Sustainability rooted in efficiency
We’ve always been driven by efficiency and value, striving to use less material and energy whilst achieving superior aesthetics and outcomes. It's an approach that adds not just value, but enshrines sustainability, because it lowers the overall carbon cost of assets.
Integrated Management System
We are certified to both ISO9001 (Quality Management) & ISO14001 (Environmental Management). The Leadership Team at Bryden Wood are committed to the continual improvement of quality and environmental issues that impact our business, projects, clients and employees.

Upgraded classroom designs resulted in the offset of 50 years of carbon emissions in use (vs. current)
HCC PCP Embodied Energy Evaluation
Estimated 30% reduction in embodied energy against benchmark
Sainsbury's Low Cost store
Exceeded client targets of 60% reduced carbon emissions and 20% renewable energy sources. The application of a combination of a wood pellet biomass boiler, gas fired CHP, and photovoltaic panels resulted in 31% renewable sources and a 24% improvement over the standards of AD Part L2.
