Alongside the massive deployment of renewables, the refurbishment of 2TWe of coal globally will make it possible for us to achieve the ambitious decarbonisation targets we need to achieve, to stop climate change..

Contracting authorities should collaborate to find […] ways in which cross-sector platform solutions can be applied […] that enable interoperability of components across different sectors.. Future procurements and frameworks should support this with the development of a market and supply chain that can develop and deliver designs based on these platform approaches, manufacture and supply components, and innovate to improve and develop.these over time.
Construction Platforms will be familiar to anyone who has been following Bryden Wood’s work over the last few years.What is interesting here, though, is the strong link being made between standard components and digital libraries, and the need to create a market which supports the approach.. As we’ll see in the following examples, the combination of standard components and digital tools is exactly what we need to facilitate a digital marketplace.and improve construction procurement methods.
The Platform construction ecosystem - beyond standard components.This is where we start to see how we get to an open and transparent marketplace..
The diagram below is one we often use to explain Platform construction.
In the centre are the physical elements: superstructure, envelope, fit out and MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing).DfMA works best with tight coordination between disciplines – standardisation and innovation do not recognise traditional professional boundaries and value comes in many forms.. We know from extensive experience as M&E consultants and engineers that an integrated approach brings the best results.. Our approach to DfMA has delivered proven results in our M&E services work on.
pharmaceutical facilities.M&E systems and the platform approach to DfMA.
Our platform approach to Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA) takes DfMA even further.P-DfMA identifies commonality across entire sectors in the built environment to define the ‘kit of parts’ of components and processes that we can use to deliver a wide variety of built assets.
