Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA).As identified above, DfMA is an essential part of the strategy to achieve net zero embodied and operational carbon.
Bryden Wood’s Platform approach to Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA) is a system that delivers efficiencies across the entire construction process by applying the principles of manufacturing.. Bryden Wood have taken the P-DfMA approach for the design of multiple projects, like Landsec’s The Forge office development in London, where we have followed the hierarchies described above..The Forge.. Its lean design, using a standardised ’kit-of-parts’ and the better control on the specification and procurement of materials has shown the following benefits:.Reduction of the amount of material used.
Reduction of waste produced during construction.Reduction of the time and human resources spent in the delivery of the project.
Enables local sourcing.
Reduction in whole life carbon.There's so much opportunity in this space that designers should be seeing this as a phenomenal space to step into and an exciting place.
But it doesn't feel like that's necessarily landing with the design community at the moment.”.Marks describes the world of the “new possible,” where everyone becomes a productiser making products, where owners become true influencers, and where some, like the ‘super subs’, general contractors, and builders, become systems integrators.
In this space, she says, it is only the architects who become more fully what they’ve always been and always set out to be..In this new world, she says, the architects will “truly become empowered architects, when you actually put real things in their hands…”.
