It supports endless configuration possibilities, enabling a wide range of designs and uses from a single kit of parts.
Since starting work at Bryden Wood my mindset has changed and I think I would like to now move on to higher education.’.Speaking about what initially drew him to Bryden Wood, Charlie enthuses about both the practical advantages (the company is close to his home) and the career development opportunities provided by this unique practice whose core principles and activities so captured his interest.
He was also impressed by the potential for further development.‘Bryden Wood appealed to me massively,’ says Hall, ‘as a company who are expanding rapidly.’ However the best thing about them, he says, is that they are a multi-discipline company, which ‘allows for the potential of working on a wide range projects.. Hall says the thing he finds most enjoyable about his apprenticeship position is that it enables him to work on ‘live projects’ where he is given the opportunity and responsibility to assist in work going out.He also enjoys travelling from his St. Albans base, either to Bryden Wood’s London office or to visit projects/buildings he has worked on.
‘I’ve worked on a number of different projects since I joined,’ says Hall.‘No two projects have been the same and I have enjoyed working on them all.’.

It was my first full time job and I didn’t know what to expect.’.Learning how the components perform, or how the facade systems are working, can help refine the components and make a better asset next time.
This standardisation at component level creates the ability to put a feedback loop in place.Furthermore, it opens up an opportunity for machine learning and artificial intelligence to come into construction, as they require vast data sets to operate.
If we want to get into AI in construction, and even digital twins, we have to put the building blocks in place now.Construction Platform design could accelerate the capture of data needed to make this a reality.. End of life: reuse and recycle built assets.
