Something else we've been working on over the last few months, in partnership with Beckstones Services, is Granite™, an online document, project and timesheet management system for the construction industry.

The built environment makes up a large proportion of emissions globally as does the actual construction process. Granite™ reduces the costs and environmental impact of the construction process in many ways:

1. it improves communication between designers, architects, drafters, builders and the client reducing the likelihood of errors and costly modifications
   
2. it significantly reduces fuel costs and time for trips between offices and sites to deliver drawings, and obtain mark ups, alterations and signatures
3. and it significantly reduces printing costs as modifications can be made and viewed online

Furthermore, FoundationFootprint™ can be used to forecast and track the carbon footprint of the full lifecycle of buildings and whole developments from concept, through construction, operation and decommission.
