Another example is Gavin Stark’s Icebreaker One project, which seeks to improve efficiency in data sharing.
For example, a warehouse can be made smaller by changing the delivery frequency or providing more in-process staging.Throughput can be increased by changing the shift pattern or by reallocating products onto under-utilised equipment.
New-build facility costs can be avoided by upgrading existing plants instead.There are many possible options for any business challenge and with digital simulations we can rapidly consider them and focus our attention on the best-performing ones.. DATA ANALYSIS DELIVERS A BETTER BUILT ENVIRONMENT.This approach is applicable not just to complex factories but to projects ranging from schools to offices, prisons, airports and others.
At Bryden Wood we use data analytics to deliver best-in-class designs in many building sectors.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.Innovative Construction Methodologies:.
The podcast delves into the potential of modern construction methodologies, such as offsite manufacturing and modular construction, to address industry-wide challenges like labour shortages, safety concerns, and environmental impact.Professor Whyte advocates for a standardised approach to components and systems, which can lead to improvements in quality, speed, and sustainability of construction projects.. 4.
Collaboration Across the Industry:.A recurring theme is the necessity for collaborative efforts among all stakeholders, including government, industry, and academia, to foster innovation and systemic change.
