The demands on structural designers are myriad, including the need to drive for more efficient and predictable outcomes for their clients, manage rising material and personnel costs, and secure value for money through productivity.
Designing for construction productivity helps structural engineers to square the circle: deliver to the client’s brief, while reducing errors, improve safety, and facilitate the efficiency of construction. This all helps to deliver more sustainable solutions and provide competitive advantage through reduced project costs and timescales.
