The most decisive choices are made in the earliest stages of a project, while its carbon trajectory can still change. We equip construction professionals to apply this methodology: eight training modules to understand the Avoid · Shift · Improve framework and apply it to real cases, from the structural system to the regulatory documentation.
Whether you are an architect, engineer or property developer, you come away with the trade-off matrices, the orders of magnitude for embodied carbon and the deliverables expected at tender stage: enough to turn a low-carbon ambition into decisions you can defend to a client.
