Abstract
The UK Government aims to achieve net-zero buildings by 2050, thus prompting many construction companies to adopt sustainable practices. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) make up a significant portion of the sector and face challenges in embracing digitalisation through BIM, which could facilitate this transition. This paper presents initial findings from a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) project focused on enhancing digitalisation and achieving net-zero within an off-site construction SME. The research adopts Action Research to identify barriers to implementing BIM and Lean towards net-zero and propose improvement actions. The study emphasises incorporating digital tools through the project's lifecycle, using sustainable materials, accurately measuring carbon footprints, enhancing production processes and optimising production workflows. This research offers insights on innovative technologies driving net-zero initiatives within off-site construction SMEs.
