At the end of its life, the various standardised components would be recycled, reused or redeployed, creating a circular economy.

This allows users to take a virtual reality walk through the process, to test the physical environment and anticipate any issues.It’s proven to be very helpful for people to be able to interact with a potential solution in this immersive way, making it much easier to articulate requirements and assess solutions.. Standardisation and automation in construction.

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.Alongside project focussed work at Bryden Wood, Richard is also responsible for contract and commercial management within the practice.Together with Mark Bryden, Martin founded Bryden Wood Associates in February 1995.. From 1989-95 Martin worked with Nicholas Grimshaw at Grimshaw Architects on a collection of the UK’s most influential buildings, several of which have become iconic examples of the ‘Hi-tech’ movement.

The 1990s saw significant change in the design and construction industry with the widespread adoption of computer aided design and methods of construction that are now commonplace.Martin was fortunate to be part of the vanguard and worked with some of the chief protagonists of 20th century design and engineering..

Since its inception, Martin has led Bryden Wood’s unremitting ambition to.beyond the common ‘value drivers’ of individual projects.
