It’s good that people talk about construction tech – that creates an environment broadly open to tech – but that’s not the same as being able to actually use it..

Plenty for the group to discuss and action when it meets again later this year..But as we have also seen over the last 20 years, healthcare priorities can be affected by political and social as much as natural changes.. We are also faced with a climate crisis that requires every building to be designed and built for reduction in both embodied and operational carbon..

The best response is to create the most efficient, flexible and adaptable design.The efficient use of materials is core to the Platforms approach, which naturally tends to the leanest and most compact design by optimising every element, eliminating approximation and allowances, and taking every opportunity to reduce inefficiency and waste.. Technology in all areas.

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.
