Whereas, previously, the government has simply implemented policies, we’re now seeing a more collaborative approach, in the form of The Construction Playbook and Industrial Strategy.
PRiSM brings speed and insight to the housing design process by harnessing the benefits of standardisation and automation, whilst promoting creativity and flexibility.. Our primary goal when we developed PRiSM was to help democratise the knowledge around Precision Manufactured Housing (PMH), a term which refers to homes designed and built using MMC principles.PMH homes can be built up to twice as fast and to a higher standard than those built with traditional construction methods.
When we talk about using MMC techniques (platform construction, panelised, volumetric etc.), what we’re actually referring to is the ability to manufacture significant portions of the building offsite in more controlled factory conditions, using repeatable processes, followed by safe and rehearsed assembly onsite.Working this way reduces time and labour, while increasing quality.. PRiSM 1.0 - Working Together for Better Housing in London.
The PRiSM project was completed in 2019 and launched in conjunction with residential consultancy Cast.Funding was provided by the Mayor of London with additional support from.
Transport for London, L&Q, Legal & General Modular Homes and Greystar.. PRiSM has many different practical uses and benefits, but at a very fundamental level, the app can be seen as a launch point for digital residential design.
Among other things, it begins to help us fill in some of the digital gaps left by the construction industry’s more traditional processes.‘Bryden Wood appealed to me massively,’ says Hall, ‘as a company who are expanding rapidly.’ However the best thing about them, he says, is that they are a multi-discipline company, which ‘allows for the potential of working on a wide range projects.. Hall says the thing he finds most enjoyable about his apprenticeship position is that it enables him to work on ‘live projects’ where he is given the opportunity and responsibility to assist in work going out.
He also enjoys travelling from his St. Albans base, either to Bryden Wood’s London office or to visit projects/buildings he has worked on.‘I’ve worked on a number of different projects since I joined,’ says Hall.
‘No two projects have been the same and I have enjoyed working on them all.’.When asked about the biggest challenge of his apprenticeship so far, Charlie says, ‘Upon joining Bryden Wood, I came straight from school.
