Geospatial technology drives sustainability in construction sector

Geospatial technology drives sustainability in construction sector

Nearmap, a leader in geospatial aerial technology, is playing a crucial role in advancing the construction industry's path to net-zero emissions. By utilizing cutting-edge technology, Nearmap empowers organizations to achieve their sustainability objectives.

Amidst challenges such as lowest-price tendering, rising costs, and a skilled labor shortage, construction businesses are increasingly prioritizing decarbonization. Project stakeholders are seeking contractors who implement sustainable solutions, and sustainability requirements are becoming common in tenders.

The Australian Government's commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 43% below 2005 levels by 2030 further underscores the industry's responsibility. With buildings contributing a significant portion of Australia's annual carbon emissions, the construction sector has a crucial role in meeting these ambitious targets.

Having provided aerial imagery and geospatial technology since 2007, Nearmap recognizes the potential of technology in supporting the construction industry's journey to net-zero. The company offers technology tools that help businesses align with national sustainability commitments. Nearmap recently conducted a survey to explore how technology can assist the construction, engineering, and property sectors in achieving their decarbonization goals.
