This is a key aspect of Bryden Wood’s.Design to Value.
approach: considering how the benefits promised by MMC can be maximised to deliver better outcomes for clients, contractors, end users and society as a whole.. To learn more about our Design to Value approach to design and construction, sign up for our monthly newsletter here:.http://bit.ly/BWNewsUpdatesDesign for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA).is a whole-project approach, starting with design and working through to assembly.
Designing with the detail of assembly in mind, and making sure that M&E engineers work closely with architects and structural engineers, we deliver built assets with performance as part of their DNA.And nowhere is this more relevant than in data centre design.. A data centre is about performance above all – minimising cost per kW, maximising IT yield per square metre, minimising energy and water consumption, maximising the efficiency of M&E building services, and minimising waste..
There are standard ways to address all of these value drivers, and many companies to do that.
But to really raise the bar on what can be achieved with data centre design and M&E services, it’s essential to understand the mechanical and electrical systems, the architecture and the structure as being intimately interconnected and fully interdependent.margin and profit; but expansively including kudos and marketing from the work, with larger social and environmental impacts important to each organisation and the wellbeing, growth and development of the people involved.. Providing such a web of value interconnects and energises the whole project community into the generation of shared value..
In the words of Michael Porter.“Shared value is fundamentally about aligning the success of your company with the success of your community — through the recognition that you have a responsibility — and an economic opportunity — to improve the business environment and the fundamental health of the supporting community structure.”.
As value is realised conceptually, cornerstones of the design, delivery approach and culture need to be established.These ecosystem-conditions, design-features, delivery and operational principles; along with construction approaches, e.g.
