The importance, value and scalability of digitising these building safety processes will be evident to everyone..

In this instance, we could decide in advance how we might react to a vaccine becoming available, and get it out to people quickly.. As the Factory in a Box project demonstrated, there are elements which are standardised across projects.For example, they all need hygienic spaces, so we can make sure the hygienic components will be available regardless of the situation with projects.

Components could be ready to deliver very quickly.As soon as you start to model and gain understanding, opportunities and outcomes become apparent, even in times of great uncertainty.This reality enables us to add value to the process..

The benefits of adopting a process engineering approach.Adopting a Design to Value approach is achievable.

It isn’t magic..

The issue regarding its wider scale adoption is simply that it requires the industry to break with the ideas and processes we’ve been following before.It should be noted, that for most new developments nowadays it is not feasible to become net zero within the possibilities of the design (energy and material efficiency measures), so the use of carbon offset schemes and PPA is essential.. Why should we focus on sustainable construction and net zero carbon?.

The UK has established ambitious targets to reduce carbon by 2050.The UK aspires to reduce total carbon emissions by 78% by 2035, compared to 2020 levels, and become net zero carbon by 2050.

These ambitions, translated to the built environment, can only be achieved via the implementation of measures to reduce operational and embodied carbon of new buildings, upgrading existing buildings, the use of ambitious policies and crucially via a decarbonised grid..The built environment contributes to around 40% of the UK's total carbon footprint.
