How has sustainable trade practice given some businesses the edge in the building and construction industry?
How have they succeeded in developing skills and adopting practices that have put them ahead of their competitors? What is the opportunity they have seen and acted on with the global pressure to become sustainable?
We invite you to hear from the businesses themselves, small, medium and large. Watch their stories and learn about how they have become leaders in sustainable practice - and how this now equates to best trade practice.
Our vision is that this website will be an organically growing resource for those in the building and construction industry. That it will be a resource that inspires, informs and promotes sustainable practices. We encourage and welcome input from you, so please add a comment or email if you have your own trade secret to share.
National Sustainability Manager, Ann Austin, Bovis Lend Lease I would say that our sustainability journey is in our genes. It's been
something that's been part of the culture of Lend Lease... It's been a journey we have
been on right from the beginning, every action is adding up, and now we
are just really trying to progress our environmental credentials.

General Manager, Duncan Herbert, Solartex It's just still surprises me how many homes out there across the
capital cities are still uninsulated. The cost in not doing it is just
painful. We are wasting a lot of money and some buildings just become
unliveable. Watch.
Developer, Mike Hill, WestWyck You can't have sustainability without a strong sense of providing for a
healthy community where people interact and relate and share together... We have got to move back into people doing things more together in
quality public spaces, but our developers need to do that too. Watch.
