This ability to adapt the configuration of a design would be impossible in a design expressed as 100% single components..

We need to decouple some of the process, which is done differently every time, to create certainty.. To illustrate her point, Marks raises the example of a generator, built consistently to a 250 horsepower capacity.With a generator, we already know its size, shape, and the way it will act.

An architect wouldn’t request a generator of a custom capacity for a particular project, she says, because no one is going to decide that a manufactured product ought to be manufactured to a different capacity.. We don’t need to know many DfMA principles surrounding generators because they are productised, she says.The problem with DfMA, “is that you have to not only understand the element that you're figuring out the rules for, but then you need to know the proprietary rules for that element.And you multiply those exponentially.

It's too many.”.Creating an opportunity: prefabrication and productisation in construction.

The problem we’re currently facing, Marks says, is that “we're only talking about the baby steps of prefabrication, or really fabrication, at this point.

We're not enabling productisation.Since its inception, Martin has led Bryden Wood’s unremitting ambition to.

beyond the common ‘value drivers’ of individual projects.He has pioneered a new, transformative way of delivering critical infrastructure that employs a systematic approach, automation, and manufacturing in place of traditional bespoke construction..

Through a multidisciplinary approach to design, Bryden Wood has become synonymous with transformational innovation in DfMA,.industrialised construction.
