demonstrate Bryden Wood’s capability in providing specialist façade design and detailing services.The St James Centre is a project which uses a natural stone façade.We are providing structural engineering design for all precast panels including the design of bracket connections as well as all stone design and detailing (partly handset and partly panelised).
We have led the interface detailing between the different façade packages and have carried out all the façade performance engineering and detailing, including: structural, thermal and condensation risk, waterproofing, air tightness, fire and acoustics.. We work with:.main contractors who are interested in innovation and exploring the benefits of alternative construction systems or DfMA conversions; and looking to de-risk certain packages, eg facades.
Specialist subcontractors for facades, M&E prefabrication etc.
particularly on complex projects.Local authorities, housing associations and developers can use the app to drive standardisation across their estates, using a pattern book of apartments to deliver projects more efficiently, and achieving benefits like standardised maintenance regimes.
Manufacturers benefit from learning more about the types of buildings architects working with MMC techniques can design.Contractors can use the app to validate designs and rebuild an architect’s work very quickly.
PRiSM can also be used to model schemes for a tender, investigating how much module variation exists within a volumetric modular scheme, for example.. PRiSM 2.0: The Addition of Geospatial Data Layers.In 2020, Bryden Wood launched PRiSM 2.0, providing more granular control to the user.
