In its initial configuration a building might function as an office block, but components could be taken out and the building changed into a residential building or school.
It is rigorous, logical and data-driven.. Design to Value may lead to a solution that is very different to the one initially conceived, but it will be a solution that is fully thought through, appropriate and complete.A built asset that delivers value across the piece.
This leads to wide-ranging benefits: cost-savings, increases in speed, quality and safety, and the creation of more sustainable buildings with projects delivering greater social value.. Digital design: using construction technology to iterate and refine.Our approach at Bryden Wood is rooted in a Design to Value methodology.We dismantle a process rigorously until we reduce it to its smallest components.
Then we call on a breadth and depth of expertise to optimise every component, so that when we combine them in the complete solution, the whole will operate to the maximum efficiency of all of its parts.. We use construction technology to create a digital model of every component, containing as much value data as we can source, ranging from energy consumption to physical space requirements to expected lifespan to cost.In the digital design environment, we experiment with a huge number of permutations of components, introducing variables, then measuring, iterating and refining, over and again..
Adopting this Design to Value approach, enables us to see how small changes in one component can have a dramatic consequence at a later stage.
And conversely, we can trace inefficiencies and anomalies back to their source.The process of delivering built assets has become fragmented.
As a result, value is diluted at every stage.. Design to Value – a unifying approach.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.
