Construction Productivity Roadmap.

Rebuilding for a Resilient Future:.The goal extends beyond simply replacing what was lost; it's an opportunity to build back better, creating more resilient infrastructure, sustainable communities, and a modern, forward-looking Ukraine through innovative design and strategic planning.. Watch Navigating the Energy Debate: Challenges and Solutions with Martin Wood, Adrian La Porta and John Dyson.If we had to crystallize to an extractable conclusion from this fascinating discussion, it would be that clear regulation and guidance, with clarity about the long-term evolving economics and more deliberate and extensive collaboration are what will most strongly drive and facilitate industry to address the solvent dilemma..

When you bring knowledgeable and thoughtful people together to address a problem there is a strongly perceived risk.That is the risk of just further discussion, just more circular arguments, just more vacillation and no action.How valuable will it be?

After all there were people in the room that in their own fields were already working very hard on these issues and had deep insight into it..Forming new connections across a broad sweep of the whole ecosystems of solvent use in Pharmaceutical and Agrochemical manufacture seemed to create some new insights, clarity and catalyse future collaborations.. What is the solvent dilemma?.

Solvents are used in large quantities in chemistry-based processing, their release to the atmosphere is climatically impactful, their waste streams are environmentally toxic, they represent a significant cost and risk in terms of treatment and regulation.

There is a significant problem and no clear single path to addressing it.There are various stages of information involved in the creation of a new building, or an extension of a domestic dwelling.

Architects produce one set of information to one set of criteria, submitting it to planners who then need another, and particular, set of information.From there it goes to the people who might approve the building, or the people constructing the building.

In reality, though, all of these people just need slightly different slices of the same information.If everyone could agree and collect information to the same standards, sharing the same pieces of information upon creation, and when changed, it would unblock the system and lead to significantly greater efficiency..
