Circle Reading: where clinical practicality meets build efficiency

Condensation can cause staining or mould growth on the building fabric, and saturate insulation layers, degrading their performance.

Social value is about people, be that the client, or the general public who happen to live or work close by..The Forge is a key example of how Bryden Wood’s approach to built assets allows us to deliver on all fronts.

As the first major building designed and delivered using our P-DfMA approach, it considers social value further than the conventional considerations of improved public realm, economic value and sustainability.It redefines it, in its approach to construction and the impact of that construction on the surrounding area..The Forge is designed to a zero carbon in use strategy, with a forecast a forecast 19.4% reduction in embodied carbon per square metre, a 36.4% carbon reduction in the substructure and 20.2% in the superstructure and façade.. As well as this, the construction system allows for a greater level of efficiency in the build, fewer materials, and a significant reduction in site operatives required for the superstructure and façade.

The programme has been reduced by 19%, allowing for an accelerated construction period and less disruption to the surrounding community and area.. A predicted 9.5% reduction in capital cost is a significant benefit of the system for the client, with the economic benefit for the area being 139,000 sq ft of high-quality commercial office space.. Placemaking.Our projects also look at tangible social benefits.

In the Churchwood Gardens project, it was placemaking that led the scheme and was key to the social value of the project.. Bryden Wood worked with Loromah Estates to transform a sloping, landlocked in-fill site in south London with a history of failed planning applications, into a thriving community of residential blocks set in a verdant landscape.

The back-land site had been undeveloped since the 1960s.. A sensitive approach to planning and active engagement with the surrounding residents through early-stage neighbourhood consultation was fundamental to the scheme’s success.The first is that someone might not be sure whether the data they’re looking for even exists, and the second involves the requirements under which the data was gathered.

It’s important to understand any inconsistencies there might be in the collection of data, because without understanding those types of quirks and failings, it’s hard to know how useful the data might be.Additionally, the further the data gets from its intended use, the less useful it is.

This is why digitising planning makes quite a good use case because, in theory, it’s a linear process..The next issue with data is governance, and the question of whether someone is allowed to share particular data.
