The End of Building Waste: How Reusable Framing Systems are Creating a Sustainable Construction Future

Episode 20 - "The End of Building Waste: How Reusable Framing Systems are Creating a Sustainable Construction Future " with Ged Finch from X-Frame.

Ged is the Director and Research & Development Manager at X-Frame; one of the worlds most innovative and forward thinking property and construction companies. For those who do not know, X-Frame is a recoverable and reusable framing system for the next generation of sustainable construction.

Useful extract from the X-Frame website: a platform technology in which supplementary technologies and systems can be developed. X-Frame™ aims to begin the transition to circularity in construction by offering a structural frame that is capable of facilitating the recovery and reuse of almost all building layers.

Today we dive into the challenges the global construction industry faces in achieving a sustainable, carbon zero building industry - and why Ged was forced into rethinking how a building is designed, assembled and disassembled. In a simple form, Ged has invented a mechano set for real life buildings, capable of being used multiple times, storing carbon, being completely adaptable. repeatable and insanely structurally robust against earthquakes and hurricane force winds. For anyone looking to work with one of the worlds most solution focused construction companies - this is it. Delivering financial, sustainable, operational and performance benefits beyond the traditional industry standard. It is people like Ged Finch and X-Frame why we founded the Built for Life Podcast!

30% of all waste is a result of building, renovation and demolition activities. This is unprecedented.
