What is platform construction and why is it important? Built Environment Matters podcast with our Head of Global Systems, Jaimie Johnston MBE

Exhibition hall a glimpse into real-world solutions.

Project life cycle assessments (LCA) are becoming standard practice.Five years ago, that simply wasn’t the case for most consultancies.

There’s also a lot more guidance around now, for example, from bodies like the Chartered Institution of Building Service Engineers (CIBSE)..Sustainable building materials and platform construction.One topic which must be addressed in relation to the reduction of embodied carbon is the sustainable use of building materials.

This is an issue we’re particularly focused on at Bryden Wood, in our work with Platform construction.This transformative kit-of-parts approach enables a reduction in the quantity and weight of building materials.

With Platform construction we know exactly which components will go into a building.

As a result, we’re able to give considerably more care and consideration to the design, procurement and construction of each individual part.convincing mechanisms to ensure that what was designed is what is built..
