Partnering with manufacturers Mykor and Balticfloc, we will be retrofitting an early 20th century industrial building in Ladywood, Birmingham that will be transformed into an educational community space for not-for-profit organisation CIVIC SQUARE. The pioneering use of these innovative materials will be monitored by the University of Bath. The project, funded by the EU’s research and innovation programme Horizon Europe, will be running from December 2023 to May 2027 and is coordinated by the Université Côte d'Azur.

INBUILT emphasises a shift from traditional construction models to more sustainable and efficient methods and will pioneer ten innovative products and systems, including large-sized rammed earth blocks, recycled fired and non-fired bricks, hybrid straw-clay boards, bio-based recycled insulation sheet panels/infill to name a few! INBUILT also aims to integrate a digital platform employing a Building Information Modelling (BIM)-based approach, which will be responsible for streamlining the construction project´s entire lifecycle.
