These numbers do not include the money spent by the industry to treat solvent waste, manage the safety risks, or pay any application of carbon tax..
Although the construction industry often objects to such comparisons on the basis of being different, the fact is there are tremendous similarities.In reality, we have much to learn from the other sectors who have progressed successfully down this path ahead of us.. Sully recalls that work on the MOJ project included a certain amount of culture shock, and says there was a chasm that needed bridging in order to bring together the fantastic capabilities of both the manufacturing and construction industries.
Now that this new model of working is finally becoming a reality, we need to push forward, focusing our efforts on proving the benefits, propagating the methodology, and enabling it to spread across the sector.In order to fully drive the change we’re seeking, we need to start delivering real projects.That’s when we’ll really start getting the level of information we can use and build upon for best effect..
The Forge, London.Bryden Wood’s work with Landsec on The Forge in London represents just such an exciting opportunity and case study.
The Forge is a world first, an office building created using a platform based (P-DfMA) approach to design and construction.
The project aims to produce the UK’s first net-zero carbon commercial building.It contributes to overall better design and allows designers to focus more of their efforts on solving the specific challenges relating to a particular site and context.
Standardised solutions lend themselves to efficiencies in construction and the application of DfMA.Operational benefits.
Standardised solutions facilitate efficient operation and maintenance, as well as aiding staff and prisoner wayfinding and navigation.. A developmental process, an evidence-based approach.Bryden Wood had been working with MoJ since 2011, when we helped developed their BIM Implementation Plan.
