‘I think the building lends itself really well to care and nursing,’ he says.

Whether it’s reducing waste, achieving certainty in project timelines, or meeting sustainability goals, understanding what 'value' means to each client is critical.Amy and Jaimie emphasised that industrialised construction is about delivering outcomes that matter to clients and end-users, not just cutting costs..

This engaging episode of.Built Environment Matters.underscores the transformative potential of industrialised construction and the critical role of collaboration, technology, and innovative thinking.

As Amy Marks noted, the shift is already underway, and companies that embrace this change will position themselves as leaders in a rapidly evolving industry.. Stay tuned for more insights from Bryden Wood and.learn more about Industrialised Construction hereHistorically, mathematical modelling and simulation have been confined to sectors and projects with a focus on manufacturing, operations, logistics and supply chain.

Despite the availability of the technology since the 1980s, the construction industry has been much slower to apply these methods; most likely due to the nature of building design, with one-time projects using many unique elements and few repeatable processes.. Discrete Event Simulation (DES) is a method of modelling a system by evaluating a series of activities at the time they occur, or by evaluation at set points in time (every second, for example) with no change assumed to have occurred between the time steps.

This type of simulation is well suited for activity-based operational modelling where the complexity of continuous simulation is not required.. DES is typically used to understand and improve the performance of a system, in the research and development or design phase, or for processes already in operation..Hydrogen is difficult to store, transport and move around, so it isn’t particularly useful as an end product, as it would require a lot of new infrastructure for end users.

However, it does have strong potential as an ingredient in clean, drop-in, substitute fuels, such as ammonia (which can be used as a Marine shipping fuel), or synthetic hydrocarbons.Importantly, this would mean that existing storage, transport and end-use infrastructure could continue to be used, including the use of today's planes and ships, making these kinds of solutions extremely useful..

The sticking point is that in order for hydrogen to be used successfully as an ingredient in these alternative fuels, it needs to be very inexpensive, costing less than one dollar per kilogram.This is significantly out of range for any of the prospects for renewables until 2050, largely because they are very dispersed, dilute energy sources.
