Enabling planning as a data-led process will unlock the value of related modern methods of construction, enabling connections with related applications such as the PRiSM app for housing.. Making processes more efficient and transparent will force the hand of the regulatory environment – as we have seen in other sectors, better technology drives the modernisation of regulations.. And, of course, the lessons learned from this project can be applied beyond planning.

The MOJ wanted to design a new type of prison focused on rehabilitation.We realised that the manufacturing component of the construction process could be taught to serving prisoners, helping to train them in marketable skills for use on release, and aiding rehabilitation.

We also realised that the sort of P-DfMA systems we were designing for the MOJ could then be transferred across to other government infrastructure projects, thereby facilitating the wider adoption of these beneficial, lean construction processes.. Bryden Wood published the first book on platform design in 2017 (.new updated edition of Platforms book available to download here. )and we have continued to expand on and optimise Platforms and other MMC methodologies in our work with both public and private sector clients.

We’ve never sought to patent our work and we have open sourced the code for both of our construction design apps - SEISMIC and PRISM.Our goal is to bring about maximum benefit for the wider industry and society.

We encourage our clients to join us on this journey by allowing others to benefit from the knowledge and systems we create for each project.

This creates a kind of reinforcing circle across the public and private sectors.for housing and schools respectively, or computational design workflows such as.

Rapid Engineering Model.(REM) for Highways England, or.
