Funding for more efficient buildings

£12.5 million for innovative projects

It has been announced that up to £12.5 million of taxpayers' money will be made available to increase productivity, performance and quality in construction through the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund.

UK organisations can apply for a share of the fund for projects to transform how the construction sector delivers new buildings. The funding is provided by UK Research and Innovation and delivered through Innovate UK.

The organisers are looking for projects that address the three main stages of the construction lifecycle. Specifically, they should focus on how we:

  • design and manage buildings, such as using digitally-enabled performance management systems
  • construct high-quality buildings, taking a manufacturing approach
  • power those buildings, for example, through the use of active energy components

The idea proposed should ultimately lead to cost savings, reduced delays and improvements in collaborations, productivity and outputs.
