The construction industry has been stuck in a time warp of lowest price, maximum risk transfer.
This landmark project is not just a testament to architectural ingenuity but a leap toward a sustainable future, showcasing our commitment to transforming construction and significantly reducing carbon emissions..The Forge - a development of two nine-storey commercial office buildings – is a collaboration between.
, Bryden Wood as architects and engineers, and the prototyping and fabricating company.The building’s landmark status comes from the culmination of many years of thinking and development.It delivers a raft of benefits to the built environment and significant reductions in embodied and operational carbon..
Embodied carbon calculations were undertaken by Cundall, on behalf of Landsec.Cundall updated the calculations at every stage of design, from the Business as Usual (BaU) design in 2018, the incorporation of P-DfMA by Bryden Wood in 2019, through to completion in 2023.
The BaU scheme was a traditionally designed office building with a steel frame and a concrete slab, a large basement beneath both buildings and gas fired heating system.
In contrast, the built scheme used P-DfMA, worked to minimise the size of the basement and decarbonised the MEP services using heat pumps..To learn more about our Design to Value approach to design and construction, sign up for our monthly newsletter here:.
