In the United Kingdom, there’s great craftsmanship, as well as in Ireland, where they’ve adopted manufacturing techniques.In America, there’s volume because of geography.
In Australia, they’re getting pressure from Asia.
They’ve lost the car industry.At Bryden Wood, starting with productivity-led value drivers, we developed a hybrid steel and concrete mid span platform (Platform II).
We then proved the concept on the design and delivery of The Forge, a commercial building for Landsec, the first ‘platform’ building..There are bound to be other mid span options: using other value drivers as a start point will no doubt give rise to other types of mid span platform e.g.
a timber based or light gauge steel..However, it’s critical that, as an industry we converge on a small number of platform options.
