“You have to think of things like systems architecture, and you have to understand things like flow.
These facilities handle chemicals, metals, and intermediate products with stringent safety and environmental control requirements, often in direct partnership with carmakers like GM and Tesla..The costs and timescales associated with constructing such facilities are immense..
The Search for Better Value.The potential benefits of.Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA).
in construction are well documented.At Bryden Wood, DfMA has been integral to our approach for more than 30 years, delivering tangible benefits across various sectors.. DfMA reduces overall cost and time (30% reductions are not uncommon), improves labour productivity, reduces labour requirements, and enhances sustainability by minimising waste, maximising material efficiency, and reducing embodied carbon.
platform approach to DfMA.
has demonstrated the potential to transform the way buildings are delivered at scale..There are elements of some processes that are unique and so will require a bespoke built solution.
But there are also many elements that are, or could be, automated or standardised across multiple processes in one or more sectors and industries.Discovering standardisation adds its own value; not having to reinvent the wheel with every project; being able to apply the learning gathered from previous projects to the current one; and resource and cost efficiencies in all stages of design and production..
The benefits of standardisation are visible every day in the manufacturing industry, at global scale.At Bryden Wood, we bring them to construction.
