Johnston elaborates, commenting on the high level of integration between the structural, MEP, architectural finishes, electrical, data etc… All of this, he says, allowed Bryden Wood ‘to create a high level of prefabricated MEP (building in ease of maintenance and replacement) interfacing with a highly systemised superstructure.’.
The path to a sustainable future.. With the growing interest in net zero buildings and sustainable construction, Bryden Wood have developed and implemented their own hierarchy to reduce both operational and embodied carbon.These hierarchies define the roadmap to achieve good and best practice performance targets defined by bodies such as LETI, RIBA or GLA.
An essential part of the hierarchy, and one of the key focuses of Bryden Wood’s design approach is DfMA, which enables substantial embodied carbon reduction and creates synergies to further reduce operational carbon.The implementation of DfMA combined with energy efficiency measures, specification of low carbon materials and carbon offset measures is the proposed pathway to the delivery of successful net zero carbon buildings..

Where is the value in ‘construction technology’, ‘generative design’ or ‘automation in construction’?
With design automation and construction tech set to transform the industry, where does the Creative Technologies team at Bryden Wood fit in?What's your driving purpose?.
Good design is tough.
Making good design automation software is tough as well..The most efficient route to the most efficient solution is first to make sure you analyse and understand a project from every angle.
Maximising the value of an asset is finding the right balance of a wide range of criteria.. Design to Value is well understood and applied in the manufacturing industries.It leads to objective analysis of every aspect of a process, every element of resource requirement, energy consumption, knowledge, and cost.
It leads to testing of the value parameters each of these elements is being measured against.It is rigorous, logical and data-driven.
