• evidence-based design.

Its application in construction is transformational..Bringing learning to every healthcare design project.

In addition to bringing fresh eyes and ideas to every project, we also build on the learning that we gather from other projects.Our early work with Circle Reading Hospital provided us with excellent foundations: for that project we conducted extensive research into the use dynamics of a hospital, optimising the layout to deliver a hospital with a design that allowed a significantly improved experience for both staff and patients.. Our intention was to develop a set of standard processes and techniques that we would apply to all of our healthcare design projects, while allowing for the specific brief for each facility.Over the years, we have continually refined and improved these common elements to improve the efficiency of production of design information and the quality of the end product,.

while also delivering certainty of cost and programme.. We brought all of this learning to Birmingham.As at Reading, our primary focus was on the quality of the user experience for patients and staff, as well as the efficiency and usability of the building..

In 2012 we won the Best Patient Experience Award for Circle Reading at the Building Better Healthcare awards.. Hospital Design for flexibility and change.

We also worked hard to make sure that the design of the hospital was flexible and adaptable.Bryden Wood’s Platform approach to Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA) is a system that delivers efficiencies across the entire construction process by applying the principles of manufacturing.. Bryden Wood have taken the P-DfMA approach for the design of multiple projects, like Landsec’s The Forge office development in London, where we have followed the hierarchies described above..

The Forge.. Its lean design, using a standardised ’kit-of-parts’ and the better control on the specification and procurement of materials has shown the following benefits:.Reduction of the amount of material used.

Reduction of waste produced during construction.Reduction of the time and human resources spent in the delivery of the project.
