20% of New Zealand’s total carbon emissions come from the Building and Construction Sector. How can we shape the future of the sector to reach New Zealand’s goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050?

Following the Paris Agreement and worldwide efforts to limit global warming temperature increases to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, Aotearoa has committed to a net zero carbon emissions future by 2050 through the Climate Change Response (Zero Carbon) Amendment Act 2019.

To reduce our carbon footprint and meet the country’s goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050, we need to prioritise sustainability in our building practices.

We can help you make more informed decisions about the future of your building assets to support your sustainability goals.

Upfront Embodied Carbon Cost Management covers Cradle to Practical Completion*:

  • Product Stage – A1 Raw Material Supply, A2 Transport, A3 Manufacturing
  • Construction Stage – A4 Transport, A5 Construction & Installation Process

We help you identify carbon and cost ‘hotspots’ by providing upfront carbon calculations with associated costs.

We then offer a unique carbon value engineering assessment (C02VE) to identify areas where alternative option discussions can take place, including alternative designs, materials, products, and construction methods (in collaboration with design teams) to achieve your sustainability or cost goals. Our multi-scenario design assessments allow for data-driven design decisions, making it easier for you to make informed choices and achieve sustainability goals.
