At Bryden Wood, our Creative Technologies team has found that in the process of developing configurators, simply putting the rigour behind what is or isn’t a rule, or what is or isn’t acceptable, is very helpful.
Practical applications to drive efficiency with DES and DfMA.Recently, we have applied Discrete Event Simulation (DES) in a project for the rapid DfMA construction of storage and distribution facilities, building flexible, digital models that can represent both the on-site assembly sequences and the supply chain operations for the construction of multiple sites in Europe.
In doing so we can validate and optimise the construction programme whilst also gaining insights into frequency and pattern of deliveries.This data can then be used to optimise stock quantities and locations, as well as discover any potential bottlenecks and options for alleviating these, to support the most efficient build sequence.. Bryden Wood has successfully applied these techniques to Platform construction (P-DfMA) and continues to do so for large clients.In using these Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) methodologies and tools we can slowly aid transformation and delivery value whilst addressing some of the most pressing sector and global issues which are faced today..

is ‘to harmonise, digitise and rationalise demand’ across the public sector.
The Construction Innovation Hub’s ‘.Being able to engage with and interpret a 3D model is much more helpful to people than being presented with unrealistic CGI imagery depicting permanent sunshine and few cars.
Currently, trust in the planning system is at a low.If we can help people feel more in control of what they’re being consulted on, and give them a better sense of what a development will really look like, it should help to alleviate a lot of concern.. At present, ten Pathfinder projects are being undertaken by various local authorities.
All of them are looking at how to digitise planning policy, and make it more machine readable.Local plans take years for councils to produce, and are based on evidence which is out of date almost as soon as it’s put into use, and definitely by the time the plan is published years later.
