But it is important that we can demonstrate that the analysis leading to this point is robust and that we have properly considered every angle.
That’s why Bryden Wood likes the term.Design to Value.
The goal here is to design things with lean construction principles: using the least amount of material, handled the fewest number of times, delivered quickly, with the right information, and without waste.. Aiming to realise these lean construction goals, regardless of whether that occurs on-site or off-site, is the real objective.Once this level of understanding is in place, informed decisions can be made about the most effective ways to go about making things happen.. Johnston says this includes decisions about the level of granularity of component standardisation which is required, as well as whether work is best done on-site or off-site.It’s really about individual value drivers and these vary from client to client depending on their needs.. “Construction too easily gets into the solutions mode,” he says, “and starts thinking of the solution before answering the question.”.
Amy Marks says she worked with a technology client earlier in her career, who wasn’t at all interested in having his project finish sooner.However, certainty surrounding the duration of the schedule was very important to him..
This is a value-driver that is well known to Johnston, as a result of Bryden Wood’s work within the.
pharmaceutical industry.The three used predominantly for orthopaedic surgery have laminate floors and special ventilation systems providing ultra clean air, which Goel describes as ‘perfect.’ He also enthuses about how having images of x-rays on the computer system, enables them to be projected onto a television screen on the wall.
On a more personal note, he enjoys the ability to put music on.‘Everywhere else, I have to take my own box because they don’t have sound,’ he says, ‘so that’s quite nice.’.
Maswiken also talks about the benefits of the lighting flexibility, with the ability to dim the lights or increase lumination, which he says provides options depending on the type of surgery being conducted.‘Particularly if you’re doing laparoscopic work,’ he says, ‘you might need to dim the light a bit to give the surgeon a better view of the images, so in that way it works very well.’ He also speaks about how lucky he feels to have windows in some of the theatres.
