In this opening episode of our mini-series in collaboration with Urban Future Labs, we explore why real-time construction data is emerging as a critical lever for decarbonising the built environment, and how smarter measurement can change both the economics and the carbon profile of major projects.\n \nBrittany Harris, a civil engineer turned founder, built Qualis Flow after seeing firsthand that the industry didn't have a data problem so much as a data capture problem. Qflow delivers the ground truth on construction sites, capturing real-time data on materials, waste, utilities, and carbon directly from site the moment it happens. No spreadsheets, no chasing suppliers, just fast, accurate data that helps teams ensure quality, reduce risk, minimise waste, and avoid costly rework or delays\n \nWhat you'll take away:\nWhy construction is responsible for ~40% of global emissions and why the industry still isn't truly reckoning with it\nHow Qflow turns a site photo into reliable, audit-ready embodied carbon data and what that means for project teams working at scale\nWhy the construction materials dataset Qflow is building may be as valuable as the software itself\nThe international appetite for construction sustainability data, from the UK to the US, Canada, and beyond\nWhy procurement and planning frameworks are struggling to keep pace with the tools that already exist\nShow Links:\nConnect with Brittany Harris, Co-Founder & CEO of Qualis Flow\nVisit the Qualis Flow website to find out more ...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/_9GeME1kV9EnV5AFiNgh-W6WzssGxLsyLV4wkXt7Kno/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzEyNzQ0LzE1OTYy/MTA4NzAtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
