The Horizon Europe project INBUILT aims to bring a shift in the European construction industry by integrating circular economy and digitalisation. By using locally sourced materials and reusing components, INBUILT seeks to reduce waste and strengthen the resilience of the construction sector.
Strategy
INBUILT’s strategy involves the up-scaling and demonstration of 10 innovative products and systems, including large-sized rammed earth blocks, recycled fired and non-fired bricks, hybrid straw-clay boards, recycled concrete and recycled concrete blocks, prefabricated waste wood external and internal wall elements, smart windows with recycled glass and bio-PUR frames, bio-based prefabricated curtain walls, recycled waste paper and textile fibre insulation mats, bio-based recycled insulation sheet panels/infill and second life photovoltaic panels.
Digital Integration
Central to INBULT is an advanced digital platform utilizing Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD). This platform ensures optimal project lifecycle management—from design through to end-of-life — streamlining processes, enhancing productivity, and ensuring that all materials and systems are utilized to their fullest potential.
Demonstrating our innovative solutions
Our innovative solutions, already validated at the lab scale, are set to be upscaled and demonstrated in real building environments. Demonstration sites in France, the UK and Germany will showcase the practicality and benefits of our products.
