Here at R&M Property Group Ltd 🐝 we have been busy building relationships with existing clients and new, by designing and delivering zero carbon family homes utilizing MMC where possible’. Building smart, low carbon homes is more than just a trend; it's a sustainable solution for a greener future. Incorporating energy-efficient design principles, renewable energy systems and advanced technologies like heat pumps that will help to reduce environmental impact at home, save on energy costs and create healthier living environments for wider society. The challenge of combatting climate change continues to grow, which is why building smart, low carbon homes is an essential part of creating a more sustainable future. Here are some ways R&M Property Group Ltd 🐝 have been reducing embodied carbon in our new builds: * Use low-carbon materials 
Bio-based materials can reduce embodied emissions because they remove carbon from the atmosphere as they grow. 
 * Reuse materials 
Reusing materials can save up to 95% of the embodied carbon emissions of buying new materials. 
 * Use carbon sequestering materials 
Materials like wood, straw, and hemp can reduce embodied carbon levels because they capture and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.  * Use fewer finishings 
Use structural materials as finishes, such as polished concrete slabs for flooring. 
 * Use high-recycled content materials 
Materials with higher recycled content reduce the embodied energy of buildings. * Explore alternative insulation types 
Organic materials like cellulose and hempcrete have a negative embodied carbon figure, while mineral wool insulation emits around 5 tonnes of CO2e/m2.  * Establish a baseline 
Understand the scope of emissions to establish reduction targets and a pathway to net-zero. 
 Other ways to reduce embodied carbon include: Considering renovation over new construction, Designing for structural efficiency, Using low-GWP insulation, Looking for low or zero-emissions equipment, and Emphasizing waste reduction. Reducing embodied carbon is important because it's a step towards global emissions reduction targets, and it can reduce costs and risk around resource availability! We look forward to continuing our positive relationships into next year, by Building Family Homes Faster, Smarter, Safer in 2025. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone.

Hi You think you're innovative? Think again 😉 Product development work ("innovation") used to be something we did outside a project. Developing a new panelised or modular product was a phase before actually using it on a project. Sometimes we even built a prototype! In recent years, our knowledge, expertise and the range of products on the market allow us to apply systems thinking at the early stages of a live project. This means that our clients save money and get to market faster. We've seen products developed this year for a few clients that have gone straight to production and straight to site with success. There will always be issues that can be improved upon but again, having the knowledge and expertise to collate, review and act upon those issues is all part of the process. Being quick to iterate concepts, being agile enough to deploy those concepts as manufacturable solutions, and aiming to do that with speed and precision is what I think we need to aim for as an industry. Its what I hope and expect for with all the businesses we work with. Its been a pleasure to be involved in projects this year with clients who truly "get it" and, as ever, we will continue to learn and refine our services to offer expert, agile solutions into the modern construction sector that increasingly close in on that aim of precision manufactured solutions at pace. Thanks to Martin Fenn MCIOB for the video and the interesting discussions we've had this year and thanks to all our clients, across all our businesses, for all the great projects we've had the pleasure of working with you on. Have a great Christmas and New Year. See you in 2025 (if not sooner!).

More than 140 local children saw their Christmas dreams come true last week on ChildFlight's annual ‘Search for Santa’ flight from Manchester Airport ✈️ The children boarded a TUI aircraft and flew over the snow-capped peaks of North Wales. They were entertained on board by volunteers, including airport employees in full costume as Santa’s elves. On their return, the children visited Santa’s Grotto in our T1 Little Flyers Zone, where they each received a bag of presents – as part of the airport’s efforts to ensure as many local children as possible have a present to open on Christmas morning 🎅 Read more ➡️ https://bit.ly/49yTUyU
