It’s great.’ What’s more, they enjoy every Londoner’s dream of a ten minute cycle commute from their home in Queen’s Park to their GWS base.. Run For The Hills specialises in branding and interiors, making the most of Chris and Anna’s shared aesthetic, 'at the quirky, edgy, end of design.’ Hospitality projects from bars to restaurants, and even a boutique cinema, are where their complementary skills intertwine.
The close collaboration between Landsec, Easi-Space, the Bryden Wood design team and a new supply chain, is now applying the P-DfMA design and prototype learnings to a live Landsec project in Sumner Street, central London..This development will be two office buildings around an internal courtyard, rising to nine storeys and covering a total of 135,000 sq ft.
It is designed to a ‘zero carbon in use’ strategy, and the efficiencies and innovations inherent to P-DfMA are already achieving remarkable gains: 40% reduction in steel used; 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.. Sumner Street is a game changer for construction.But it’s important to see that it has not come in isolation.It is a big step on a journey that is a direct result of support and collaboration between UK government, key industry players and a new supply chain.. All the learnings from the Sumner Street project will be fed back into the work of the CIH, continuing the virtuous cycle; this initiative was promoted by government at the start, and is now demonstrating how that initial support is bearing fruit and will continue to do so..
It is through collaborative approaches like this between government and the private sector that we can achieve value-driven transformation of the sector and bring enormous benefit to the built environment and society more broadly.. On 8 July 2020, Chancellor Rishi Sunak committed funding to modern methods of construction in his Plan for Jobs..The story continues.The use of robotics in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction industry is very appealing, mainly because of the increase in productivity and quality that automation is expected to achieve..
In order to fully realise these benefits, though, the industry must first question which of our current processes should be automated and which should be re-thought..
Many technologies, such as 6-axis industrial robotic arms, have not yet been fully explored, due to:.Combined with the concepts of “Focus and Finish” rather than “Meet the commitments” it provided a better collaborative and coordinated approach.. What we realised though was that there were parts of the schedule which were even more organic than buffers or “Focus and finish” could accommodate.
We therefore striated our schedule into four layers:.Integration of scope and design and delivery process.
Key interactions.The critical chain ran through Integration Strategy (1.)
