We do amazing things in construction. The world around us will most likely last belong our ifetimes but with that comes a HUGE responsibility to create better. Construction hasn’t changed much and we can see that by the lack of productivity, even with BIM it hasn’t changed much. We waste an amazing amount of materials, time and money in our industry, this all has a carbon cost. So what is the low hanging fruit and what can we do easily?
In this session Matthew with give the lie of the land and so simple things to make BIG impacts.
