Automated construction: boosting on-site productivity using a platform-based approach
In traditional construction, data is manually tweaked, but this human interpretation and intervention can break the compliance thread.
Let’s use the uncertainty to fuel a change in our processes and find a better way of doing things.Often it happens that opportunities have been with us all along, we were just too nervous to take them.
Now we find that our risk has increased anyway, and so we really have nothing left to lose..If we can just expand our minds and ambition, the only thing left is to gain.. John Dyson, who works closely with Bryden Wood, is ex VP of Capital Strategy at GSK and currently Professor of Human Enterprise at the University of Birmingham..

http://bit.ly/BWNewsUpdatesPeople often ask me why the majority of the staff in Bryden Wood’s Singapore office are data analysts.I suppose it seems counter-intuitive for a firm focused on design and engineering for the built environment to put such stock in analytics.
This however is a key aspect of Bryden Wood’s Design to Value approach and for me has always seemed like a natural extension of our long-term quest to deliver better design through a deeper understanding of how buildings really work.. Others at Bryden Wood have already.
written extensively.It’s worth stressing again that standardisation in construction is not a negative, and it’s not unique to platform design either.
We’ve found that most clients want a certain level of standardisation.The Department for Education knows exactly what the best performing teaching space looks like.
Most residential developers have a pattern book of apartments, which are best suited for their needs.They don’t want to design from scratch each time.
