I am visited by three personifications.
The Department for Education knows exactly what the best performing teaching space looks like.Most residential developers have a pattern book of apartments, which are best suited for their needs.
They don’t want to design from scratch each time.Standardisation makes future maintenance easier.Where clients want the variability and flexibility is in the massing of the building, the articulation of the material choice and facade design.. We worked very hard with clients in the early stages to make sure that the construction Platforms we developed have enough variability in the areas which will facilitate maximum benefit.
We want to have a Design to Value process which achieves exactly what is desired..Tier 1 and the supply chain.
Another benefit we see from DfMA construction is the evolution of a more direct relationship between the customer and their supply chain partners, cutting down on transactional costs and eliminating a lot of inefficiency.
The contractor’s role becomes more profitable and sophisticated – what we refer to as a manufacturing assembly manager.At Bryden Wood we have many industrial clients who are concerned with transforming raw materials into new products through complex processes.
Our data analysts engage directly with clients to collect information about their processes and produce complex time-based models to simulate them and quantify the required inputs and resulting outputs..This analytical work is diverse, ranging from a recent optimisation study for a pharmaceutical plant in Singapore, to a strategy for scaling up commercial supply of a new product, to investigating the likely production timescales for a future COVID-19 vaccine..
Some might say that it is the role of the client to understand their process and of course that is correct.However, a client is generally interested only in the process, its technical feasibility and ability to achieve their business needs.
