This standardisation at component level creates the ability to put a feedback loop in place.
And you multiply those exponentially.It's too many.”.
Creating an opportunity: prefabrication and productisation in construction.The problem we’re currently facing, Marks says, is that “we're only talking about the baby steps of prefabrication, or really fabrication, at this point.We're not enabling productisation.
There's a difference.And I think we have to quickly almost leapfrog over fabrication to productisation.”.
Marks says that productisation will free architects, empowering them to be “the true architects of the parameters, of the combination, of those elements.”.
Additionally, she adds, given that not everything warrants productisation, architects will be able to spend more time doing the work they came into the industry to do - the more artistic work, and the work more specifically related to the end-user experience.. Jaimie Johnston agrees there’s a massive opportunity on offer for designers with industrialised construction.. “The people who write the standards don't necessarily understand the implications; clients want the value, but don't know how to do it; product producers have no product know-how to make the bits.Through his experience working on a large range of projects from diverse sectors, Michael has demonstrated his ability to effectively and creatively solve complex design problems and respond to the challenges of rapidly changing project landscapes by pre-empting risks and proactively seeking solutions.. With a commitment to innovation, Michael has been at the forefront of developing a number of technological advancements to help leverage the benefits of a data-rich model environment, including advanced visualisation capabilities and introducing virtual reality as a practical tool for projects.Stefanos joined Bryden Wood in 2013 having previously finished his Master’s degree in Adaptive Architecture and Computation – MSc AAC at the Bartlett School of Graduate Studies.. Before that he worked in architectural firms and technical offices in Greece, mainly involved in small residential and refurbishments projects, as well as international architectural completions.. Stefanos began his career at BWL by working on the design and implementation of a standardised “chassis” solution for a mixed-use residential development, from which he progressed to the design and planning preparation of the various plots appointed to the company..
Since then he has worked in various projects occupying different roles that have enabled him to develop and grow as a professional.Notable roles include his involvement with GSK ICentre concept design and Blasé beach House concept and details design, the latter of which placed Stefanos in the position of Design Lead where his collaborative skills were integral to ensuring the smooth running of the scheme via the combined working of a multi-disciplinary team..
Following this experience Stefanos became involved in the design, development and delivery of the T3 Temporary FCC at Heathrow Airport; a challenging facility that was designed and built in less than a year, with short deadlines and many restrictions.Key to this project was Stefanos’ ability to occupy a central role with a focus on co-ordinating a multi-disciplinary approach through from design to delivery on site.Kevin is a Senior Chartered Electrical Engineer with 18 years in the industry.. During this time he has gathered experience across a range of sectors with projects covering retail, commercial, mission critical, healthcare, and education..
