To put that in context, if the quantity of electricity used by the UK about 320 Bn KWh per year was moved from gas to offshore wind the saving would be £126Billion per year.
Our completed DfMA projects show a track record of achieving considerable benefits including cost and programme reduction, higher quality, better labour productivity, improved health and safety, less waste and lower carbon content.. Once a radical proposition, over recent years DfMA has become a mainstream ‘hot topic’ around the world.Bryden Wood’s two key markets in Asia - Singapore and Hong Kong - have both had recent success at promoting DfMA with a focus on volumetric modular construction.
This approach to prefabrication has been given a different name in each market: Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC) in Singapore, and Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) in Hong Kong.. Bryden Wood has been privileged to play a part in the development of the DfMA market in Singapore and Hong Kong.Now as off-site becomes more established in both markets, the benefits and limitations of volumetric modular construction are becoming clear and we have been considering the question, ‘What next?’.. Singapore: Prefabricated Prefinished Voulmetric Construction.Singapore has a strong reputation as a regional innovator and the construction industry is no exception.
In 2010, Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority (BCA) launched the.Construction Productivity Roadmap.
to foster improvement in workforce productivity and greater technology adoption by the industry.. DfMA has been on the radar in Singapore since at least 2014 when it was identified as a key component of the second.
Building Information Modelling (BIM) Roadmap issued by BCA.and this maybe should be understood to prevent “traffic-jam” consequences..
at low value products, scale appears to be.potentially critical.
to securing a positive cashflow.over the longer term.
