Additionally, it would also provide a timeframe to prove what we’re doing, collect the data to demonstrate the opportunity, and work together to shape the next steps of the journey.Ultimately, a mandate would create leverage, commitment and confidence as the industry moves towards change, with the government then able to look to build this into future frameworks, or to pursue new mechanisms for procuring our buildings.. Shaping the future of construction.
The next five years will be an exciting time for construction, as we continue to lean into this significant shift.We have to recognise that it will be a process of iteration and development, and that we must bring everyone along on the journey with us.Trudi Sully says that when looking back at where we’ve been so far, of course there are things which could have been done differently, but she reminds us that the point of learning, development and feeding back, is that it enables us to refine and make valuable changes over time.
The backing from the government to progress this is significant, and it’s incredibly important that we have that support..In the end, Sully says the key to our success will be a collaborative approach and a willingness to share.
Although it can be challenging in a competitive environment to work out what to share and what to hold back, history has shown us that change happens faster, more effectively, and at lower cost if we work together.
Industry players will always be in a better position by working with their competitors to overcome shared challenges, moving forwards collectively and then beginning to compete on the delivery side and what comes next.The active engagement of the community within the local area and their pride in the development is testament to the positive social impact of the project..
The project has also prioritised placemaking, providing great physical improvements to the neighbourhood.The formerly forgotten backland site now features pavilions surrounding a central communal green area, providing a fantastic outdoor space for the community to use and enjoy.
The lockdown imposed on us by the COVID-19 pandemic saw the urban garden-style placemaking at Churchwood Gardens really come into its own.Residents could easily get out of their property and into the natural environment, while still feeling safe..
