Creating the Perfect Smart Home: A Step-by-Step Guide for Irish Consumers

At Bryden Wood, starting with productivity-led value drivers, we developed a hybrid steel and concrete mid span platform (Platform II).

The Construction Leadership Council (CLC) and the officials in The Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) worked closely to forge a much better link between government and industry.We’ve seen the CLC successfully deal with things like keeping construction sites open and the launch of the talent retention scheme.

All of this has given industry a new, unified voice in government; an important step for a sector which hasn’t necessarily been widely listened to in the past..This type of unification has clearly demonstrated the benefits industry engagement provides, showcasing to the government how the construction sector can support recovery.In addition, industry players themselves have seen the benefit of coming together, not just in terms of a recovery from the immediate downturn, but also through an understanding of how transforming construction into a more productive and sustainable sector in the future can be supported and accelerated.

We’re no longer talking about simply needing more people on site to build things more cheaply.The focus now is about how we construct our assets and how we operate.. We have important questions to answer: how do we drive greater levels of manufacturing (DfMA) and more productive growth into the sector?

How do we use data in a way that supports not just better construction projects, but also better operational assets?

How do we drive that path to net-zero carbon emissions with greater impact on social value?The speed of iteration made possible by Chip Thinking®️ also affects how people work.

It becomes very useful to have collaborative working spaces where people come together with their ideas and insights.Such collaboration leads to exciting possibilities.

People work together as equals.It’s no longer a client instructing a supplier.
