She believes the heart of this may come from the fact that “data is the new oil, the new currency.”.
The creation of our built environment is.a multi-dimensional and fluid matrix of dependencies and consequences.
No element can be viewed or managed in isolation..But over a number of decades, the process of delivering built assets has become fragmented.Responsibility, risk and reward are increasingly split among an array of organisations whose interests are not aligned, and whose view of a project is unhelpfully narrow.. As a result, value is diluted at every stage and clients end up with built assets that are simply not as good as they should be..
There is a better way, and that is to Design to Value (DtV).. Design to Value.Adopting a Design to Value approach means understanding that the most efficient route to the most efficient solution is first to make sure you analyse and understand the commercial opportunity (or requirement) from every angle.
Metrics such as capital cost and return on investment, for example, don’t define how well an asset functions in the world.
There is much more to it than that.‘I work alongside Mechanical and Electrical Engineers,’ says Charlie, ‘modelling their design into Revit and producing drawings and 3D models...Depending on the project, I also attend project meetings and may even visit site.’.
Hall is enthusiastic about his apprenticeship role at Bryden Wood, describing how the experience has not only fulfilled his expectations, but also advanced his ambitions.‘I was always interested in engineering.
I was unsure about what type of engineering I wanted to go into, but I kept my options open and looked into all aspects of engineering… The idea of an apprenticeship appealed to me massively because I would be gaining work experience in a subject I enjoy and earning at the same time.’.Hall spent the first year of his apprenticeship working at Bryden Wood whilst attending Oakwoods college one day per week, completing his PEO in Engineering.
