Join Audrina Lim, to explore how Chandos construction is studying the hypothesis of ‘do less’ and how sustainability correlates to cost savings in construction. Through reviewing collaborative construction objectives, we’ll share our case study on how this leads to avoided emissions and how this can lead to our net zero pathway.

The Sacred Heart Parish project consisted of a full envelope replacement, upgrades to the structural foundations, adding structural steel, and a total interior fit-out, which includes a new nave & sanctuary, community hall, mezzanine, elevator, chapel, and classrooms. The team identified major savings opportunities through foundation design changes that resulted in time, cost, and emissions savings.
