Bryden Wood’s UK industrialised construction luminary Jaimie Johnstone to present advanced DfMA practices this week in Melbourne and Sydney.
Emerging from the razor-sharp efficiencies of the aerospace and automotive industries, the methodology of Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) is gaining ground in the offsite construction space.
One of the UK’s leading DfMA thinkers, Jaimie Johnston MBE, Board Director and Head of Global Systems of Bryden Wood is visiting Australia this week to present his case for DfMA and its role in delivering cost savings, programme acceleration, productivity and safety improvements, better quality and reducing a construction projects carbon footprint.
Bryden Wood are a global company of creative technologists, designers, architects, engineers and analysts, and Jaimie Johnston joined them as employee #1 in 1995. He has established himself as a recognised authority on industrialised construction, working with government and private sector clients in the UK, US, Europe and Asia.
With his colleagues at Bryden Wood, Jaimie is the originator of Platforms approach to DfMA (P-DfMA) which seeks to reveal common sets of components that can be used on projects spanning multiple sectors and building typologies. The UK Government has also committed to implementing P-DfMA on its public sector projects.
Jaimie is the author of four books on DfMA, and is a leading advocate on the future of industrialised construction to promote and adopt manufacturing-led design and construction practices globally.
Jaimie was also the author of benchmark strategy documents that have been adopted as a foundation for the UK Government’s drive to create more productive, value-driven infrastructure and was awarded an MBE for services to construction in 2021.
Bryden Wood also established an Australian office in September 2022.
