Design for efficiency

By engaging in the early phases of projects, we can use insights to enhance design and planning processes for development and construction projects. A proactive approach to offering sustainable solutions has the potential to reduce both emissions and costs through a more efficient use of materials and energy.

Enhancing efficiency and insight with digital tools

Digital solutions in our operations enhance efficiency and further reduce emissions through optimized design, planning tools and digital carbon calculation. By using 3D models of buildings and infrastructure projects we improve visualization, coordination and collaboration with customers. This helps identify opportunities and risks early in the design phase, reducing errors and rework during construction and thereby avoiding emissions and use of resources.

We also use project efficiency tools, innovations developed by Skanska and partners such as Takta or Ditio, which allow improved planning, execution, monitoring and reporting in projects. They enable efficient allocation of resources and provide insights into safety management and productivity measures such as material, fuel and energy usage as well as equipment needs, while facilitating collaboration among teams through a shared view of project status.

We offer climate calculations and solutions to achieve sustainability certifications for our customers. In the USA Skanska cofounded Building Transparency which makes its Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator (EC3) system available to the industry.
