We were astonished at how easily and intuitively they were able to use it.. It’s vital that we change the perception of the construction industry and focus on attracting young talent into it.
Now is a great time to check the commissioning of your systems to make sure there is a good spread of ventilation across each room.. It’s important to pay particular attention to toilets, and transient spaces such as stair cores.With social distancing, a 20-person lift is now only able to carry one person, so staircases are going to become much busier.
These spaces need adequate ventilation, therefore.They shouldn’t be overlooked just because people don’t spend a large portion of their day sitting in them.This might well present its own challenges..
The government recommends that all building owners and occupiers undertake a COVID-19 risk assessment before moving back into their office buildings.The health and safety of occupants is of paramount importance.
But this moment also gives you an opportunity to make small changes to the way your systems operate; to make meaningful improvements to the efficiency of systems, control your energy bills and limit the impact of increased ventilation on the environment.105 Sumner Street - designed for development by Landsec - will be the first major building completed using our Platform Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA) approach from building design to delivery.. P-DfMA is a versatile and customisable construction system for commercial, residential and other building types.. P-DfMA consists of common parts, all made from readily available materials, which have been designed to go together in rehearsed ways.
Each part of the platform system has been designed to value based on its performance requirements..We need that hope and the energy that curiosity brings to imagine and realise the solutions..
