Maximising the value of an asset is finding the right balance of a wide range of criteria.. As an approach, Design to Value (DtV) is well understood and applied in the manufacturing industries, and its application is richly informative and highly effective for construction.

It leads to objective analysis of every aspect of a process, every element of resource requirement, energy consumption, knowledge, and cost.It leads to testing of the value parameters each of these elements is being measured against.It is rigorous, logical and data-driven.. Design to Value may lead to a solution that is very different to the one initially conceived, but it will be a solution that is fully thought through, appropriate and complete.

A built asset that delivers value across the piece.This leads to wide-ranging benefits: cost-savings, increases in speed, quality and safety, and the creation of more sustainable buildings with projects delivering greater social value.. Digital design: using construction technology to iterate and refine.

Our approach at Bryden Wood is rooted in a Design to Value methodology.
