Delivery platforms for government assets

Delivery Platforms for Government Assets: creating a marketplace for manufactured spaces was written and published in 2017 by Bryden Wood Director Jaimie Johnston MBE, to define and inform the thinking around the development of a platforms design (P-DfMA) approach to construction. The book focuses on the opportunity, and benefits, of applying the platform design approach to the scale and scope of the UK Government's construction portfolio.

It was a precursor to the reviews and policies that followed, including;

• Transforming Infrastructure Performance, from the Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) in 2017.
• Off-site manufacture for construction: Building for change, a report from the House of Lords Science and Technology Select Committee.
• The formation of the Construction Innovation Hub in 2018 and its Defining the Need report, published in 2020.
• Transforming Performance and Productivity in the Construction Industry, from the Maufacturing Technology Centre in 2019.
• the UK Government's The Construction Playbook: Government guidance on sourcing and contracting public works projects and programmes, in 2020.
• the IPA's Transforming Infrastructure Performance: Roadmap to 2030, published in 2021.

The second edition of Delivery Platforms for Government Assets, updated principally in format and design rather than content, was published in 2021.
