Creating steel buildings structures with up to 40% less embodied carbon is a phenomenal achievement, and one that Donovan Group is proud to own. We talked with Director Gavin Tonnet to understand more about how Donovan Group has worked with Building 4.0 and Monash University to verify this figure, the carbon journey so far, and his huge optimism for the future.

Efficiency in design and manufacturing can go hand-in-hand with environmental sustainability. You just have to have the right mindset. In the quest for creating better buildings and a more efficient business, Donovan Group has landed on a solution that creates buildings with a remarkable 40% less embodied carbon.

A Kiwi-designed structural system used in the construction of large-scale steel commercial and industrial buildings results in a reduction of carbon emissions by more than 40 per cent, an Australian university research project has found.

At Donovan Group, our mission is to transform the building ecosystem with technology that drives efficiency, and products that solve entrenched construction challenges. One of the ways we’re achieving this is through our partnership with Building 4.0 CRC.
