It’s through one of the ateliers called PRAXXIS, which is focused on inclusivity in design.
The Construction Innovation Hub has a year left, during which time it will need to create impact and get the necessary information to prove value.However, realistically, it’s going to take a decade or more to really embed these approaches, and for parallel developments to share data and information that really demonstrates value.
This will in turn enable clients to make better choices and achieve better delivery of buildings.. Progressing the future of construction.The progress we’ve seen in just the last five years has been significant, and it’s important to acknowledge that we’ve come a long way in a short period of time because we’ve been able to capitalise on the experience of others.The journey began with the original work with the MOJ, but carried on through to the Autumn Statement, the Infrastructure and Projects Authority beginning to talk about Platforms, and the creation of the Construction Innovation Hub itself.. It’s useful to reflect on how far we’ve come in terms of the significant policy changes and the fact that government departments, who have long been delivering massive infrastructure projects in diverse ways, are now starting to realise the benefits of alignment, harmonisation and rationalisation.
All of this helps to leverage the change going forwards, and also creates a hopeful background around the possibility that we’ll start to make changes quite quickly.We saw a similar process with BIM.
Once the government established the BIM requirement, there was propagation to the private sector..
Defining the Need.Enables local sourcing.
Reduction in whole life carbon.This has led to a 22% reduction in embodied carbon compared to the traditional construction approach.
The project predicts a 9.5% reduction in capital cost and 13% reduction in programme..Carbon reduction against baseline.
