Example questions

Some examples of possible questions are listed below. Construction is however a diverse sector so we would encourage companies to submit all of their questions, even if they are quite different from the sample questions below.  It is likely that there will still be academic expertise here at Edinburgh capable of responding to them.

• How do we create a more sustainable cladding system and yet maintain efficiency?
• What are the health and safety considerations of a multi-lingual construction site?
• What opportunities are there to incorporate sustainability and cost-saving into design?
• What are the alternatives to the use of polymer materials in construction?
