Consider the lifecycle of builds beyond completion: handing over all the information required to preserve the integrity of the build.
These spaces need adequate ventilation, therefore.They shouldn’t be overlooked just because people don’t spend a large portion of their day sitting in them.
This might well present its own challenges..The government recommends that all building owners and occupiers undertake a COVID-19 risk assessment before moving back into their office buildings.The health and safety of occupants is of paramount importance.
But this moment also gives you an opportunity to make small changes to the way your systems operate; to make meaningful improvements to the efficiency of systems, control your energy bills and limit the impact of increased ventilation on the environment.105 Sumner Street - designed for development by Landsec - will be the first major building completed using our Platform Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA) approach from building design to delivery.. P-DfMA is a versatile and customisable construction system for commercial, residential and other building types.. P-DfMA consists of common parts, all made from readily available materials, which have been designed to go together in rehearsed ways.Each part of the platform system has been designed to value based on its performance requirements..
This standard kit of parts can be configured to offer a broad range of building products without limiting design ambition.
Design effort can be spent where it adds the most value – creating places where people want to live and work.. 105 Sumner Street consists of two new-build commercial office buildings, built around a publicly accessible internal courtyard, in total comprising c. 135,000 sq ft.Streamlined project lifecycle:.
Understand how reference design accelerates the entire project process, from site selection to design and procurement, reducing design fees, expediting procurement, and providing certainty to the supply chain.. Watch the video above and find out how Bryden Wood's reference design approach reshapes the construction landscape, benefiting all stakeholders involved and significantly reducing project timelines.The video not only highlights the immediate advantages of this method but also ties it to broader themes like design automation and construction platform adoption.Some landmark buildings gain their status retrospectively, as their significance only reveals itself with the benefit of hindsight.
Others are designed deliberately with the intention of being ‘iconic’..In the case of the Forge, its landmark status comes as the culmination of many years of thinking and development, and the first embodied proof point of an approach to design and construction that has the potential to transform construction..
