simplification and standardisation.

The benefits of kit-of-parts architecture.Another benefit of a Platform construction, kit-of-parts, approach is that it’s very deconstructable.

We don’t need to use hot welding on-site.We have reversible jointing methods.This means that the building can be dismantled in pieces, which extends the life of components because of the potential for reuse on the next building.

Therefore, construction Platforms include an improvement to efficiency and sustainability across multiple buildings, for years to come..The future of net zero carbon emissions.

These days there’s a lot of discussion within the sustainable design space about targets for a future net zero state, and how that relates to both operational energy and embodied carbon.

There are numerous benchmarks and targets in place for operational energy.To get further though I need to be involved in the leadership of change.

By leadership, I do not mean getting others to do things..I am talking about developing new, fresh leading ideas and using know-how, skill and energy to make things happen.

I am talking about ambition, scale and the courage to be at the front of the pack, not hanging back and waiting to see what might be popular, what others might do, it is about forging a way forward ahead of current thinking with ambitions and aspirations beyond those of the current trends.. “The ability of an individual or a group of people to influence organisations and society.“.How could every building be carbon neutral, how could we replace every coal and gas power station?
