Global low-carbon construction methods: optimising materials, design and build webinar

Overview

Reducing embodied carbon in the built environment requires the construction industry to embrace low carbon, sustainable methods of building and close collaboration across all project stages.

This one-hour webinar provides a practical look at how the environmental impact of your projects can be minimised by combining sustainable materials and design with modern methods of construction – including prefabrication and precasting, modular builds and fabric first. It will also consider the barriers of adopting and scaling discussed methods, explore the role of surveyors from design to build, and share lessons from markets where low-carbon construction methods are well established.

Attendees will gain an introduction to range of low-carbon and modern construction methods – along with their benefits and challenges – and gain crucial insights into following green best practice.
