We throw two big parties per year in the atrium or the courtyard,’ says Kristi, ‘or sometimes we’ll just book a table in the local pub or our cafe.’ And it’s not just socials and yoga on offer, the management team are also looking to offer business help and guidance to the residents, ‘We’ve got a free talk coming up next week by a business coach, which will be great for the startups.

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.

We are currently on site in central London with., constructing a major commercial office design development using Platforms construction, which is already showing exceptional environmental gains, for example: a 40% reduction in steel used; a forecast 19.4% reduction in embodied carbon per square metre, a 36.4% carbon reduction in the substructure and 20.2% in the superstructure and façade..

In 2019, a new GSK facility started production in Parma, Italy.

The initial requirement was to design and build a pharmaceutical facility in 15 months that would usually have taken closer to three years to complete, in order to maintain supply of a life-saving treatment for people with HIV.structural engineering.
