Manufacturing construction: special report - the B1M

We then proved the concept on the design and delivery of The Forge, a commercial building for Landsec, the first ‘platform’ building..

As an industry, we have a moral obligation to do better.The current opportunity for transformation and progress in construction has arrived at a critical time..

Evaluating Risk and Driving Value.That said, there will be risks going forward and we need to guard against them.We’ve got to try and avoid bad practices -and report them.

In terms of implementing policy decisions, we need to provide more evidence, more data, more measurement.

It’s vital that we’re able to demonstrate clearly that these new ways of operating will deliver the outcomes we seek.Our work in healthcare has recently culminated in the completion of the Circle Birmingham hospital which delivered a state-of-the-art new facility for 30% less cost than comparable hospitals.. Data analytics is one key reason we can achieve such major cost advantages on projects delivered in this way.

By gaining a much deeper understanding of project and process requirements early on, we can quickly settle on a functional solution and start thinking about the most efficient construction method (and opportunities for introducing DfMA) far sooner than would be conventionally possible.. DIGITAL, DATA AND CLIENT COLLABORATION IS THE FUTURE OF CONSTRUCTION.At every step in this process, the use of digital tools to visualise and interpret data is instrumental to engaging with client-side stakeholders in a truly collaborative working environment.

Our analysts will often become embedded in client teams, building our process understanding while at the same time the client becomes embedded in our design team, allowing us to reach a shared agreement of what the best possible solution looks like.. Having been static and traditional for so long, the construction industry today is fast-paced and evolving in many ways.Bryden Wood is at the forefront of that change and we see data analytics as playing an ever more important role in a smarter, more productive and digitally enabled future..
