Cedral Whitepapers
Our latest whitepapers are compiled following in depth surveys and research with industry professionals and UK homeowners. They provide compelling insights about the construction industry’s attitudes towards emerging design trends, sustainability and meeting the UK’s chronic housing needs, alongside discussing homeowners preferences and perspectives that are shaping residential building exteriors.
Building the future: How architects are responding to the UK’s changing domestic homes sector
Driven by a growing urgency to meet sustainability targets, the need to adapt to climate change and advances in technology, architects, specifiers and installers are working together to reshape building design. We are witnessing a number of major trends as a result.
Firstly, the increasing focus on sustainability and climate resilience has brought about a shift towards eco-friendly materials, while energy efficiency and the need to withstand extreme weather conditions have become key design priorities. What’s more, retrofitting and adaptive reuse is now considered a crucial step towards meeting net zero targets.
At the same time, modular construction is gaining traction as a cost effective building method that allows for higher quality control while achieving faster delivery times and reduced waste. We carried out research among 250 architects, building specifiers and others working in construction/involved in the materials sourcing process to delve deeper into how they are embracing changes and challenges.
