Great to see Homes NSW and NSW Government investing in the future of homes delivery by partnering with Building 4.0 CRC. We currently have 67000 families on the waiting list for social and affordable accomodation - many of which are at risk women, children. There is an estimated shortage of more than 220k affordable homes TODAY. With construction industry running at full capacity, this shortage is adding to the affordability and availability crisis. Targets are great, but deliver nothing. Active, practical and deliberate support by governments to create a new industry that will support tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs (think flexible, safe and inclusive positions) to deliver housing faster, safer, better and wirh less waste. PT Blink is ready to support this initiativeand deliver more housing NOW!

Great news! The Arthur D. Little Viewpoint on the European Renovation Wave, authored by Dominique Trancart, Kurt Baes, Frederik Van Oene, Amaury Terlinden, and myself, has been published. With 35 million buildings set for renovation in this decade, the European residential renovation market holds immense potential, offering opportunities for the construction sector. The pace of this growth will hinge on overcoming challenges like labor shortages, varied technologies, financing gaps, and weak support. Success lies in collaborative efforts from supply and demand stakeholders. 🤔 Can the EU member states achieve the ambitious renovation goals, considering the current slowdown in renovations? #building #renovationwave #construction #europeanunion

We began our Thrive Alliance consortia forums yesterday in Adelaide. Tomorrow, we will have another session with tens of millions of dollars of R&D in place and ready to scale up on the 21st of May in Sydney to begin to meet the staggering shortage of affordable/social housing open to the NSW Govt joining us in our planned showcasing project. "Speed to market "is the market opportunity for advanced modular construction. The Thrive Alliance has over 100,000 major urban reference projects worldwide. Our "Thrive Alliance" Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) in Australia and internationally is made from renewable plantation forest trees. CLT=stored carbon capacity is up to 40,000 inclusive "residential grade" midrise apartments per year, targeting the "Essential Workers" and Baby Boomers. This includes social housing on a scale (including disability workers) across Australia, including Regional Australia, built in up to 75% less time than current custom. A concept below in CLT is a walkable urban village with a sense of community where people can look out for each other, near Railway Stations, Tram stops, Jobs, shopping, Schools, Hospitals, and amenities. https://lnkd.in/gWyWuHD

▶ The need for affordable housing and the use of digitalization: these were the topics in the recent meeting with Sören Bartol, Parliamentary State Secretary to the Federal Minister for Housing, Urban Development and Building (BMWSB). Together with Clemens Kuhlemann from Deutsche POROTON, our Chief Digital Officer & Chief Human Resources Officer, Michael Leicht, engaged in a fruitful dialogue emphasizing the importance of affordable housing and leveraging digitalization for a more efficient and sustainable construction industry. As part of the Coalition for Sustainable Solid Construction, we advocate for technological innovation and openness in the sector to achieve cost-effective and sustainable housing solutions. Through initiatives like BIM-based planning and digitalization, we're not only boosting efficiency but also reducing costs and waste throughout the construction process. Michael Leicht: “We look forward to continuing our dialogue with the BMWSB to jointly address the future of housing in Germany.” #construction

The demise of ISG serves as a stark reminder of the challenges of working in construction. In recent years, a combination of factors has collided to clog the gears of progress and the knock-on effect is hitting bottom lines and supply chains. But amid the uncertainty, there are glimmers of opportunity, and companies are adapting to maintain a competitive edge. So, what are the biggest challenges and how can these be overcome? Our commercial director Stanley Leask reveals his thoughts and how Thames & Newcastle is responding.

2024 ANNUAL CONFERENCE | 3 September 2024 The Building 4.0 CRC Conference 2024 is Making it happen. The best and brightest minds in building and construction in Australia and from around the world will come together to discuss and debate the key challenges facing our industry:   — How do we build a sustainable MMC (Modern Methods of Construction) industry? What works? What doesn’t? What successes can we apply and what pitfalls can we avoid? — What policy and regulatory reforms do we need to accelerate MMC? Why isn’t MMC business as usual? How do we foster the champions for change? — What is driving the burgeoning demand for social housing? How can we meet it? — How do we extend building life? Why don’t we retrofit or repurpose buildings, instead of pulling them down? — What business models support environmental and economic sustainability? How do we create a circular building economy? — How do we get to the future?   Join us as we bring together solutions to unlock the future of building, build relationships and see outcomes on a global scale.
