VIDEO | Designing the future of construction

Great buildings start with great design. A&B Engineering technical director Phil Godfrey spoke with Place North West about how technology has improved outcomes for development projects.

Bringing mechanical and electrical engineers into the design process can transform a project, helping bolster sustainability credentials in a practical and cost-effective way.

Today’s M&E experts are also armed with technology that provides greater certainty as to the end product. Risk is always a pain point in construction. Incorporating BIM, Revit, and 3D modelling into projects can mitigate risk by allowing experts to spot snags and flaws before work begins on site.

Godfrey elaborated on how A&B Engineering is utilising the technology on projects, as well as the benefits of bringing in M&E engineers early on in the design process, in the video at the top of this article. You can also view the video on Place North West’s YouTube channel.
