ACED Constructive Conversations | The Balancing Act: Managing Carbon, Cost and Construction

How can we deliver projects that are lower-carbon, commercially viable and genuinely buildable?

ACED Constructive Conversations invites you to join us at REDDIE Showroom, alongside our panel of industry leaders, exploring the practical tension between carbon, cost and construction, and how the industry can better balance all three.

The conversation will look at how early sustainability decisions can avoid costly changes later, where lower-carbon outcomes can be achieved without increasing capital cost, and how carbon ambitions can be maintained through value engineering, procurement and construction.

Our panellists:

Lisa-Maree Carrigan - Director and Owner at Group GSA

Alex Kobler - Director at E-LAB

Natalya Partington - Senior Carbon Planning Associate at Slattery

Tarini Pathak - Project Director at CBA
