Design to Value embraces complexity, acknowledging the complementary nature of ‘value drivers’: the financial, aesthetic, socio-environmental and processual.

Fast Lab connects a range of inputs, models, and outputs to enable rapid iteration and collaboration between stakeholders.Reduce lab design time.

Fast Lab aims to reduce the initial lab design time from months down to weeks.While all stages of a lab construction project can undoubtedly be accelerated, in our experience the biggest gains are to be found during the earliest stages of a project.. Fast Lab is a service by Bryden Wood that aims to accelerate the lab specification, design, and internal approval process, so that permitting, procurement, and construction can start as quickly as possible, and with a design that is less likely to change and cause future delay.Fast Lab achieves this by:.

Translating scientific and technological requirements into a lab design and key project and business metrics.. Exploiting the standardisation opportunities across all life science lab projects..Enabling a rapid and iterative design process.. Providing inputs and feedback to/from all stakeholders (e.g.

lab managers, project managers, Quality, EHS, tenants), improving buy-in and reducing future change.. Embedding data and learnings from every project to continuously improve the service over time.. Fast Lab works by:.

Using a standardised capacity model to rapidly translate scientific, technological, and commercial requirements (e.g.The materials specified for the internal wall include recycled materials, reducing their embodied carbon..

Finally, the DfMA approach has optimised the MEP systems, using modular prefabricated units, which reduce the amount of material used.When comparing our results with LETI benchmarks (see below), this is not apparent.

It is becoming clear across the industry that LETI benchmarks for MEP are likely underestimated..Embodied carbon analysis.
