The Product Platform Rulebook, delivered as part of the Government’s Transforming Construction programme, is a shining example of what can be achieved when government and industry come together to drive change.
The Rulebook remains one of the Construction Innovation Hub’s most influential outputs and forms a key enabler for the Infrastructure and Projects Authority’s (IPA) Transforming Infrastructure Performance (TIP) agenda.

The decision to pass the Rulebook over to the CLC for update has been warmly welcomed by leading figures within the former Construction Innovation Hub.
The Construction Leadership Council will be taking over the reins of the Product Platform Rulebook in 2024. This work will see the Rulebook revised and re-released in the form of a new ‘Platform Playbook’, setting out a clear path to the adoption of platform approaches for social infrastructure delivery.
The group is chaired by Ron Lang, former Chief Technical Officer of the Hub and now Regional Director at AtkinsRéalis: “The Product Platform Rulebook and the concepts it contains present a logical path to a more industrialised, more productive construction sector. But this work is far from complete, and we continue to learn through our collective experiences of applying these concepts in practice.
“I am delighted to have the opportunity to lead the next step in its development through the CLC and thank my industry peers for continuing to commit their time and

The Hub’s Programme Director, Keith Waller, believes the Rulebook still has a powerful role to play going forwards: “Yet another of the Hub’s output has found a new home to drive forward its legacy. Given that our analysis identified that the adoption of platform approaches in construction could unlock long term productivity gains of up to £7.8bn per annum, I am delighted the CLC will now be using its convening power to ensure these benefits can be achieved.”

Bricks incorporate carbon sequestration technology
Marshalls announce the launch of their latest line of concrete-facing bricks, Glenwall, using CarbonCure Technologies to inject waste carbon directly into the concrete mix during production. Once injected, the CO2 mineralises and becomes permanently locked into the concrete, preventing its release into the atmosphere, even upon demolition. It’s estimated that the use of CarbonCure Technologies at Marshalls will remove approximately 30,000kg of CO2 annually, contributing to a more sustainable future. With a rusticated texture adding depth and character, these bricks are available in four traditional colours and excel in longevity, showcasing frost resistance and offering Euroclass A1 fire resistance for maximum safety in construction projects. For more information on the Glenwall range, please visit their website or contact Marshalls by phone or email.

New ECOMOD natural refrigerant heat pumps
Ideal Heating Commercial has launched its next generation ECOMOD heat pumps, with natural refrigerant – starting with the ECOMOD 290HT. The ECOMOD 290HT is a monobloc air source heat pump able to achieve high temperatures up to 75°C, whilst benefiting from an ultra-low global warming potential (GWP) of just three as a result of the use of R290 natural refrigerant. An ultra-low GWP is not only good for the planet, but also makes commercial sense as high GWP refrigerants become increasingly scarce and therefore more expensive. Available in three chassis sizes and five outputs from 15kW through to 50kW, ECOMOD 290HT has been specifically designed for use in larger commercial buildings and can be used in cascade to achieve even higher outputs.

CUPACLAD solution for Tree Top Hideaway, Angers
Near Angers in France, an original and contemporary architectural creation captures the essence of the tree surrounding it, serving as a remarkable physical metaphor. To comply with the ABF regulations and the contemporary approach, the architect proposed a bold combination of vertical wooden cladding and the CUPACLAD Design Waterfall solution, featuring graphic lines that reach elegantly towards the sky. This design is unique, as it is the only CUPACLAD design where natural slates are installed vertically instead of horizontally. According to the architect, the Waterfall aesthetics are reminiscent of the verticality of trees and evoke their ascent towards the sky. In addition to the aesthetic aspect, CUPACLAD offers acoustic and thermal advantages that appealed to the owner.
