‘Effectiveness’ is the ability of a design to deliver the required rehabilitative outcome, while ‘efficiency’ is the total whole life cost required to achieve this outcome..

How productive can those people be?.Our goal with P-DfMA is lean construction.

We want to remove anything which doesn’t add value.To achieve the best possible results, we must change the way we think, the way we manage materials and people.Design must form the entry point, with that particular element of P-DfMA serving as the foundation and pervading principle for everything which follows.

We must allow the manufacture and assembly process to drive the way we design the asset in the first place, as well as the way we engage the client and the supply chain..Integrated design.

Much of the industry’s current difficulty arises from the fact that few people can see the entire process through from end-to-end.

At Bryden Wood we have, over time, developed a cross-disciplinary approach in response to this reality and the need to design towards the process – to rationalise, coordinate and develop a fully integrated design solution.It may be that BIM unlocks value, or value unlocks finance, or finance unlocks BIM, but there is a real chance to develop a ‘UK brand’ construction approach that we can sell internationally.

We don’t want to compete on how cheaply we can provide labor and concrete.We want to compete on how much value we can add, and how we can help support the delivery of infrastructure and development plans of economies throughout the world..
