Services
Built with Wisdom consultancy service is structured around a bespoke framework of six best practice themes that simplify and organise sustainability into areas that can be easily assessed and translate into a roadmap for implementation.
Alternatively, Nicola can support you with a particular project or prioritise and focus on a specific area for development.
Trading Sustainably
​
Trading Sustainably involves establishing a set of actions to help your company avoid the common reasons that small to medium-sized construction firms go into insolvency; to operate sustainably, a construction company must be in operation.
Design, materials and innovation
​
Building design solutions and the specification of materials provides huge opportunity to minimise negative impact on the environment and to support new technologies - progressively challenging the status quo and leading change.
Waste management
​
Changing the narrative around 'inevitable waste' through implementing company-wide best practice initiatives alongside your project-specific activities to successfully minimise the waste generated.
People
​
Sustainable buildings consider the people working on the development project, the local and wider communities impacted by the construction, and afterwards the occupants of the building.
Environment preservation
​
Meet the challenges of environmental preservation and protection
on your projects by delivering on opportunities that exist in addition to avoiding wasted resources and meeting legislative compliance.
Quality and ethics
​
​The best sustainable construction firms are lead by the highest standards in quality, supported by their ethical decisions and governance practices - ​going over and above regulatory compliance.
The UK construction industry faces many challenges, the mental health of its workforce is one of them. This is an enduring problem, with the Chartered Institute of Building finding in the UK that '26% of construction industry professionals thought about taking their own lives in 2019 and 56% of construction professionals work for organisations with no policies on mental health in the workplace.'
