Atlas Civil Design’s Post

It's now nearly 2 years ago since the industry-wide collaborative initiative, from Morgan Sindall Construction, SCAPE, HLM Architects, Cundall, Lungfish Architects and Innovaré Offsite Limited worked together to innovate a new process for designing and delivering construction projects, where reducing whole life carbon is the primary objective. By applying lessons learned (both good & bad) from past projects, challenging existing assumptions and utilising vertical collaboration across the whole supply chain, the Architects’ Journal award winning initiative drove exciting learnings to share. The 18-month journey, which began on the cusp of the first UK lockdown not only found new ways to approach carbon reduction in the construction design and delivery processes, but also new ways of working collaboratively as a group. Online brainstorming and research sessions became the norm, which further contributed to the success of the project for the team – finding new ways of working in more ways than one! Now, 2 years on, and a time of unprecedented and increased change and with the introduction of the Building Safety Act where the 'Golden Thread' it has never been as important to share our collective experiences to deliver fully complaint, sustainable, low embodied and operational carbon structural solutions. #collaborativedesign #sustainability #mmc #offsiteconstruction #sharedlearning

We have had the honour of hosting the Honourable Minister Steve Clark, Honourable Minister Neil Lumsden and Honourable MPP Donna Skelly at our advanced Modular manufacturing facility in Ancaster. Through our fruitful conversation with them, we realized that educating the development communities about Modular Construction, primarily volumetric steel modular, is imperative in the rapidly evolving construction industry. By understanding its intricacies and challenging misconceptions head-on, we lay the foundation for a more sustainable and efficient future in the industry. The positive ripple effect of this education reaches beyond construction sites, influencing urban planning, architecture, and environmental considerations. Hence, let's engage in open conversations and share accurate information regarding Modular Construction as we unlock new possibilities for creativity, quality and adaptability. Reach out to us to engage in more in-depth and compelling conversations about Modular: https://beccmodular.com/ #beccmodular #architecture  #sustainability  #construction  #modular  #affordablehousing  #netzero  #modularconstruction  #realestatedevelopment  #tour  #factorytour  #technology  #constructionindustry  #building

Join Us on October 18 at 1:30 PM US ET! The vision of a greener future is intertwined with the very spaces we inhabit. As construction impacts both our lived environments and the broader ecological landscape, the emphasis on sustainable practices in this sector is paramount. Leading the discourse on this pivotal issue at the 1Sustainability 2023 Global Sustainability Conference is Hanna Hallin, Head of Sustainability at SGDS Gruppen AB. Her session, "Building a Greener Future: Enabling Sustainable Construction to Make the World a Better Home," promises to be a deep dive into the confluence of construction and sustainability. In this virtual rendezvous, we'll deconstruct the innovative methodologies and frameworks that are reshaping the construction industry. Hanna Hallin, with her expertise honed at SGDS Gruppen AB, is poised to offer invaluable insights into the strategies, challenges, and triumphs of integrating sustainability into building and design. For professionals in the realms of architecture, urban planning, and environmental sciences, this session offers an enriched perspective on how the bricks and mortar of our buildings can reflect broader ecological commitments. Hallin will elucidate on the materials, technologies, and design philosophies that not only reduce environmental footprints but also foster healthier living spaces. But that's not all! You can access Hanna Hallin's enlightening session and explore sessions from over 40 speakers at the entire event, all for just $30! It's an incredible opportunity to immerse yourself in sustainability discussions. https://lnkd.in/eq-Gqw5C #Sustainability2023 #SustainableConstruction #GreenFuture #SustainabilityConference #BuildingForChange #climatechange

During a briefing at the Massachusetts State House this week, researchers from Wentworth Institute of Technology Construction Management program and MIT Center for Real Estate emphasized the importance of adopting the opt-in specialized code to help Massachusetts achieve emissions reductions and avoid the higher cost of future electrification retrofits.   The research team presented their study on net-zero building codes and housing affordability to Massachusetts policymakers. The authors stressed the urgency of the climate crisis and the need for more energy-efficient buildings in congruence with housing affordability and offered pathways to accomplishing both.   Read more: https://lnkd.in/gmRtFY5E RMI Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT Department of Urban Studies and Planning, MIT School of Architecture and Planning #Sustainability #BuiltEnvironment #EnvironmentalJustice #PolicyInterventions #HousingAffordability #Massachusetts #housing #realestate #netzero #construction #homebuying #sustainability #publicpolicy #climatecrisis Siqi Zheng, Zhengzhen Tan, Afshin Pourmokhtarian, Payam Bakhshi, PhD, PE, John Cribbs, Ph.D., Home Builders & Remodelers Association of Massachusetts (HBRAMA)
