P-DfMA addresses numerous value drivers, the diagram below summarises some of the key aspects of the Building Safety Act, and how a platform approach aligns across the whole project lifecycle..

While, Barnet Leisure Centre also has a community and learner pool, alongside a health and fitness suite, health improvement rooms, a library, tennis courts and multi-use games area.. Use of BIM for lean, sustainable solutions.Working with the main contractor, Graham Construction, and sub contractor MSL Engineering Ltd, Bryden Wood made extensive use of BIM to solve the complex challenges to mechanical and electrical (M&E) engineers, such as heating large spaces, solving significant air handling challenges, mitigating the risk of condensation from the pools and managing CO. 2. levels efficiently in exercise areas.. Collaborative working.

Bryden Wood built a detailed BIM model for M&E, which was key to effective collaboration between all stakeholders from contractors to the client, Barnet Council.The virtual environment made it clear how a design detail or proposal would look, and fit, as you can see from the images.More importantly still, it showed all stakeholders how different systems and proposals would.

allowing many different solutions to be evaluated, so that the best one could be found.. Optimised energy use.Extensive environment modelling and energy analysis in the model was used to optimise energy use.

Carried out by Bryden Wood’s CIBSE accredited Low Carbon Consultants, it encompassed all key variables, such as air flow, condensation levels, and heat sources.

The energy efficiencies achieved through different design iterations can be seen in the chart.. After testing in the virtual environment, Photovoltaic (PV) roof panels, and Combined Power and Heat Units (CHP), were identified as the most efficient energy solutions.This digital shift not only enhances efficiency and collaboration but also opens new avenues for innovation in project analytics and stakeholder engagement.. 3.

Innovative Construction Methodologies:.The podcast delves into the potential of modern construction methodologies, such as offsite manufacturing and modular construction, to address industry-wide challenges like labour shortages, safety concerns, and environmental impact.

Professor Whyte advocates for a standardised approach to components and systems, which can lead to improvements in quality, speed, and sustainability of construction projects.. 4.Collaboration Across the Industry:.
