Sustainable building materials and platform construction.
The superstructure is highly dimensionally accurate, with fixings designed in to enable high levels of accuracy in the complementary elements that attach to it.This accuracy reduces the need for tolerance between interfaces, which is where issues often occur.
On The Forge, the tolerance was reduced to.5mm over a 9m bay..This accuracy also unlocks existing, but underutilised capabilities in the supply chain, encouraging optimisation of their products too.
In fact, a range of complementary elements have already been developed and delivered on The Forge..Developing the façade solution around the structural platform at an early stage, allowed us to really optimise the use of materials and detailing and create the most efficient units for handling in the factory and on-site..

Accuracy in installation is achieved via factory conditions on site:.
Standardised platforms and components.The use of the same components across sectors allows the possibility of repurposing buildings – so an office block can later be turned into residential with relatively little intervention.. Digital design makes it all possible.
In all of this, digital is our strongest ally.Our ability at Bryden Wood to model using unusually large and varied data sets gives us a uniquely multi-dimensional perspective on problems.
It means we can iterate, learn and iterate again.We can test multiple scenarios and identify risk and opportunity.
