It’s a great space to work in.’ Whilst not having an external canalside view like the studios on the opposite side of the building, the central atrium floods the tables in the communal area outside their space with lots of natural light.
The structural platform developed as part of the R&D project will provide the chassis for the office floor space and the project will include the development of cladding and building services components to create a reusable kit-of-parts-based solution for offices..The project will validate and showcase the benefits that can be delivered using P-DfMA techniques, Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and digital technologies on a large-scale new build commercial office development.
It is designed to a ‘zero carbon in use’ strategy, and is already achieving gains:.efficiency: a predicted 9.5% reduction in capital cost, 13% reduction in programme, 40% reduction in steel used and 50% reduction in site operatives for superstructure and facade.sustainability: a forecast 19.4% reduction in embodied carbon per square metre, a 36.4% carbon reduction in the substructure and 20.2% in the superstructure and façade..
The Platform approach has been adopted by the Government and is the focus of the Construction Innovation Hub..The scale and ambition of Sumner Street will be a catalyst for change and a major step forward in proving the new business and financial metrics, whole life performance, and supply chain adoption needed – and deliverable – to accelerate the transformation of the construction sector..

This video shows how we can go from concept to BIM in minutes, as demonstrated at Futurebuild 2020.We're proud that an above average 30%* of the Bryden Wood team are talented women.choose between key suppliers for major equipment or specific materials required by fire codes etc.. We achieve this level of flexibility by thinking about the asset and the design in terms of ‘Chips’.
To create Chips, we break your assets, and the processes within them, down into the smallest, meaningful sets of interacting or interdependent components.Chips are created at all levels, from.
Simplest level e.g.single components that can be optimised for material efficiency.
