New South Wales has done a comprehensive study over the last two years leading with their Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) guidelines for schools that go beyond volumetric towards a platform-based approach.
This depth of analysis is impossible when focusing solely on individual components.Chips allow easy value adjustments that support targeted process optimisation, leading to seamless improvements in productivity.. Planning for the future becomes straightforward, allowing consideration of various data variables, such as market trends, and calculating their impact on energy or space requirements.
Testing multiple options reveals the optimum capital investment to maximise future flexibility across different markets.. Benefits of modelling using chips.Once a client’s requirements are thoroughly assessed, a Chip library becomes a powerful tool for the design team, offering:.- Clear project brief understanding.. - Efficient test fits to maximise site utilisation.. - Future-proof expansion and phasing plans.. - Quick costing methods for all options.. - Utilities requirements assessment.. - Standardisation and design optimisation..
The above diagram illustrates how Chip Thinking® helps in understanding project briefs, test fits, future expansion, and standardisation..Streamlined design and construction.

facilitates industrialised construction, including.In fact, Gogan says that the representation from nuclear, and the appetite for these new nuclear, advanced heat technologies, was strong at COP26.
She’s also pleased with the decision to have an annual holding to account, rather than the five year timeframe we’ve previously been using.Hopefully, she says, this will put more pressure on wealthy nations to demonstrate progress.. At Bryden Wood, we believe that making a shift towards smaller, repeatable, manufactured elements is an important part of the path forward.
Approaching design and construction in this way helps to reduce material waste, producing more efficient and sustainable built assets.When looking at the vast scale of a project like Hinkley Point, at its enormous costs and lengthy timescales, it’s clear to see what the problems are.
