The objective of the study is to investigate the use of recycled construction waste in 3D construction printing (3DCP). Specifically, the proposal was to characterise the recycled construction waste, assess its suitability for 3DCP, assess the physical properties of concrete structures produced by 3DCP, and asses the recycling of printed concrete into new aggregate.

This report intends to highlight to planners and other key stakeholders of the built environment the whole life carbon impacts of the continued construction of new low-rise, low-density dwellings on greenfield sites and to provide recommendations to mitigate these impacts by promoting a switch to a low-rise, medium density model.

The aim of this guide is to bring the reader logically through the pre-construction and delivery of construction projects using digital technology. It provides the background to the development of policy regarding the digitisation of construction over the last 10 years and puts the need for the provision of digital project delivery in context.
