Despite the availability of the technology since the 1980s, the construction industry has been much slower to apply these methods; most likely due to the nature of building design, with one-time projects using many unique elements and few repeatable processes.. Discrete Event Simulation (DES) is a method of modelling a system by evaluating a series of activities at the time they occur, or by evaluation at set points in time (every second, for example) with no change assumed to have occurred between the time steps.

, or read our 5 Key Takeaways from this episode below.... 1.Unique structure of Lendlease.Lendlease distinguishes itself by integrating investment, development, and construction within its business model.
This holistic approach, involving their own capital in projects, sets them apart from competitors and allows for more control and efficiency across the entire project lifecycle.. 2.Digital transformation with Podium.
Lendlease has established a digital business called Podium to leverage their comprehensive involvement in the building lifecycle.
This initiative aims to develop proprietary software that enhances productivity and efficiency, promoting a seamless integration of digital strategies into construction processes.. 3.At Bryden Wood we have, over time, developed a cross-disciplinary approach in response to this reality and the need to design towards the process – to rationalise, coordinate and develop a fully integrated design solution.
Our team includes technologists, designers, architects, engineers and analysts, because it’s vital that we apply these new principles throughout.To begin with a traditional design process and then, at a later stage, attempt to retrofit some form of DfMA means compromising the design to make it fit the system, or creating a non-optimised, inefficient system – resulting in a disadvantaged built asset.. Kit-of-parts architecture.
In addition, where the design and construction industry tends to focus on the differences between sectors - segmenting itself into deep specialisms and viewing particular elements in isolation, we must instead switch our focus to commonality, anchoring the design and build process in similarities, not differences.P-DfMA achieves this goal.
