The impact of going digital

“That’s what’s actually changing this.

projects get delivered more reliably to scope, cost and time.While this is an important measure the big prize is in securing the delivery to a wider set of value drivers.. Never a fan of extolling a particular flavour or brand of approach, I am much more interested in the ingredients and the principles of any approach.

For me, there are a number of foundations that make IPD valuable: -.Each party does what they are best at and this includes the client.Having spent many years in projects I realised that our allocation of work is so often skewed by a mode of thinking and processes that ultimately destroys value.

We design detailed pipework with a one-stop-shop engineering company only to go through the ignominy of having it completely redesigned by the fabricator with the knowledge of manufacturing and construction.We allow designers to make educated guesses for design decisions only for subject matter experts to critique and change.

Finding ways to get the right people to do the right work at the right time is the first principle of an integrated approach.. Design is not a linear and regressive process.

My second principle is the same principle that I have written about in relation to AI and general intelligence.Learn about the cyclical nature of improvement in reference design, where lessons learned from ongoing operations are integrated into future iterations, fostering continual enhancement rather than constant reinvention.. Strategic site selection and design optimisation:.

Explore how reference design aids in rapid site viability testing and decision-making, optimising design while ensuring compliance with technical standards..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.
