This technical lecture explored innovative permanent design solutions that can be adopted to improve buildability and reduce carbon intensive temporary works within façade retention schemes.

This presentation covered key design considerations including:

  • The considered stepped process of assessment to reach the adopted solution

  • Alterations to the permanent structural solution to enable the proposed sequencing

  • Onsite delivery in collaboration with the main contractor and appointed subcontractors
