We can do things like automate routing of certain utilities, based on the properties of the Chips.

The problems found in modular construction are only compounded by inefficient factory working.The cost of any prefabricated component (indeed, any component of any building) can be divided into materials and labour.

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.

Our industry-leading approach to MMC has developed over the years to consider ways to maximise the productivity of both off-site and on-site construction works to achieve better project outcomes for our clients.. Much of our thinking has been published on our website, particularly in our series of books about Construction Platforms, including the recently updated.

Delivery Platforms for Government Assets.This is where Design to Value intersects with digital.. For master planning, this is an approach that is proven to deliver substantial benefit to clients, against a wide range of value drivers.

The collaborative element is essential.The distance travelled across a project is always impressive, and the destination is rarely what the client imagined it would be at the outset – but it is always better..
