Langley commends Maria’s role at the helm of the multidisciplinary project team, comprising a diverse range of specialists from architects, engineers and computational designers, to GIS specialists and other software developers.

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.. You can also listen to John talk about Process Engineering and Design to Value on Episode 3 of our podcast, Built Environment Matters,.

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.

about the importance of data and analytics in the design and construction industry.

A major aim of design, at least in my view, is to deliver an outcome that fulfils the client’s requirements in the best possible way.One benefit of standardising components and adopting a P-DfMA approach is that we can document the rules around those components.

This in turn means we’re able to automate the design process (to a certain level), or certainly automate the production of the BIM model.. Standardising components and digitising workflows enables architects and designers to spend more time generating ideas and better designs, more time performing simulation and testing.Once the optimal design for a site is decided upon, the digital model, already aware of the required mechanical electrical components, wall types, doors, structural components and so on, is able to generate a LOD 400 bill of materials quality BIM model very quickly.. It’s worth stressing that using modern methods of construction in this way doesn’t mean taking jobs away from people.

There’s so much to be designed!MMC will simply enable us to keep up with the needs of society.
