GCB Zero Avoidable Waste in Construction – how best to interpret it
This report, funded by BEIS and carried out by the GCB's Resources and Waste Task Group in collaboration with Defra includes an in-depth discussion of the factors that have been considered to arrive at an interpretation of zero avoidable waste in construction. It will also help inform a subsequent route map to deliver the ambition, identifying recommendations and timescales for industry and government. Report available free online.

Innovate UK funded project: Vertical supply chain integration to deliver high volume ultra-low energy offsite construction
This is an older project from about 4 years ago. Citu specialise in developing properties so people can live a sustainable life. Their developments have eV integration and they are building the first car free school in Leeds

TCC funded project: AROPCQA – Augmented Reality for Operative Productivity & Continuous Quality Analysis
Creating a common platform to enable the use of augmented reality and other worker enhancements for a user-focused, practical system to improve construction processes. The use of AR in manufacturing suggest a productivity increase of up to 34%. Rework is a source of cost over-run but also 6-15% of this directly translate to waste. Previous design optimisation led to 25% materials savings and 20% carbon reductions

TCC funded project: Automated Construction Project - The Forge (105 Sumner Street)
The world's first 'kit of parts' office block paves the way for more productive and sustainable automated builds

TCC funded project: Automating Concrete Construction – ACORN
Currently up to half of the concrete used in buildings is unnecessary and is only there because it is shaped using planar formwork. By moving the construction of concrete buildings off-site and using robotics to allow beams, columns and floor-slabs to have the shape they need to do their job, rather than the shape they need to be easily formed, ACORN allows a complete rethink of the way material is used in our buildings

TCC funded project: Concrete Monitoring & Surplus Concrete Redistribution
Combines digital sensor technology in wet-concrete trucks with intelligent analytics to calculate the quality, volume & time remaining before the wet-concrete load sets

TCC funded project: Global Home Demonstrator
An alternative value-based finance and delivery model for affordable net-zero homes. Using manufactured homes to offer greater certainty of project underpinning a long-term, low-risk return to investors. Designed for whole-life cost so benefits to investors and occupiers

TCC funded project: HIPER Pile
A hollow and impression pile design and light-weight cement-free concrete to provide the same shaft-bearing capacity with fewer piles or narrower piles. The pile incorporates smart technology to monitor performance and the void can be used to integrate renewable technologies

TCC funded project: Live Automated Materials Plan (LAMP)
A machine learning GIS platform that uses real-time sensor and historical performance data to enable project planners to optimise bulk materials movements to and from site

TCC funded project: Optimising equipment use in construction with BIM, IoT and data analytics
Improving plant & equipment utilisation throughout the construction phase by monitoring via on-board IoT sensors; identifying patterns in equipment usage data to enable optimal planning; linking equipment output to the 4D BIM model and visualising the data
