Marks feels one beneficial change would come from the construction industry committing more broadly to seeking guidance from manufacturing professionals.

The students, who are in their final year as undergraduates or doing postgraduate studies in engineering, to a person, held a passion for positive change.When asked to compare their personal values with that of a business, they expressed how they wished to use their knowledge and skills to make a difference in the world.

I am sure this is magnified millions of times across the world.They are not naive, most already have served time in industry, but they each hold a set of values which I found profound and uplifting..The second reason to be hopeful comes whenever I investigate, look into, or hold discussions in and across many spheres.

I see and hear stories about people doing great things with an intent of making the world a better, more sustainable place in the most holistic sense.Specifically, I have had meetings with two of the organisations I partner with: my local Watermill Theatre, which, as well as producing truly magical theatre, has an outreach scheme that touches hundreds of lives, and the World Land Trust, which is actively protecting habitat and species diversity around the world.

With both organisations, we are looking at ways to work together to magnify our individual impact..

I see academics, businesses, and organisations of people focusing on the problems that face us, not just out of good intent but out of facing cold, hard realities.We can then explore what is technically achievable with construction Platforms, as well as what this looks like in a near-future state.

All of the technologies and initiatives we’ll outline here are underpinned by, or based around, the idea of using standardised, repeatable components.This convergence of components and processes unlocks the true power of digital, data and manufacturing.. D for design in DfMA: digital design tools, simulation and optimisation.

At Bryden Wood, we have developed digital configurators as early-stage design tools.This new construction technology enables a much faster design process than traditional methods.
