Constructing for the future: Can the duty of good faith improve payment in the UK construction industry? (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Adversarialism within the UK construction industry fosters poor payment practices. Thus, stakeholders down the supply chain consistently suffer cashflow issues which can cause insolvencies. This study consisted of a critical review of literature and... Read More about Constructing for the future: Can the duty of good faith improve payment in the UK construction industry?.

Low carbon heritage: Residents' views from Cumbria and the English Lake District World Heritage Site (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Carbon emissions from the built environment must be urgently reduced to mitigate climate change. Retrofit of existing buildings is key. However, heritage buildings pose a particular challenge, particularly domestic buildings where retrofit is mainly...
