Defining Reference Design.

Although it can be challenging in a competitive environment to work out what to share and what to hold back, history has shown us that change happens faster, more effectively, and at lower cost if we work together.Industry players will always be in a better position by working with their competitors to overcome shared challenges, moving forwards collectively and then beginning to compete on the delivery side and what comes next.

In this way, the industry will become more effective, sustainable and even profitable over time.. Our strength is in our built environment, and our recovery from everything we’ve been through across the past few years will require the right infrastructure to move us forward.This is our unique moment of opportunity to shape the future of construction and positively impact our built environment for years to come, garnering government support and avoiding massive problems ahead.We must stop and ask ourselves, if not now, when?.

While there are pockets of the ecosystem pushing technology in areas like DfMA, Kanban and Just-in-Time (JIT) systems, the majority of construction remains relatively undigitalised.

At Bryden Wood, we’ve long been committed to the pursuit of digital innovation and construction technology.The standards for daylight in residential buildings, for instance, have always been lower than in workspaces, and overheating is a growing phenomenon in new homes in the UK.

With the changes in working patterns, it is possible that post-pandemic size, layouts, daylight and thermal requirements of residential buildings evolve to accommodate spaces better suited to work..Improving indoor air quality and hygiene.

The impact of the pandemic and the interest in wellbeing, combined with higher pollution levels in urban areas, have increased the importance of improving indoor and outdoor air quality..In order to improve outdoor pollution, local planning policies in some areas of the UK are requesting that buildings become air quality neutral and even air quality positive.
