The project also offered the added benefit of attracting digital natives into housing construction.

The goal is to harmonise, digitalise and rationalise demand across industry projects and programmes.By creating standardised products and components, driven by Design for Value principles and Platform construction methodologies, we can harness the benefits of manufacturing and DfMA for the good of the industry and wider society..

The role of the Transforming Construction Challenge.The Construction Innovation Hub is funded through UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and the Construction Sector Deal as part of the Transforming Construction Challenge.The Challenge aims to speed up the changes paramount to our future success, embracing manufacturing techniques, both in the supply chain and on-site, as well as expanding the use of digital technologies to foster project efficiency, design, feedback and assurance..

The goal of the Transforming Construction Challenge is to use construction technology and DfMA to maximise the whole-life value of assets and to deliver those broader social value, environmental and economic outcomes we seek.The Construction Innovation Hub focuses on these key themes, as it seeks to address the way buildings and infrastructure are procured, designed, delivered and operated with the context of a Design for Value approach.. Industry partners.

The Hub works collaboratively with industry, government, academia and partners.

These include the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC), the Building Research Establishment (BRE), the Cambridge Center for Digital Built Britain (CDBB), and other industry partners, including tech-powered design firm, Bryden Wood.We apply leading-edge technology to our work across sectors as diverse as housing and underground railways, developing digital solutions that do what digital does best: discover and manage large amounts of disparate data, and create intelligent, efficient outputs.. For hospitals, this may mean managing patient flow through appointments and waiting times, or making sure that people can follow their entire treatment journey (including the physical one from the car park to the treatment room) on their phone.. As with design, engineering and construction, digital expertise is part of the Bryden Wood package.. Design to Value is our driving principle as a company.

Its application to healthcare delivers exceptional results.We’re very proud to be working across healthcare in the UK to advance the next generation of hospitals.. To learn about our Design to Value approach and Modern Methods of Construction, sign up for our monthly newsletter here:.
