Next came the question of how best to approach obtaining the information.
We haven’t previously placed value on things like sustainable design and this has led us into some of the issues we’re now facing, like climate change.As a result, we need to look at broadening out the outcomes we expect to get from construction projects, both now and in the future.
We need to focus on the wider value piece.We’ve got to get under the skin of the client, or Government department, and understand what’s really valuable.Moving to a value-based process requires us to be braver.
It requires more innovation..Using process design thinking to highlight efficiency.
One thing which happens when working this way, is that we’re forced to approach projects differently.
Design to Value offers unique benefits but can also reveal some uncomfortable truths.. As an example: we were evaluating a brief to build a new carbonated drinks factory in Africa.Understand how reference design accelerates the entire project process, from site selection to design and procurement, reducing design fees, expediting procurement, and providing certainty to the supply chain.. Watch the video above and find out how Bryden Wood's reference design approach reshapes the construction landscape, benefiting all stakeholders involved and significantly reducing project timelines.
The video not only highlights the immediate advantages of this method but also ties it to broader themes like design automation and construction platform adoption.Some landmark buildings gain their status retrospectively, as their significance only reveals itself with the benefit of hindsight.Others are designed deliberately with the intention of being ‘iconic’..
In the case of the Forge, its landmark status comes as the culmination of many years of thinking and development, and the first embodied proof point of an approach to design and construction that has the potential to transform construction..In doing so, it delivers a raft of benefits to the built environment and, in particular through significant reductions in embodied and operational carbon, to society more broadly (the construction sector currently accounts for 38% of global carbon emissions)..
