Although that’s been available for some time, the conversations around commonality are a significant shift.The Construction Innovation Hub’s work last year with the Defining the Need Report looked at the specific pipelines of infrastructure delivery (particularly social infrastructure), and analyzed what specification requirements were already in place, their maturity, and how much common ground existed..

The level of significant overlap was surprising.

Over fifty percent of the estates were not unique in any way.The components can be easily transported and moved, and they fit together quickly and simply on site with the least amount of handling.

Platform construction systems are designed to be flexible and customisable to avoid limiting design freedom and allow massing, form and aesthetic treatments to be considered on a plot-specific basis.. Driving value with MMC and P-DfMA.Construction platforms are an example of an approach to DfMA that relies on both off-site and on-site construction works, bringing the best aspects of both.

The division of fabrication and assembly tasks has been carefully considered to maximise the efficiency of both factory prefabrication and on-site assembly.This is a key aspect of Bryden Wood’s.
