Bryden Wood’s analysis shows that the impact of the adoption of a Passivhaus system has a minimum impact in terms of embodied carbon.. To learn more about our Design to Value approach to design and construction, sign up for our monthly newsletter here:.
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.
Standardisation makes future maintenance easier.Where clients want the variability and flexibility is in the massing of the building, the articulation of the material choice and facade design.. We worked very hard with clients in the early stages to make sure that the construction Platforms we developed have enough variability in the areas which will facilitate maximum benefit.We want to have a Design to Value process which achieves exactly what is desired..
Tier 1 and the supply chain.Another benefit we see from DfMA construction is the evolution of a more direct relationship between the customer and their supply chain partners, cutting down on transactional costs and eliminating a lot of inefficiency.
The contractor’s role becomes more profitable and sophisticated – what we refer to as a manufacturing assembly manager.
We believe that going forward this role will put more effort into controlling logistics, supply chain etc… In fact, roles throughout the supply chain will change, becoming more efficient and more focused on driving value.. Meeting the needs of our clients.REM enables the early design stages of Smart Motorways Programme (SMP) schemes to be designed automatically.
In addition, we’ve devised a similar, digital framework for Network Rail.This variety of uses demonstrates the broad capabilities of these digital design tools, which are beneficial not only for buildings, but also for linear infrastructure on a greater, geospatial, country-wide level.. Our experience here tells us that rather than designing things from scratch in the future, more and more work will be done using algorithmic design.
For example, PRiSM allows us to generate a design very quickly.We can then use a range of simulation tools to optimise and refine the design, in order to deliver the best possible solution for a specific site.
