Ultimately, this type of data would then feed back into the design process itself, creating an open-ended process of continual improvement, and contributing to the next generation of components.. Our sustainable future.
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.In 2010, Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority (BCA) launched the.
Construction Productivity Roadmap.
to foster improvement in workforce productivity and greater technology adoption by the industry.. DfMA has been on the radar in Singapore since at least 2014 when it was identified as a key component of the second.Each product and portfolio and company is different.
What I find interesting.how production unit scale in some circumstances could have very significant impacts on financial returns.
over the lifetime of a portfolio of products.and where there appears to be little impact..
