I hope we all now understand the benefits of adopting DfMA/ MMC approaches to construction, the education, justice and defence sectors are reaping these, but how do we reduce the barriers to uptake of DfMA in the housing sector? It’s a real conundrum and a difficult challenge that we have faced head on in this far ranging study. #thoughtfuldesign

To enable a successful transition, retrofitting the UK's housing stock is essential - the connection between green skills, reliable quality standards, and a robust materials supply chain is crucial, and linking these three elements is not just a strategy; it's the key to unlocking our potential to meet decarbonisation targets, paving the way for a greener and more resilient landscape.

Exciting news for #industrial #decarbonization – in #Delaware and beyond!   Brokers Gary Lozoff and Dan Ritterman recently completed a long-term lease transaction for Compact Membrane Systems, which relocates the company to 15 Reads Way in New Castle. The new 15,500 sf location will house the company’s headquarters office, lab, manufacturing, and fulfillment platforms. Because of accelerating market demand for CMS’s proprietary products, the new headquarters location will support a tripling of CMS’s Delaware-based workforce by 2026.     Delaware Prosperity Partnership invested in this First State 30-year corporate growth story – by awarding CMS a Graduated Lab Space Grant of up to $746,480 (through the Council on Development Finance) and a Jobs Performance Grant of up to $115,000 (through the Delaware Strategic Fund).   Big shout to CMS’s new landlord, NAI Emory Hill and their broker, David Morrison, CCIM, for their large efforts to help CMS realize this strategic corporate objective.        State of Delaware New Castle County (DE) Government Matthew Meyer John Carney Exis Global #tenantrepresentation #commercialrealestate #optiperm #carboncapture

The Campaign to Protect Rural England has identified that the UK’s brownfield sites could provide 1.2m homes. While this is a pleasing statistic, it’s also important to remember that it’s not simply a case of turning up and building on these sites, and land remediation experts are very much required before any works can commence.   In the latest edition of PSBJ (Public Sector Build Journal), I talk about how the need for these experts is often overlooked and land remediation is regularly picked up by the main contractor, which nine times out of 10 is subcontracted a specialist anyway. Clients see this as a transferring of risk, but by negating this risk they’re not always getting the best possible value for money as those in the supply chain are – quite rightly – making their margin on the project. The main risk being transferred is what lies in the ground, a lot of which is unknown.     Frameworks, our Demolition and Land Preparation Framework in particular, are increasingly becoming a more prominent route for clients to get access to the services of a specialist contractor for land remediation, as they typically take away a lot of the legwork and the challenges associated with appointing via the open market.   Please have a read of the feature on page 16 and let me know your thoughts in the comments: https://lnkd.in/eEPuyCj3   #Frameworks #Procurement #LandRemediation #Brownfield

What are some of the issues affecting the constructional steelwork sector more widely? This was one of the questions we discussed with Ed Miliband, MP for Doncaster North and Shadow Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, and Dr David Moore, Chief Executive of the British Constructional Steelwork Association (BCSA), when they visited our facilities in Bentley. During the visit they got to see our facilities and find out more about what we do, our projects and our commitment to offering apprenticeships to young people locally, as well as our significant investment to deliver near net-zero operations. #Cementation #BetterTogether
