Façade engineering - adding value for clients and partners

We’ve found that most clients want a certain level of standardisation.

If we can just expand our minds and ambition, the only thing left is to gain.. John Dyson, who works closely with Bryden Wood, is ex VP of Capital Strategy at GSK and currently Professor of Human Enterprise at the University of Birmingham.. You can also listen to John talk about Process Engineering and Design to Value on Episode 3 of our podcast, Built Environment Matters,.If you'd like to continue to learn about our Design to Value approach and Modern Methods of Construction, sign up for our monthly newsletter here:.

http://bit.ly/BWNewsUpdatesPeople often ask me why the majority of the staff in Bryden Wood’s Singapore office are data analysts.I suppose it seems counter-intuitive for a firm focused on design and engineering for the built environment to put such stock in analytics.This however is a key aspect of Bryden Wood’s Design to Value approach and for me has always seemed like a natural extension of our long-term quest to deliver better design through a deeper understanding of how buildings really work.. Others at Bryden Wood have already.

written extensively.about the importance of data and analytics in the design and construction industry.

A major aim of design, at least in my view, is to deliver an outcome that fulfils the client’s requirements in the best possible way.

It follows that if we can accumulate data about what our clients are seeking to achieve and analyse the data to generate insights to inform our design process, the better the result will be.. UNDERSTANDING COMPLEX PHARMACEUTICAL AND INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES.And there are other benefits, such as the ability to minimise tolerances.

In our work with Crossrail we designed to zero tolerance with very good success.This unlocks vast potential in terms of manufacturing a better quality of building - structures which are more air- and weather-tight, energy efficient and overall better performing.

Further, standardisation allows us to do a better job of integrating our mechanical and electrical engineering systems, which then has the knock-on effect of reducing the overall volume of a building by 30-40%.As the building gets smaller, so does the air handling plant.
