Through a comprehensive survey questionnaire, I aim to uncover key insights into how these stakeholders approach sustainable construction and navigate the current housing market challenges. 🌍 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀: - Evaluating investor motivations and challenges in sustainable construction - Understanding current investment priorities and future scope  - Identifying barriers and opportunities in the real estate market - Assessing participation of investors and property owners in the present UK housing crisis 📊 Why This Research Matters: The findings from this study will offer valuable insights into green infrastructure investments, enabling a deeper understanding of the sustainable construction market and its growth potential in the UK. This research will be instrumental in assessing current policies, building regulations and climate targets set by the UK government, helping to compare current progress with future investment opportunities in the construction industry. 🔗 Get Involved: If you are an investor or property owner in the UK, I invite you to participate in this study and contribute your insights. Your feedback will play a crucial role in advancing our understanding of the construction landscape.

🌟 Key Updates to NSW’s Codes SEPP 🌟 The NSW Government has released significant updates to the State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP) (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) for 2024. These changes aim to streamline approvals, encourage sustainable development, and ensure compliance aligns with modern planning priorities. Here’s what you need to know: ✔️ Simplified Processes: Enhanced clarity and consistency in complying development pathways, making it easier for homeowners and developers to meet requirements. ✔️ Increased Sustainability: New provisions for energy efficiency and environmental resilience to align with NSW’s net-zero goals. ✔️ Housing Boost: Updated codes to support medium-density housing and granny flats, addressing Sydney’s housing supply challenges. ✔️ Improved Design Standards: Stronger emphasis on accessibility and liveability, ensuring future developments meet community needs. ✔️ Compliance Made Clearer: Enhanced guidelines for councils, certifiers, and planners to ensure everyone is on the same page. 💡 These updates reflect the NSW Government’s push to create a more liveable, sustainable, and efficient urban environment. 📢 Why does this matter? As planners, architects, and developers, staying on top of these changes is essential to delivering compliant and future-focused projects.

The myth about Brownfield sites! We're often told that brownfield sites are the key to delivering much needed housing without impacting the open green belt or using undisturbed areas of land. We regularly hear that developers just want to build on greenfield land because its easier, but this is simply a matter of fact. Peter Dickinson Architects work on residential development schemes on both greenfield and brownfield land and currently we have three sites stuck in the quagmire of local planning and the complications linked to brownfield sites. Whether its a lack of positive action by case officers or the numerous hurdles created by countless consultation processes, these sites which should be considered as ideal locations for sustainable new homes, are caught up in planning for almost 12 months. Ensuring that a site is suitable for development is an essential part of the development process, but when a site is presented that delivers vital new dwellings in sustainable locations, and without resulting in the loss of green space, there should be a concerted effort from planning authorities and the various consultees to deliver a swift approval. Instead, every bump in the process leads to another delay and the lack of enthusiasm from local planning authorities to get these applications over the line is abundantly clear.

Green Star Projects | Building a Sustainable Future Achieving a Green Star 5-star rating is a significant milestone for construction projects, and we are proud of the strides we're making with our clients towards this goal. At the heart of our efforts is our vision of doing no harm to the communities we build in. We recently sat down with Tayla Fairthorne, our ESG Manager, to discuss some of the challenges in achieving a Green Star rating and how we're working to overcome them. One key strategy has been the implementation of a central tracking system for Green Star requirements, helping our teams monitor the credits they are working towards. Tayla has also initiated Green Star Working Groups, bringing together team members to foster open discussions and share lessons learned across different projects. This collaborative approach ensures that we continue to innovate and improve our practices. Watch the video to learn more about the key credits we are working towards and how we are collaborating with our clients to improve sustainability outcomes our projects. #architecture #Engineering #constructionlife #TheKapitolWay #building #ConstructionIndustry #constructionsite #KapitolGroup #civilengineering #projectmanagement #constructionwork #Melbourne #Construction #constructioncompany #ConstructionManagement #constructionequipment
