There are also considerable time-saving benefits with P-DfMA, which enable us to spend more time on the design and optimisation of components in the first place.
The pandemic has highlighted our ability to make large, successful shifts, and to do so very quickly.Rather than resisting change out of fear of uncertainty, we should embrace it.
Let’s use the uncertainty to fuel a change in our processes and find a better way of doing things.Often it happens that opportunities have been with us all along, we were just too nervous to take them.Now we find that our risk has increased anyway, and so we really have nothing left to lose..
If we can just expand our minds and ambition, the only thing left is to gain..

http://bit.ly/BWNewsUpdatesPeople often ask me why the majority of the staff in Bryden Wood’s Singapore office are data analysts.
I suppose it seems counter-intuitive for a firm focused on design and engineering for the built environment to put such stock in analytics.Using P-DfMA, we can have both..
Flexibility in modular construction.At Bryden Wood, it’s a guiding principle that we never compromise the design to fit the system.
Rather, our aim is to allow a level of flexibility in the components to resolve the tension between the need for optimisation and variability – what the market wants, or clients need.For example, with the Platform to superstructure, we have a series of standard connection brackets, which link the beams and columns.
