Information handover at completion has traditionally been protracted, incomplete, and ‘file based’.

This video shows how we can go from concept to BIM in minutes, as demonstrated at Futurebuild 2020.We're proud that an above average 30%* of the Bryden Wood team are talented women.In advance of International Women's Day on the 8th March, we asked some of our female architects, engineers and designers to share their thoughts on being women in construction.. EVA MAGNISALI - HEAD OF ROBOTICS.

International Women’s Day is quite a big topic in the industry because there are more men in leading roles.It is more male dominated at the moment, but I don’t think it’s something that can’t change and I would say that it’s becoming more of a nice mix.I see more and more women participating, especially coming from academia and those joining the industry too..

The ethos of the office at Bryden Wood is very good and very strong in terms of letting everybody, both men and women, participate and provide opinions that are heard.. We’re working on a bigger effort here...trying to demystify the [robotics] technology for as many people as possible, so that we are all on the same page as we try to implement and adopt it within the construction industry...If we’re talking about offsite construction, automation is essential to scale up.

I think it’s really important to rethink the construction process and that’s where robotics and advanced fabrication technologies help.’.

ANNA KAPANI - COMPUTATIONAL DESIGNER.Thinking beyond standards, Design to Value can look at absolutes and even further can look for redemption.

The most significant and perhaps difficult question needed to be addressed in every project is: how can we not build things we don’t really need even if they have a financial return?A factory in Japan was due for closure and demolition as it no longer met the requirements for withstanding an earthquake after rules were changed following the earthquake and tsunami of 2011.

Studies to look at remediating the buildings had suggested the need to cease operations for 18 months, meaning the solution was unviable.Although the client was looking for the most efficient replacement factory, the Design to Value approach – combined with clever thinking and seismic modelling – came up with a solution to support the existing building.
