- Head of Global Systems at Bryden Wood.. Over twenty years ago, the Queen of Prefab, Amy Marks found herself talking to the C-Suite of one of the biggest contractors in the world.. She said, “I can show you a way that you can do more, with less people on the job site, and make these jobs shorter.”.The CEO responded, “Why would we want to do that?
That's where we make all our money.”.Now, Marks says, everything is changing.That sort of behaviour and thought process isn’t really acceptable anymore.
The owners want transparency.They want certainty around the data.
She believes the heart of this may come from the fact that “data is the new oil, the new currency.”.
It’s hard to get certainty around processes that change every single time, Marks says.Population growth coupled with the required infrastructure will generate massive amounts of carbon.
We must find ways to deliver what we need using much less.Optimisation of materials, better control of logistics, automation in construction, fewer people on site – all of these factors will help to create an overall lower carbon version of the built environment.
We’re already working hard with concrete manufacturers to find the lowest carbon form of concrete we can possibly use.We’re talking to steel manufacturers about the types of steel which will be made by electric arc furnaces powered by hydrogen fuel cells.
