What do you think about this innovative construction method? 🤔🏗️ This new insulated timber-frame method offers speed, eco-friendliness, and thermal efficiency! Pros: ✅ Speedy Installation: Prefabricated blocks enable faster builds with a small team. ✅ Eco-Friendly: Lightweight, reusable, and recyclable materials. ✅ Thermal Efficiency: High thermal efficiency (0.15 w/m²k), reducing energy use. ✅ Customizability: Tailored blocks minimize waste. Cons: ❌ Material Sustainability: EPS is great for insulation, but more eco-friendly alternatives could boost sustainability. Share your thoughts! 🛠️🌍 This continues the same approach from my previous post. #ConstructionInnovation #EcoFriendly #SustainableBuilding #ThermalEfficiency #PrefabConstruction #BuildingGreen #ConstructionTech #GreenBuilding

"The Future of Construction: Are You Missing Out on Revolutionary Materials?" The construction industry is undergoing a material revolution. Traditional materials like concrete and steel are now being redefined by cutting-edge innovations that promise to reshape the way we design and build. But are we using these advancements to their fullest potential? Take carbon-negative concrete as an example. Unlike traditional concrete, which is responsible for 8% of global carbon emissions, this innovative material absorbs CO₂ during its lifecycle, making it a game-changer in sustainable construction. Similarly, cross-laminated timber (CLT) is gaining ground as a renewable, lightweight, and durable alternative to steel and concrete. As green certifications become the norm, materials like self-healing concrete, recycled plastics, and transparent wood are leading the way toward a more sustainable future. What materials do you think will dominate in the next decade? Are you already using any of these innovations in your projects? Let’s discuss your experiences and insights! #buildingmaterials #sustainabledesign #modernarchitecture #innovationinconstruction #engineeringexcellence

This is exciting to see a company exploring sustainability in construction materials. I recently had a friend manage his home building entirely by himself trying to make it as efficient and sustainable as possible and faced many challenges with getting contractors on board to use better materials. This post highlites a recent study comparing the carbon footprint of light gauge steel with traditional materials like wood and concrete. Showing that light gauge steel significantly reduces carbon emissions due to its efficient production process and recyclability. This underscores its role in promoting sustainable building practices. This could be a material of the future #SustainableMaterials #Construction #GreenBuilding

🚀 Innovative Low-Density Concrete Solutions 🚀 One of the challenges ACCIONA faced in the SureWave-project: designing a sustainable, low-density concrete solution for the inner core of wavebreakers to replace expanded polystyrene. 📉 Challenge: Replace expanded polystyrene (density: 15-30 kg/m³) with a concrete solution targeting around 300 kg/m³. 🧪 Solution: Through extensive trials, we developed a cellular concrete mix achieving 350 kg/m³ at 28 days, using 100% recycled lightweight aggregates. This breakthrough not only meets the density goals but also eliminates the use of primary aggregates, paving the way for more sustainable construction practices. #Innovation #Sustainability #Concrete #Engineering #Recycling #GreenBuilding #Acciona #Construction #EcoFriendly #SureWave

It gives me great pleasure to introduce my latest in:SITE guest, Steve Gilchrist.   I’m not sure I could have asked for a better chap to speak to on the Circular Economy topic, it was great to catch up with Steve.   I have known Steve for 10+ years, he is a first class construction professional who has had a stellar career working for Tier 1 Main Contractors (Sir Robert McAlpine), Structural Engineering Consultancies (Arup) and Developers (Grosvenor). Over the last 4-5 years, Steve has established himself as a true authority on sustainable build practices and materials re-use.   Steve has quite the profile………….   - Founder / Director of Propetual, a consulting business helping companies to develop their sustainable strategies. - Founder / Organiser of Circular Steel, a collective of industry experts working together to create a more circular steel economy.  - Author of Steve's Newsletter, a regular circular discussing the latest sustainable property and development news. - New Business Development Consultant to the Excess Materials Exchange.   Over the next week or so we will be putting out some bite size highlights from my chat with Steve. The full video will be up on our website next week. If you want to learn more about the Circular Economy, the fundamentals that underpin it and what the future holds, be sure to check it out - https://lnkd.in/ei-Gdm2v #circulareconomy #inSITE #buildspace #deliberatelydifferent
