V-Quest

All done bar the shouting and the roaring! Our Co-founder Barry has completed his pitch practice (minimum 17 hours, Michael Philpott ⚓️) for the Trimble Inc. Dimensions conference & 0-60 Challenge in Las Vegas next week. Here he is pitching and getting feedback from the 231 / Lean Canvas crowd last week. The key takeaway! Contractors is not spelled Contactors! Especially when presented in front of thousands of conference attendees in 10ft writing. Woops! Cue revisions and emails to Trimble! We are now looking forward to attending, meeting investors, US users and the SketchUp team.

Business case is king! The three main drivers behind sustainability and carbon emission reduction are legislative, ESG finance restrictions and business case. Business case will always be the biggest driver. If you can make sustainability work for your project, it wins every time. We know how. If you need help understanding what's possible, get in touch. www.vquest.io

Carbon Flow Podcast Episode #1 We are delighted to release our first podcast episode. This first episode is with Bob Burnett & Jasmin McNelly, both are Superhome Movement designers and are designing, developing and building Christchurch's first Net Zero house. We talk about high performance houses, carbon reduction, net zero, NZ Building standards and the progress New Zealand needs to make. Viewers, do not adjust your TV, we did lose one of the two camera's at minute 3 and inserted a photo to avoid the black pit of podcast death. The truth is we learned a lot about how to podcast and will be refining our delivery for the next one. Going for a simpler single camera scene. Next month we have Bernie O'Fagan (RM Designs) & Julian Addington (Engco) speaking about the commercial side of construction. If you have an interesting project, experience or product journey related to carbon and construction and want to be on our podcast. Get in touch. Prolam saveBOARD Terra Lana Products Ltd.

The game is changing! Carbon emissions will soon be a key project performance metric. Get in touch, we can show you the easy wins on cost and carbon. www.vquest.io

We've seen this so many times. Developer designed a great building and you can measure the carbon emitted by it easily. The actual problem is how does it perform against the traditional building you could have built. We can quickly reverse that building up, change it to a traditional build and run a comparison. We give it back to you as a carbon story. Have you got that problem? Get in touch!

Context is everything? You know you've got a project that has lower carbon emissions but what is lower? How good is it. We can help you tell that story. Get in touch if you need a rapid contextualised carbon story!

Bring your project in on budget and reduce your carbon emissions. We have in-house quantity surveyors and carbon accountants. www.vquest.io

Need a carbon expert and cost expert? We have you covered. V-Quest Consultancy has both expert carbon accountants and Quantity Surveyors. We know how to bring your project in on budget and reduce your carbon emissions. Get in touch if you have a project or case study that needs either or both. www.vquest.io

Case Study! Over the last few months we've been increasingly asked to produce easy to read case studies. Usually from property developers and product manufacturers, wanting to build a narrative around how their work performs. Context is everything and story telling is key! V-Quest can quickly compare your design or to an alternative methodology and give you context on your performance. See how you stacked up. This recent Australian project prevented 500,000kgs of carbon emissions and reduced the weight of their building by nearly 800,000kgs (critical due to poor geotech condition). But what does that mean? It's great providing figures, but the storyboard tells the real story. If you have a project or material that needs context and story, give us a shout.
