We welcome apprentices and are an active participant in the government’s apprenticeship program, offering invaluable on the job training as a complementary experience to related, weekly college training.

Sustainable, low carbon design solutions are being incorporated in the early stages and, as a result, needn’t cost the earth.. It’s important to focus on fully understanding operational and embodied carbon, not on meeting ‘tick box’ credits.A modern low carbon building consists of two main parts:.

Low embodied carbon.Low operational carbon..Between them, there is also an often unspoken common denominator which Bryden Wood have explored.

Put simply: if we build less, we emit less carbon.. Low embodied carbon and the future of sustainable design.It’s generally understood that changing material specification can help reduce embodied carbon and create a more sustainable design and build process.

What is often not mentioned is that we can also achieve reduced embodied carbon and capital cost through optimisation and reducing the volume of building, and the earlier this is considered the bigger the carbon savings.. Bryden Wood have demonstrated that through optimising architectural layouts, we can produce higher net to gross ratio space.

We do this by enhancing circulation and ancillary spaces and providing more useful, flexible space.Collaboration is the key to making it through this incredible challenge, and Repowering Coal presents a fantastic opportunity to be harnessed.

We believe the initiative gives cause for significant optimism in our conversation about tackling the decarbonisation challenge ahead..
