Reviewing building and construcঞon methodologies to reduce energy consumpঞon. This includes increasing the use of more resource-efficient design and construcঞon methodologies such as aluminium formworks and increased the use of Building Informaঞon Modelling (“BIM”). These enable the prevenঞon of design conflicts; support more accurate forecast of raw materials required for projects and reduce environmental/carbon footprint and wastages. Progressively transiঞoning to increased use of site electrificaঞon, where feasible and conঞnued encouragement of subcontractors and suppliers to undertake the same. Conঞnued exploraঞon of use of temporary solar installaঞon for operaঞonal sites to offset dependence on diesel fuelled generators. Increased use of price lock-in and hedging mechanisms with suppliers based on a fixed duraঞon and established price ranges towards reducing cost escalaঞon risks. Also, increasing emphasis on selecঞon of material and workmanship while undertaking conঞnuous, stringent quality checks on building structural integrity.
