Bryden Wood to plant Design for Manufacture roots in Singapore

摘要

BIM and Design for Manufacture specialist Bryden Wood is to set up a representative office in Singapore. The new office is a response to government-level backing for DfM strategies in the construction sector, which is a reaction to the city state's political decision to reduce its dependence on migrant labour, and the introduction of a system of levies and quotas for construction companies. "The Singapore government is saying we no longer want to be dependent on labour from overseas, so it's now mandating the number of people you can have on site," said Bryden Wood director Jaimie Johnston. "So either the project takes longer, or you come up with a DfM ideas, so it's hopefully fertile ground for us. They've already started on a BIM journey, now they're using it to drive DfM."
