The design sprints themselves were appropriately segmented, cognisant of the fact that the final sprint should be quicker as more of the outstanding questions would have been generically answered..

: Robert Gordon University in Scotland was selected for this project, focused.on transforming the delivery of rural housing via design optimisation and prototyping, in order to facilitate faster, scalable and digitally integrated production.

The project also offered the added benefit of attracting digital natives into housing construction.: A program by the University of Sussex in association with the British Parking Association, TransPark explored how car parking could be revolutionised.With an increase in the number of electric cars on the road, and our need to be connected all the time, the program investigated how car parks could function in an integrated and digitally enabled way..

Currently, the TCN+ stakeholders are in the process of articulating their findings, and plan to share their observations with the business community over the next six months.Due to the longstanding fragmentation of the construction industry there won’t be a panacea, but most companies in the sector will find something interesting in the conclusions.

The projects have served as catalysts for change, helping to progress us further toward our goal of modernising and positively shaping the future of construction..

The research has also led to interesting collaborations and networking opportunities with other Transforming Construction Challenge partners and beyond.We’re very proud to be working across healthcare in the UK to advance the next generation of hospitals..
