vs approach temperature(K)..
P-DfMA achieves this goal.For example, floor-to-floor heights are relatively standard across a variety of different buildings: schools, hospital wards, apartment buildings and certain office types.
This is because the heights result from the size of people, rather than being necessitated by the requirements of a particular sector.We allow for the height of a person, plus headroom, plus a zone for structures, M&E systems and architectural finishes.Recognising this reality, platform construction (P-DfMA) was Bryden Wood’s attempt to identify these types of cross-sector commonalities and develop a kit of parts which could then be used to build a variety of different sector types, but using the same components.
This allows the application of manufacturing techniques and processes, with consistent quality achieved, as well as facilitating greater economies of scale..The manufacturing industry has long enjoyed the benefits of this design to value approach.
At BMW and Volkswagen a common car chassis is used across all models.
It’s the finer details that change from car to car - the wheels, trim, engine, bodywork… Similarly, Ikea use a limited kit of components to create their various pieces of furniture.On top of this, having the ability to generate a data model and undertake significant amounts of simulation, allows aspects of a design to be tested much more rigorously than by traditional means.
Together, all of these factors culminate in the delivery of the best possible buildings.. Education, Construction Technology and the Future of Construction.At Bryden Wood, our aim is to change the process of design through the use and adoption of technology.
As we do this, we need to start to attract more diverse people into the industry.Working with technology in new and exciting ways helps with the industry’s broader image.
