P-DfMA achieves this goal.
Back in 2017, the Mayor of London announced the need for at least 50,000 new homes per year in the capital.However, since then, only around 40,000 have been built, and only a little over 25% of those are considered ‘affordable.’ The disparity between need and production in residential architecture highlights a broader, but equally critical, issue - the problems and inefficiency of the wider construction industry.
At Bryden Wood, we hope our housing design app, PRiSM, will help to form part of the solution.. Our problem as an industry is simple enough to understand; it stretches beyond residential architecture into other social infrastructure sectors as well.Traditional construction methods simply can’t meet the scale of demand for new built assets.Not in the future.
The global population is increasing rapidly, set to reach 11.5 billion by 2050.Inefficiency abounds when every building is a prototype and we start from scratch with the design and build process each and every time.
At Bryden Wood, we believe the key to solving both the housing shortage and the wider construction crisis lies in the use of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC).. Housing Design with Modern Methods of Construction.
By Modern Methods of Construction, we refer to those transformative and often technologically innovative methodologies which enable rapid, safe and efficient assembly of building parts rather than traditional construction.‘We all keep an eye on each other.’.
‘It’s a bit of a team spirit, really,’ confirms Adam.. Paul Highton is located nearby with other key members of the Circle Team, including the Head of Operations and the Hospital Director.‘What I really like is that there’s no segregation.’ he says.
It allows people to interact with each other… Anybody can come in and just have that conversation with us.’.In other words, at Circle Reading, there is the dual benefit of both a sense of community, as well as a sense of peacefulness.
