Brick Buddy Safety System
This contractor has implemented a multi award winning bracing system that their bricklaying contractors have brought with them on the development. This is a more simpler way and safer way of backing up party wall brick walls with an actual system, instead of using timbers and blocks, this also saves on materials by having an actual design which is quick...
Bat Friendly Roof Breather Membrane
This contractor has implemented a bat-friendly breather membrane for the roof. Bats are a protected species in the UK and play an important role in the ecosystem. Until now when bats are found, only Bitumen 1F felt has been used. This has come at considerable cost to the thermal performance of the roof because 1F felt requires extra rafter space...
Smart Silos
This contractor has implemented smart silos which provide live measurement of levels, ensuring replacement orders can be made precisely when needed, this prevents unnecessary surplus or wastage. Efficient ordering and usage tracking minimise excess deliveries, reducing the environmental impact associated with transportation and material production. The silo’s tracking gives usage metrics, allowing sites to monitor and optimise consumption patterns to...
Gel Tyres on Telehandlers
Traditional tyres are vulnerable to punctures which then leads to frequent replacements. Therefore this contractor made the decision to use telehandlers with gel tyres which drastically reduce this risk and prevent unnecessary disposal of damaged tyres. Fewer replacements mean fewer manufacturing and transport emissions associated with tyre production and delivery. This results in a measurable reduction in carbon footprint.
Large Scale Solar Farm Installation
On this project, the contractor installed 136 Solar Panels to the cabin roof at Woolwich by Acute Hoarding for powering the site accommodation. They have used the Enphase App to digitally track energy production and consumption live data. In one month 48% of the site welfare was powered by PV Panels, creating 17,200kWh of energy. This data is published monthly...

One in 100 people are on the autism spectrum and there are around 700,000 autistic adults and children in the UK. Everybody at this contractor was invited to join a Teams Meeting on World Autism Day to hear from Tim Young in their East...
Operative Feet Scans
Construction workers must wear protective footwear whilst on site. The bones in the foot are quite delicate and easily damaged and any muscle or tendon damage can prevent normal movement for several months or permanently. Therefore this contractor organised 360 degree surveys of the workforce’s feet carried out on site. They engaged with their PPE suppliers and looked for a...
Mock Trials 
Bespoke mock trials were aimed at site management to experience the potential legal aftermath of an imaginary accident involving a member of the public after boundary hoarding collapses due to materials leaning against it; the site manager being the defendant. The training takes place in the real court rooms in the presence of lawyers. Some members of staff play different...
Asbestos Recycling Scheme
This regeneration brownfield project required the demolition of several industrial units, this led us the contractor look into how they recycle materials such as the sheet asbestos product on the roofs. Recycling demolition asbestos is a new idea and this site was the first in the United Kingdom to use use this process. Using this method required meticulous planning to...
School Presentation on House Builders
The contractor engaged with a local school to their project to get children interested in construction and to understand what a house builder does. Due to restrictions the contractor can’t host their normal site visits so they created a presentation which can be watched at school on different house types and showed a recording of all the different stages of...
