The Zero Carbon Hub has released its latest report continuing the work on the Design versus As-Built Performance Gap Project. This report summarises the evidence gathering and assessment process undertaken between August 2013 and January 2014. It provides industry and government with a structured review of how and where the Performance Gap occurs within the current housebuilding process. This has involved a co-ordinated analysis of published literature and confidential industry research, and the development of a process review methodology to gather primary evidence from housebuilding delivery teams, including visits to live construction sites. The evidence collected so far has been used to prioritise which issues are considered to be the major contributors to the performance gap. It identifies 15 issues classified as ‘Priority for Action’ that require solutions in the very near future, by industry, and where necessary, involving Government intervention.
