This accuracy also unlocks existing, but underutilised capabilities in the supply chain, encouraging optimisation of their products too.

There are elements of some processes that are unique and so will require a bespoke built solution.But there are also many elements that are, or could be, automated or standardised across multiple processes in one or more sectors and industries.

Discovering standardisation adds its own value; not having to reinvent the wheel with every project; being able to apply the learning gathered from previous projects to the current one; and resource and cost efficiencies in all stages of design and production..The benefits of standardisation are visible every day in the manufacturing industry, at global scale.At Bryden Wood, we bring them to construction.

We used the principles of Design to Value described above to define a standard set of components and assembly techniques which form the basis of a huge range of buildings, from residential to industrial architecture.. We called this a Platforms approach to Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA).. Our Platform construction work.is well documented and has been endorsed by the UK government for use across its development programme.. Evidencing the benefits of Design to Value.

We are currently on site in central London with.

, constructing a major commercial office design development using Platforms construction, which is already showing exceptional environmental gains, for example: a 40% reduction in steel used; a forecast 19.4% reduction in embodied carbon per square metre, a 36.4% carbon reduction in the substructure and 20.2% in the superstructure and façade..He has been involved in a variety of different schemes since he joined the company for clients including GlaxoSmithKline, Heathrow Terminal 3 and Circle on the concept design for a new private hospital in Birmingham.

All the projects have been developed through the use of BIM (Building Information Modelling) for seamless co-ordination and production of information, through to delivery on site, controlling the flow of information and delivery with a view to dramatically improving efficiency in design and delivery.Following a Master’s dissertation on healthcare architecture, Martina joined Bryden Wood and quickly established a key role in our healthcare team.. Martina now leads the.architectural team.

for the 19,000m.Circle Birmingham Hospital.
