the economic benefits of keeping the construction industry active.. Retrofitting also has notable health and wellbeing benefits derived from better thermal and acoustic comfort and air quality (including the reduction of dampness and risk of fungi / mould).
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.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.’.But the construction industry has changed.
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..
