When lecturing my students, I discuss the dis-economy of scale.

Transforming Infrastructure Performance: Roadmap to 2030. , published in 2021.Also on this page are our three previous books on platform design for manufacture and assembly (P-DfMA), explaining the use of a platform design approach to construction.
These platform design books have grown in influence and importance since publication.
It is our hope that these books will help further facilitate the adoption and wide-reaching benefits of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC)..Sully believes it’s this lack of considered collaboration, and the need to overcome such issues, which is ultimately responsible for the lack of government funding we’ve seen, despite long-standing acknowledgement of the problems..
Things began to shift when the Construction Leadership Council (CLC), and some of the large industry players, began to talk about how we could start to work together to be more effective.Bryden Wood’s efforts to develop P-DfMA processes and strategies utilising platform construction and manufacturing approaches have helped to facilitate an understanding of the ways we might achieve our desired goals.. P-DfMA and The Ministry of Justice.
Bryden Wood’s previous work with the first iterations of platform construction for the Ministry of Justice formed an early step on the P-DfMA path.Trudi Sully was involved with the effort to bring manufacturing into that process as part of her work with the MTC.
