At the dawn of Modernism, in the fervent search for innovative, efficient, and cost-effective building systems, modular construction offered the promise of precisely that: an industrialized system comprised of ready-to-assemble elements, easily configured, cost-effective, and quality-controlled. Read on. #modularconstruction #construction
In the face of challenges like cost, space limitations, and tight construction timelines, architects and planners are turning to innovative solutions. Modular construction offers a game-changing approach, with buildings constructed off-site and then assembled on-site, minimising resource use and construction time. Check out this insightful blog discussing the rise of modular construction and its potential to revolutionise urban living. Discover the benefits of modular construction, from reduced environmental impact to streamlined processes that save time and money. https://lnkd.in/g6zpxAps #tasbuiltcommercial #modularbuilding #buildingandconstruction #modular
Does it cost more to build a Passivhaus? Passivhaus is the recognised standard in delivering low-energy, comfortable and healthy buildings. Building to the Passivhaus standard requires a particular approach to both design and construction in order to meet the energy use and air tightness targets. Whilst these targets are becoming more familiar to the construction industry, they are still the ‘gold standard’, and as such can cost more than a ‘business as usual’ approach. Andrew Baker-Falkner, Director here at Tate + Co, has written an article for our Knowledge Hub exploring the investment associated with a Passivhaus project.

As PassivHaus projects continue to grow in popularity, in the construction industry and wider public circles, the benefits they bring, including low/zero bills, comfortable environments and broader health benefits are widely touted. And rightly so. However, this comes with an expectation of cost premium's, after all, how could all of these benefits over a 'traditional' building not cost more? I have explored this in the below article as part of the Tate + Co Knowledge hub series and the answer is perhaps not what you would expect!

🚀 Exploring the Future of Construction with Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEB) 🏗️ In today's rapidly evolving construction industry, Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEB) have emerged as a game-changer. These innovative structures are not only cost-effective and time-efficient but also offer enhanced durability and sustainability. In my latest blog, I dive deep into the core concepts & design philosophy of PEBs, highlighting how they are reshaping the way we approach modern architecture and infrastructure projects. 🔑 Key takeaways from the blog: Enhanced flexibility and customization options Global adoption and key industries driving PEB growth 💡 Whether you're a professional in the construction field, an architect, or just curious about new building technologies, this blog offers insights that are essential for staying ahead in the industry. 🔗https://lnkd.in/geXiHMfz #ConstructionInnovation #PreEngineeredBuildings #Sustainability #Architecture #PEB #BuildingTheFuture #Engineering #BuiltX #SustainableDesign #Construction
Modular construction offers Cost-Effective solutions, efficient spacing, Sustainability and more importantly - Creativity. This innovative approach was introduced to reshape the urban landscape, where the prefabricated building blocks are manufactured in a factory and assembled on-site. Manufacturing in a controlled factory environment certifies Quality Control, precision and Flexibility in design, pushing a shift from traditional building methods. https://lnkd.in/erdAY52w #modular #modulararchitecture #modularbuilding #prefabrication #prefab #energyefficiency #costsaving #costefficiency #portablearchitecture #architecture #construction #engineering #japanesemetabolism #architecturaldesign #architecturalengineering #designmanagement #urbanplanning #urbandesign #masterplanning #propertydevelopment #realestatedevelopment #masterdevelopment #ecotecture
The design of a building plays a key role in how efficiently and sustainably it can function. While architects normally view each building's design and functionality from a wholistic perspective, sustainable architects specifically aim to design a building that will support the local ecosystem, be energy efficient and protect valued resources. #CarbonEmissions #Construction #GreenBuilding #Leed #SustainableArchitecture

ECD Architects, appointed by Equans UK & Ireland, is leading the retrofit of three high-rise residential towers in Shieldfield—Lort House, Pandon Court, and King Charles Tower. This transformative project will deliver thermal and aesthetic upgrades to over 200 homes, significantly improving energy efficiency, reducing carbon emissions and, most importantly, enhancing comfort for residents. Key measures include: 🔹 External Wall Insulation (EWI) for better thermal performance. 🔹 Enhanced roof insulation to reduce heat loss. 🔹 Installation of new energy-efficient windows for improved comfort and reduced energy use. 🔹 Upgraded ventilation systems for healthier indoor environments. 🔹 Addition of rooftop Air Source Heat Pumps, advancing the transition to renewable energy. Beyond functionality, the project features an aesthetic revitalisation of the towers, introducing a simplified, cohesive colour palette. Each block retains its unique identity while gaining a fresh character through complementary accent tones (developed in collaboration with residents & local planners) to reflect the community's vision. A key success factor: No resident relocations. All work has been carefully planned and executed with residents remaining in their homes, minimising disruption while delivering maximum impact. To ensure the best outcomes, thermal bridge calculations have been carried out to enable the team to reduce heat loss and avoid any risk of condensation. This means the works meet PAS 2035 and that the residents have warmer homes. The retrofit of these Sheildfield towers is a testament to the power of sustainable design and community-focused improvements, creating homes that are not only energy-efficient but also more comfortable and visually inspiring.
