Defining the Need Report.
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.At Bryden Wood we have many industrial clients who are concerned with transforming raw materials into new products through complex processes.
Our data analysts engage directly with clients to collect information about their processes and produce complex time-based models to simulate them and quantify the required inputs and resulting outputs..
This analytical work is diverse, ranging from a recent optimisation study for a pharmaceutical plant in Singapore, to a strategy for scaling up commercial supply of a new product, to investigating the likely production timescales for a future COVID-19 vaccine..We were astonished at how easily and intuitively they were able to use it.. It’s vital that we change the perception of the construction industry and focus on attracting young talent into it.
We must make it clear that construction is an exciting, vital industry - one where these young people can put their existing skills to use in an enjoyable and rewarding way.But most of all, we must collectively rise to our own potential.
We must embrace modern methods of construction, including P-DfMA, to move ourselves safely and efficiently into the next stage of the modern world.. To learn more about P-DfMA and Modern Methods of Construction, listen to Episode 1 of our podcast, Built Environment Matters: Platform Construction & Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA).https://bit.ly/BrydenWoodPodcast.
