What we do is make DfMA a priority, a driving principle.. M&E in construction.

A design configurator uses codified rules and libraries of components to rapidly generate coordinated and compliant designs.Rapid iteration of lab design.

Fast Lab connects a range of inputs, models, and outputs to enable rapid iteration and collaboration between stakeholders.Reduce lab design time.Fast Lab aims to reduce the initial lab design time from months down to weeks.

While all stages of a lab construction project can undoubtedly be accelerated, in our experience the biggest gains are to be found during the earliest stages of a project.. Fast Lab is a service by Bryden Wood that aims to accelerate the lab specification, design, and internal approval process, so that permitting, procurement, and construction can start as quickly as possible, and with a design that is less likely to change and cause future delay.Fast Lab achieves this by:.

Translating scientific and technological requirements into a lab design and key project and business metrics.. Exploiting the standardisation opportunities across all life science lab projects..

Enabling a rapid and iterative design process.. Providing inputs and feedback to/from all stakeholders (e.g.between the BaU scheme and the as-built performance of the P-DfMA scheme.

This is a significant improvement which can be attributed to both the use of DfMA and the low carbon specification of materials..Embodied carbon comparisons.

The breakdown on a whole life basis (the embodied carbon both on day one and ongoing across the next 60 years, accounting for any maintenance and repairs and what happens when the building or components are at their end of life), shows the superstructure, external wall including curtain walling, and MEP to be the predominant contributors to the whole life carbon.These are the main areas where lessons can be learned on how to reduce embodied carbon.. As-built embodied carbon analysis.
