At Bryden Wood we have, over time, developed a cross-disciplinary approach in response to this reality and the need to design towards the process – to rationalise, coordinate and develop a fully integrated design solution.

We have things like the Value Toolkit coming out of The Construction Innovation Hub.The question is, how do we help governments make choices that support their ambitions?

Value drivers aren’t exactly the same from one country to the next, and so we’ll need to help them make choices based on what’s best for their own local needs, projects and communities..Although our technical services and products are becoming increasingly exportable and marketable, we need a more cohesive and collaborative approach regarding how we bring that UK construction value proposition to market.It may be that BIM unlocks value, or value unlocks finance, or finance unlocks BIM, but there is a real chance to develop a ‘UK brand’ construction approach that we can sell internationally.

We don’t want to compete on how cheaply we can provide labor and concrete.We want to compete on how much value we can add, and how we can help support the delivery of infrastructure and development plans of economies throughout the world..

There can be no doubt that the UK has a crucial role to play in shaping the future of the construction industry.Keeping heat gains down in summer will help reduce the cooling load of the building, and give the cooling systems a fighting chance of keeping us at a comfortable temperature.

Social distancing measures will help reduce internal heat gain, as there will be fewer people using fewer computers in each office.Blinds on the windows can help to reduce heat gain from the sun.

And making sure that the lighting controls are working properly can reduce the lighting load (which also creates heat) during bright days..Desk fans help to reduce the perceived temperature by around 2. o.
