Technological advancements and AI in construction:.

It’s a methodology which facilitates higher accuracy, reduced costs, less waste, improved user experience and performance.. To this end, Circle Reading provides a glimpse into the efficiency anchored future of architecture, delivering a 25% cost savings on Circle’s previous Bath hospital and being delivered in just over eighteen months.Uniquely, the focus for the facility was designed to be on cost per clinical outcome, rather than square meterage, or other metrics traditionally associated with buildings.

In addition to this, Wood comments that patient experience ‘was paramount.’ ‘Circle Reading, we believe,’ he says, ‘balances these two factors to a degree that’s not been seen in hospitals, certainly in the UK, before.’.Ultimately, such a unique focus has brought to life a space which, at its most fundamental level, is designed to be the most effective type of hospital.Still, as Wood reflects, there isn’t anything ‘utilitarian’ about Circle Reading.

The focus on driving efficiency and achieving value for the client, doesn’t have to compromise ‘the internal environment or the experience.’ On the contrary, this is a building which has been enhanced by it’s practical design ambitions.. ‘Liberated’ is the word used by Theatre Lead, Albert Maswiken to describe the feeling he experiences working within the hospital.It’s a sentiment echoed in a myriad of small and large ways by other staff members, each of whom strive daily to deliver outstanding patient care within this uniquely beautiful, efficient and mindfully designed space.. Circle, whose ethos encompases excellent patient care, best management ideas.

and a culture of partnership, are the official supplier for British Rowing and were named Private Hospital Group of the Year by LaingBuisson in 2015.

Still, at first glance, you’d be forgiven for not immediately recognising the building’s function as a state-of-the-art medical facility.This needs to change, she says, or what we’re aiming to do will be nearly impossible.. “You can't have the same behaviour and think you're going to have some dramatically different result (that's going to be great) all of a sudden.’.

The reality is that making these changes offers a solution to many of the problems we’re facing as an industry at the moment, including poor productivity, low value, excessive amounts of waste, and carbon emissions.We need to find a way to facilitate this shift to industrialised construction because almost nothing is coming out in the way we intended it, Marks says, particularly in terms of cost, certainty, and schedule..

Still, switching the whole ecosystem to support industrialised construction represents a very difficult challenge..Starting with DfMA.
