Why are planners (and the public) expected to engage with idealised and unrealistic CGI images of proposed developments that they cannot adjust, interrogate or control?

, delivering major design and construction projects in pharmaceutical and process facilities, data centres, aviation, healthcare, education, residential, water infrastructure, transport infrastructure, custodial facilities… It has unlimited applications.. Our Design to Value approach is proven to deliver better results for the built environment, and for our clients..It is being done.. To learn more about our Design to Value philosophy, read Design to Value: The architecture of holistic design and creative technology by Mark Bryden, John Dyson, Jaimie Johnston MBE and Martin Wood.

Available to purchase at.Adam Jordan, Asia-Pacific lead at Bryden Wood, reviews developments in Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA), construction platforms (P-DfMA) and Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) in Asian markets.. Bryden Wood is focused on developing innovative approaches to improve the efficiency and productivity of the construction industry.We were pioneers in Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) before the approach even had a name.Our completed DfMA projects show a track record of achieving considerable benefits including cost and programme reduction, higher quality, better labour productivity, improved health and safety, less waste and lower carbon content.. Once a radical proposition, over recent years DfMA has become a mainstream ‘hot topic’ around the world.

Bryden Wood’s two key markets in Asia - Singapore and Hong Kong - have both had recent success at promoting DfMA with a focus on volumetric modular construction.This approach to prefabrication has been given a different name in each market: Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC) in Singapore, and Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) in Hong Kong.. Bryden Wood has been privileged to play a part in the development of the DfMA market in Singapore and Hong Kong.

Now as off-site becomes more established in both markets, the benefits and limitations of volumetric modular construction are becoming clear and we have been considering the question, ‘What next?’.. Singapore: Prefabricated Prefinished Voulmetric Construction.

Singapore has a strong reputation as a regional innovator and the construction industry is no exception.Too many cooks spoil the broth is a colloquial statement of the same system understanding..

In an area I know a little about.and with a. degree of understanding of the economics.

I decided to create a simple economic model.to test this idea..
