Adrian has developed and led approaches to managing process development and scale-up projects, and their integration with capital projects.Alastair is a chartered architect designing innovative facilities in the life sciences and broader industrial and energy sectors.
These ideas offer the opportunity to make the construction of an asset carbon negative.. How can we build and not just protect diversity (e.g.move a threatened species) but provide the foundations to increase natural habitats?
This is not just putting money aside to plant trees, it’s about working with environmental groups – not to seek reluctant acceptance but instead enthusiastic support and ideas.We know that green spaces are a positive influence on our well-being.Studies have shown that contact with nature has a significant impact on mental health.
This is another example where multiple value drivers can be augmented in tandem; increasing diversity, improving well-being, supporting productivity and creating educational environments.. How can we reduce waste materials, and, moreover, incorporate them into the built environment, reusing plastics and other potential throwaways?.How do we look at all these things together to find the best business, aesthetic and environmental solutions?.
The answer is simple and difficult.
Thinking more broadly with the widest purpose, giving the right culture and encouragement is easy for a time.In other words, it will allow more people to engage in the right way at the right point in the planning process, accessing the right information and able to give the right kind of opinion.. Further, this will enable a holistic view; the ability to consider planning applications in relation to each other, in terms of design etc.
but also in terms of development and other targets, at borough, city, county, or national level..This is about understanding how to take information about one stage of an asset, and make it usable for another stage.
Our approach will generate a density of information that we can make use of throughout the design and build process (including planning) – and then beyond construction, into the operation of buildings and ultimately their end of life.Standardised data will vastly improve transparency and efficiency, and open up opportunities for future innovation..
