For example, floor-to-floor heights are relatively standard across a variety of different buildings: schools, hospital wards, apartment buildings and certain office types.
Our PRiSM housing design app is just one such tool.PRiSM brings speed and insight to the housing design process by harnessing the benefits of standardisation and automation, whilst promoting creativity and flexibility.. Our primary goal when we developed PRiSM was to help democratise the knowledge around Precision Manufactured Housing (PMH), a term which refers to homes designed and built using MMC principles.
PMH homes can be built up to twice as fast and to a higher standard than those built with traditional construction methods.When we talk about using MMC techniques (platform construction, panelised, volumetric etc.), what we’re actually referring to is the ability to manufacture significant portions of the building offsite in more controlled factory conditions, using repeatable processes, followed by safe and rehearsed assembly onsite.
Working this way reduces time and labour, while increasing quality.. PRiSM 1.0 - Working Together for Better Housing in London.The PRiSM project was completed in 2019 and launched in conjunction with residential consultancy Cast.
Funding was provided by the Mayor of London with additional support from.
Transport for London, L&Q, Legal & General Modular Homes and Greystar.. PRiSM has many different practical uses and benefits, but at a very fundamental level, the app can be seen as a launch point for digital residential design.Hall is enthusiastic about his apprenticeship role at Bryden Wood, describing how the experience has not only fulfilled his expectations, but also advanced his ambitions.
‘I was always interested in engineering.I was unsure about what type of engineering I wanted to go into, but I kept my options open and looked into all aspects of engineering… The idea of an apprenticeship appealed to me massively because I would be gaining work experience in a subject I enjoy and earning at the same time.’.
Hall spent the first year of his apprenticeship working at Bryden Wood whilst attending Oakwoods college one day per week, completing his PEO in Engineering.Following this, he advanced to study for a Level 3 BTEC in Engineering.
