Smart circular construction integrates construction 4.0 technologies, such as digital technologies, with circular economy principles to create sustainable and efficient construction practices within firms. It involves setting priorities for five values across 5 dimensions (areas) to achieve its full potential. These values are:
This value focuses on all efforts to achieve reuse, recycling and data management of buildings and constituent materials.
This value enables the reintroduction of secondary materials and promotes lean production and modular construction.
This value contributes to the unhindered, smooth flow of materials and components, easing the burden on virgin materials and ensuring the continuous adoption of secondary materials
This value ensures the management and reduction of physical building material waste throughout their lifecycle.
This value highlights the optimisation of buildings and the reduction of environmental impact.
We will evaluate your firm using 22 attributes organised within five (5) critical dimensions (areas) of smart circular construction. Each attribute will be assessed across five (5) levels of maturity: 1: unstructured, 2: beginner, 3: well-structured, 4: managed and 5: optimised.
Evaluate your use of technology systems and tools to facilitate secure and coordinated smart circular construction practices.
Assess your adoption of circular economy principles to improve the circularity of materials throughout the building lifecycle.
Evaluate your data management and smart circular decision-making within the construction material supply chain.
Assess the personal characteristics required to operate in a smart circular construction and the opportunities the firm provides to support its employees in developing these characteristics.
Assess attributes relevant to internal managerial procedures and external regulations to achieve the transition to a smart circular construction.
