulatory landscape of each country, a new manufacturing-led approach to construction could start to emerge and set an exciting new example for the Asia-Pacific region.. At Bryden Wood, we are excited to see DfMA playing an ever more mainstream role in the construction landscape in both Singapore and Hong Kong and we will do our best to support the industry in both countries in whatever ways we can..Jaimie emphasised that industrialisation, particularly when guided by sustainability goals, has the power to reshape industries and reduce carbon footprints.

Smaller, modular facilities and continuous processing offer more than operational efficiency—they represent a pathway to decarbonise manufacturing processes on a global scale, achieving high-impact results in less time..Learn more about our.
