The ability platforms give designers to consider and integrate all pertinent data in the earliest design concepts, mean that they can also consider operational efficiency.. On Landsec, the M&E solutions considered ease of cleaning and replacement.

There is enough diversity within the industry to allow people to thrive in all different aspects.. What makes Bryden Wood different is that they aren’t afraid to try things.They aren’t afraid to rip up the rule book and say, ‘Why are we doing it this way?’ That’s what I like.

I like the way that they will look at something and say, ‘Right, ok. How can we make this better?’.Also, with the DfMA aspects - making sites safer, making it so that pieces of the F frame for example...are lightweight and can be easily put into place (that it can be built like an IKEA piece of furniture on the deck and lifted in), that’s what I like.I like the way that we don’t say no to anything.'.

ROSA GIMENO, DIRECTOR, ARCHITECTURE.‘I think that finding women working in construction now is much more normal than it was years ago, especially in the architecture sector.

Here at Bryden Wood, there’s no differentiation at all.

We actually even have some design teams that are all women.These experts are actively involved in the definition and search for solutions on an equal footing with the engineering and architectural people who would normally be considered part of the project team.. We also use an iterative approach to pharmaceutical facility design, recognising that good solutions emerge from exploration of all the options.

So our chances of finding the optimum solution are increased when compared to more linear design approaches..There are four principles that enable us to operate in this way:.

A common language allows people with diverse areas of expertise, including those not normally involved in design and construction, to participate fully in design decisions.This is much more effective than a conventional approach where you might produce engineering drawings or documentation and then hand them to a user group who will then take additional time to review and pass comment.
