Automation in construction: an off-site case study of the FASTtruss system with DES

undertaken in Hamburg for our recent book.

We apply the principles of our Design to Value approach internally as well as externally, because we know the exceptional value it creates..If you'd like to continue to learn about our Design to Value approach and Modern Methods of Construction, sign up for our monthly newsletter here:.

http://bit.ly/BWNewsUpdatesWhen we talk about process engineering, it’s common to focus on the design and optimisation of industrial processes.People tend to think about pharmaceuticals, or the manufacturing industry.However, at Bryden Wood, we believe the topic is actually much wider than that.

Process engineering can equally be applied to procedures with a social or service outcome.Essentially, whenever there is a desired result, there’s a process which must be implemented to achieve it.. For example, in airports, passengers must move through a system of check-in, security and boarding, before they’re able to fly.

In hospitals, patients go from a consultation to testing and diagnosis, before they receive treatment.

With process engineering, what we’re really talking about is putting systems in place in order to achieve particular goals and facilitate outcomes..Embracing lean construction:.

Iris emphasises the importance of this approach for the built environment.She explains that lean construction aims to deliver exactly what the customer wants in the shortest time with minimal waste, though achieving this requires balancing often conflicting objectives.

Her insights into lean construction as a mindset, rather than just a set of techniques, underscore its potential to revolutionize the construction industry by focusing on continuous improvement and efficiency.. 2.Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) & collaborative approaches:.
