The choice of vendor will then be dependent on what a client values more, which could be: cost; location (to limit travel miles); overall carbon footprint; or the number of apprentices they take on, for instance..

While there are pockets of the ecosystem pushing technology in areas like DfMA, Kanban and Just-in-Time (JIT) systems, the majority of construction remains relatively undigitalised.At Bryden Wood, we’ve long been committed to the pursuit of digital innovation and construction technology.From our digital design configurator apps for schools and housing, to our transformational, cross-sector work with platform construction (P-DfMA), our goal is to use smart tech to advance a better built environment.
We’re always excited to talk to other industry players who share our goals, focus and passion for modern methods of construction, driving improvement by embracing change and leaning into construction tech.. We caught up with Craig Lamont, Chief Commercial Officer for Australian digital specialists, asBuilt, and found out how they’re using construction technology in smart and unconventional ways onsite.Lamont doesn’t believe construction’s lack of digitalisation is caused by a lack of industry uptake of technology.
Instead, he thinks it’s because the industry is oversubscribed to the idea of finding a silver bullet to solve all the ills of a construction site.
asBuilt believes that the solutions needed by the sector are already available, and that by unlocking sites via technological empowerment of the workforce, the use of construction technologies like spatial mapping and IoT, and a shift in thinking toward humanity and long-term value, we have the power to truly advance the industry for the betterment of everyone involved..Figure 3: Daylight rendering.

Wellbeing and residential buildings.Bryden Wood was the lead designer of Churchwood Gardens, described by the Housing Design Awards 2020 judges as ‘genius’.. Churchwood Gardens is a nature-centred residential development in London, which features multiple innovative design strategies and is a good example of a healthy residential design.
The project adopted a holistic approach to sustainability with a wide range of design for wellbeing strategies, summarised below:.Better daylight levels are achieved with healthy architecture principles.
