We’ve never sought to patent our work and we have open sourced the code for both of our construction design apps - SEISMIC and PRISM.

It must be able to respond not only to its own changing requirements, but those of local and neighbouring environments, populations and infrastructure.As we have seen over 2020, those changes can be radical and terrifyingly fast.

But as we have also seen over the last 20 years, healthcare priorities can be affected by political and social as much as natural changes.. We are also faced with a climate crisis that requires every building to be designed and built for reduction in both embodied and operational carbon..The best response is to create the most efficient, flexible and adaptable design.The efficient use of materials is core to the Platforms approach, which naturally tends to the leanest and most compact design by optimising every element, eliminating approximation and allowances, and taking every opportunity to reduce inefficiency and waste.. Technology in all areas.

We apply leading-edge technology to our work across sectors as diverse as housing and underground railways, developing digital solutions that do what digital does best: discover and manage large amounts of disparate data, and create intelligent, efficient outputs.. For hospitals, this may mean managing patient flow through appointments and waiting times, or making sure that people can follow their entire treatment journey (including the physical one from the car park to the treatment room) on their phone.. As with design, engineering and construction, digital expertise is part of the Bryden Wood package.. Design to Value is our driving principle as a company.Its application to healthcare delivers exceptional results.

We’re very proud to be working across healthcare in the UK to advance the next generation of hospitals.. To learn about our Design to Value approach and Modern Methods of Construction, sign up for our monthly newsletter here:.

It's the intelligent bit and the bit that adds value.. Chips are enabling tools that do a lot of work and add a lot of value.Within our wider Design to Value approach and methodology, they provide a common language for all the people involved in a project, they enable collaboration and the rapid development and testing of multiple ideas.

We've seen the benefits they deliver..Using the same concept to enable advanced and automated design will only multiply those benefits.. To learn more about our Design to Value approach, sign up for our monthly newsletter here:.
