A Platforms Approach to Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA): Maximising Value with Lean Construction and Sustainable Design
Episode description
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.
