So our chances of finding the optimum solution are increased when compared to more linear design approaches..

Too often the ‘now’ trumps the ‘future state’.. We know construction costs have spiralled and variable costs have made the industry think too short-term.This creates ripples in the supply chain and a focus on immediate, urgent problems.. We need to implement more long-term planning to prevent common issues happening repeatedly.

This will be challenging, but as time goes on and datasets improve, reactivity will get quicker, and the process will stabilise as construction supply chain information becomes more freely available.. 3.Sadly, we don’t have a ‘truth serum’ but improving transparency and consistency of supply chain data improves productivity and planning.. At the moment, suppliers and contractors fix certain problems and course-correct without ever needing to be transparent.. We need a platform that integrates different data sets from different suppliers so we can see and trend what’s going on within the supply chain and create more formal accountability on information being reported..Bringing data into one place and organising it around packages will give owners a single pane of glass through which to visualise what’s going on between the planning side and the production side of the supply chain.. A deeper understanding of the supply chain enables everyone to see patterns in the availability of products, to ask the right questions, and to plan better.. 4.

Standardising areas of variance and stepping away from totally bespoke designs is key..The perfect future is a ‘data clearing house’ where minor design modifications to better align with supply chain data can transform productivity..

The key to achieving this is better communication between owners and suppliers, where the supply chain can offer equivalent alternatives and remove some ‘bespokeness’ from the process..

If we issue the same design intent multiple times but continue to detail it in slightly different ways, the result is lots of slightly different projects, all with different supply chains.The kit of parts of the entire project.

To purchase this book, visit.Engineered timbers such as cross-laminated timber (CLT) or glued laminated timber (glulam) are made from small pieces of wood glued together, without knots or other imperfections, resulting in a better and more reliable product than natural timber.These products have been available for decades but have gained popularity in recent years as a sustainable alternative to traditional materials like steel and concrete.. At Bryden Wood, we’re continually exploring the use of sustainable materials and are committed to the delivery of ‘honest’ buildings where all technical challenges are well-known, and thoroughly analysed and addressed to avoid unwanted architectural or environmental impacts in design and operation.. Our design approach supports construction systems where each component is designed for purpose, without the need for additional redundant materials that generate unnecessary waste or additional embodied carbon.
