What better way to start the new quarter than with a #CrazyforConTech Q&A!   This week features Leise Sandeman, Co-Founder of Pathways, who track carbon emissions generated by construction materials at a time when manufacturers are under increasing pressure to meet sustainable mandates.   📣 💰 First and foremost, Leise and Romey discuss Pathways' recent $2.5 million pre-seed round led by Zacua Ventures and Pi Labs; 'Having exceptional investors and access to resources that can truly revolutionize manufacturing is a great feeling. The round was oversubscribed, bringing in over $4 million. This allowed us to select investors who deeply comprehend our industry, particularly in material manufacturing. This understanding is pivotal as we contemplate our growth paths.'   Read the full interview below to find out more 👇 https://lnkd.in/eYadPTC5 #contech #construction #sustainability

How many CSO’s in the South West Water area will this programme remove in the next AMP period, and having committed this investment, what reduction in the current 58,000 plus sewage discharges per annum can we expect to see? Does this investment allow you to keep pace, in sewage system capacity terms, with the number of new homes that will be built in the region during this AMP period? How much of this is additional infrastructure investment, as opposed to ongoing maintenance investment, to catch up with under provision in this respect in previous AMP periods? Does this investment include the two unnecessary water desalination plants that you are proposing in Cornwall? How much of this investment will be directed to address the circa 127million litres per day of treated water wastage that South West Water currently lose through unaddressed leakage? By how much will the current unaddressed leakage be reduced as a consequence of this investment, by the end of AMP8? #watercrisis #sewagecrisis

Delivering a functional, flexible research greenhouse is tremendously complex. Project owners have several critical considerations they must address when developing a quality greenhouse plan.

#WhatDoesItTake to improve #SpeedToSpade? New Zealand is facing a growing infrastructure deficit. We need to unlock more efficient and cost-effective methods for delivering infrastructure - at scale! There are great examples of fast-tracked projects both here in New Zealand, and overseas where efficient delivery has unlocked early value. Check out the link below, where Aurecon shares insights drawing on both local and international examples, on ways the industry can deliver faster, including: - Unlocking real early benefits through flexible and scalable infrastructure solutions - Leveraging automation, standardisation and AI - Parallel delivery of early project phases, such as business case, consent and concept design - Fast-tracking detailed design into construction through collaboration with construction partners - Building social licence through strong relationships with iwi, community and property owners.

🚀 Industry Insight: On a scale of 1 to 10, I’d give the construction industry’s potential for growth a 2.5. Here’s why: while we’re ahead of 70-80% of our competitors, construction remains a “dinosaur” industry—resistant to change and innovation. Most of my time is spent tracking down new tech and ideas that should already be mainstream. When I ask others about adopting new approaches, the response is often, “What are you talking about? That doesn’t exist!” It’s time to push forward, adapt, and bring our industry into the future.

Large RE-AECO players are moving faster than we realize. We should take more pride in the industry's achievements. Over the past 20 years, it has undergone significant transformation. We deserve more credit for this progress. It's time to make construction appealing again. Young people are drawn to companies that are at the forefront of Construction and technologically advanced. #innovation #construction #arcoftransformation
