Welcome to The Future Distributed Podcast, the weekly show that brings you the latest and greatest in Built Environment Innovation from around the world.     

This week’s show comes from London. I sat down with Hannah Vickers, the CEO of the Association for Consultancy and Engineering and the woman behind many important industry transformation programmes within the UK. 

In this episode, we’ll be answering some big question like:  

• Why is the current model of designing and constructing broken? 
• What is Project 13 and what impact will it have on the UK Infrastructure delivery model? 
• And what is the Future of Consultancy campaign and how will it impact the sector?

• How can pre-fabricated housing meet the urgent requirement to build more, high-quality homes in cities around the world? 
• What are some of the benefits of manufacturing houses in this way? 
• And what are some of the key areas that BoKlok will be focussing on as they scale their operations overseas.
