•​ Nested design: rooms facing outdoors and connected to corridor.

A P-DfMA approach ensures the highest quality, working with reduced tolerances which align with Passivhaus requirements..Reduced capital cost:.

The standardisation process reduces the volume of materials and the number of construction elements which in turn reduces the capital cost of the project.The repetition of components at a large scale can reduce the cost of standardised elements.. A Platforms digital workflow delivers tremendous improvements to the procurement process.Having all data centralised in a BIM model provides instant access to both the cost and availability of a project’s components, and creates a more direct relationship with the supply chain cutting down transaction costs..

Reduced programme:.The design of each assembly and junction can be pre-tested and individually certified to Passivhaus standards before being included within any design.

This approach facilitates the pre-certification of components, panelised systems, building systems for thermal/hygrothermal/airtightness performance, reducing design time and programme..

The repetition of detailing between projects means that a design library of pre-certified components is retained for future projects, making the design process more efficient and quicker..It creates opportunity.. To purchase this book, visit., Asia-Pacific Lead at Bryden Wood, talks to.
