This is why digitising planning makes quite a good use case because, in theory, it’s a linear process..
They’ll need to be able to respond to what happens in the future, as we change our focus to the provision of whole-life solutions, rather than just capital assets.Pure contracting, as we currently know it, is likely to be a smaller part of the market.
Consultancy models are also likely to change, with a shift away from hourly rates for procured design services, towards an outcome and value-based model.This would work more like app development, where a product developer might identify a need in the market and then create a solution to license, achieving monetisation by selling it repeatedly in the UK and overseas.This is particularly likely if there’s a focus on design for manufacture and assembly (DfMA).. We’ll also see data driving diversification.
People will begin to understand how they can use data to offer different products and services, impacting things like availability and operational performance.In this scenario, capital costs will become something of a blip in terms of the overall service offering being brought to market.. P-DfMA and the UK’s Role within the International Community.
Then there is our work here in the UK with Platform construction (P-DfMA).
It’s certainly an exciting possibility that our work with P-DfMA could end up being adopted by the international community.The benefits of standardisation are visible every day in the manufacturing industry, at global scale.
At Bryden Wood, we bring them to construction.We used the principles of Design to Value described above to define a standard set of components and assembly techniques which form the basis of a huge range of buildings, from residential to industrial architecture.. We called this a Platforms approach to Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA).. Our Platform construction work.
is well documented and has been endorsed by the UK government for use across its development programme.. Evidencing the benefits of Design to Value.We are currently on site in central London with.
