But in a way that is not the point either; because if you aren’t 100% sure you can realise this renewables-only portfolio, then as time is so short, failing to look into energy portfolios that include nuclear would be both unwise and irresponsible.

It’s a unique opportunity for passionate, motivated young people to sink their teeth into the day-to-day of our innovative, technology led practice.We are working to transform the construction industry with our focus on efficiency and solution driven practices, such as Offsite and Design for Manufacturing.. Digital Delivery Apprentice Charlie Hall, first came on board with Bryden Wood after completing his GCSEs in 2016.

The focus of his work and training lie within the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering department, where he is actively engaged in expanding his knowledge base and skillset.As a Bryden Wood apprentice, Charlie has had the unique opportunity to learn from colleagues, whilst receiving valuable training on integral industry software programs such as Revit, Navisworks and CAD.‘I work alongside Mechanical and Electrical Engineers,’ says Charlie, ‘modelling their design into Revit and producing drawings and 3D models...Depending on the project, I also attend project meetings and may even visit site.’.

Hall is enthusiastic about his apprenticeship role at Bryden Wood, describing how the experience has not only fulfilled his expectations, but also advanced his ambitions.‘I was always interested in engineering.

I was unsure about what type of engineering I wanted to go into, but I kept my options open and looked into all aspects of engineering… The idea of an apprenticeship appealed to me massively because I would be gaining work experience in a subject I enjoy and earning at the same time.’.

Hall spent the first year of his apprenticeship working at Bryden Wood whilst attending Oakwoods college one day per week, completing his PEO in Engineering.With the reduction in internal floor area, there is less space to be conditioned with expensive MEP systems, less structure and less external envelope.

This sustainable design process is incredibly effective..Lean design encourages optimised material usage within the building.

This might be improving the optimisation factor of steel, reducing the thickness of concrete slabs, or balancing insulation thicknesses of walls, floors and roofs with operational energy savings.A reduced quantity of building materials reduces a building’s weight.
