environment utilised at Bryden Wood.
A series of span tables were embedded in the library for The Forge to provide quantities for concrete and reinforcement, based on slab performance requirements including: fire separation, acoustic separation, loading and vibration performance and spans/grids.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
Construction will become more systems based: as an industry we are fragmented and siloed, this will help us break out from these and collaborate with shared data..There will be much more upfront design in the process,.Industry Challenge.
The construction process is linear, sharing still involves multiple ‘hand offs’, between parties with imperfect transfer of information and data leading to rework and duplication..The greater level of technical design required pre-planning application submission will change the cashflow profile of many projects..
Platforms solution.
Open and shared information is integral to the platforms approach: across projects and across sectors..It’s also important to recognise that tools like PRiSM don’t need to limit beauty or individuality in the built environment.
We use standardisation like the hidden skeletal bones of a building, but the outer manifestation can be as individual and unique as we are as human beings.. A Helpful Tool for the Wider Design & Construction Industry.When PRiSM launched, we deliberately described it as a broad but shallow tool.
It didn’t develop the design for you, but it had lots of applications.Architects can use PRiSM to learn more about PMH techniques, including their rules, opportunities and constraints.
