This approach means that, for M&E services, as well as across the whole project, we reduce cost, time, materials and waste, while increasing quality, worker safety and overall efficiency..
Approaches which modularise process plants and utilities move construction techniques into mass production techniques.Building platforms move us away from bespoke design and delivery into repeatable, lean methods of construction.
Approaches to standardisation and mass-customisation allow us to adapt solutions to the real world while protecting and massively improving productivity.These approaches are already being explored and applied across sectors.. We also know that we can achieve industrialisation within the context of a cherished natural world if we have the intent and the imagination..So, curiosity led me to a degree of anxiety at the size of task which confronts us, while also giving me flickers of hope that we have done, and can do, extraordinary things.
We need that hope and the energy that curiosity brings to imagine and realise the solutions..Professor John Dyson spent more than 25 years at GlaxoSmithKline, eventually ending his career as VP, Head of Capital Strategy and Design, where he focussed on developing a long-term strategic approach to asset management..
While there, he engaged Bryden Wood and together they developed the Front End Factory, a collaborative endeavour to explore how to turn purpose and strategy into the right projects – which paved the way for Design to Value.
He is committed to the betterment of lives through individual and collective endeavours.. As well as his business and pharmaceutical experience, Dyson is Professor of Human Enterprise at the University of Birmingham, focussing on project management, business strategy and collaboration.. Additionally, he is a qualified counsellor with a private practice and looks to bring the understanding of human behaviour into business and projects..

We must find ways to deliver what we need using much less.Optimisation of materials, better control of logistics, automation in construction, fewer people on site – all of these factors will help to create an overall lower carbon version of the built environment.
We’re already working hard with concrete manufacturers to find the lowest carbon form of concrete we can possibly use.We’re talking to steel manufacturers about the types of steel which will be made by electric arc furnaces powered by hydrogen fuel cells.
