Although our technical services and products are becoming increasingly exportable and marketable, we need a more cohesive and collaborative approach regarding how we bring that UK construction value proposition to market.

It is designed to a ‘zero carbon in use’ strategy, and is already achieving gains:.efficiency: a predicted 9.5% reduction in capital cost, 13% reduction in programme, 40% reduction in steel used and 50% reduction in site operatives for superstructure and facade.

sustainability: a forecast 19.4% reduction in embodied carbon per square metre, a 36.4% carbon reduction in the substructure and 20.2% in the superstructure and façade..The Platform approach has been adopted by the Government and is the focus of the Construction Innovation Hub..The scale and ambition of Sumner Street will be a catalyst for change and a major step forward in proving the new business and financial metrics, whole life performance, and supply chain adoption needed – and deliverable – to accelerate the transformation of the construction sector..

In advance of International Women's Day on the 8th March, we asked some of our female architects, engineers and designers to share their thoughts on being women in construction.. EVA MAGNISALI - HEAD OF ROBOTICS.

International Women’s Day is quite a big topic in the industry because there are more men in leading roles.But for those who need flexibility, the Reference Design becomes far easier to configure flexibly into a physical asset when broken down into its ‘Chips’ (with more or less flexibility in how these are arranged depending on the asset type.)

By digitally modelling the design against the given brief/constraints using Chips, we can quickly see how well the design will work, and what we can adapt to fit the wide range of needs and constraints involved.This ability to adapt the configuration of a design would be impossible in a design expressed as 100% single components..

The ‘local’ design is then focused on ground conditions, utilities, infrastructure, placemaking, flows of people etc..Figure 2 Example configurations of healthcare Chips.
