The building industry faces several challenges related to emissions and city access.
Emissions Regulations, Access Restrictions in Urban Areas, Waste Management, Energy Use in Construction, Material Sourcing and Sustainability & Public and Regulatory Pressure.
The industry must stay ahead of these trends to remain competitive and compliant
Addressing these challenges requires the building industry to innovate, invest in sustainable technologies, and adapt to a rapidly changing regulatory landscape.
Using a Q-construction Hub will tackle most of the environmental challenges while bringing the building cost down by optimising and minimising transport movements and using (where possible) emission free vehicles.

What a Q-construction hub brings you....
get access to emission free zones; last mile CO2 free
reduce number of inner-city transport by 73%
When your construction site is located in an inner-city area, CO2 emissions zones may restrict the delivery of materials directly to your site. To address this, you can have your materials delivered to our Q-Hub, where we ensure they are transported to your site using emission-free transport. (when possible)
Deliveries from our hub to your construction site are efficiently managed using our platform. It provides all the necessary information on delivery times, project locations, and on-site usage, allowing us to consolidate all required materials. This approach significantly reduces the number of trips into town by up to 73%!
03
just-in-time delivery on site
Just-in-time deliveries eliminate the need for large storage capacities at your construction site and avoid the inconvenience of having multiple suppliers deliver small loads frequently. This approach also applies to equipment rentals.
To prevent your construction site from becoming cluttered, we offer a service to collect all your building waste on the return trip and take it back to our hub.
04
continuous building without logistic interruptions
This way of working makes sure that you can work in the most environmental AND efficient way, saving on costs and have no disruptions.
a fully integrated platform
a live overview of orders in process, shipments, deliveries, ETA's delays (even from eg. traffic jams, contents of orders, feedbacks on deliveries reports and CO2 reports and much more...
in our operational management system, transport management system and emission reports module while feeding this back to your systems.
Integrate your BIM or project management software to ensure your ordered products arrive on time in the city.
Order at the supplier using this schedule. Your ordering system will calculate order dates in relation to delivery dates.

Qonnect your BIM or project software and/or procurement software to the Q- platform. Connect with the schedule of materials needed per project, project part (eg level or room name) and the specific time the materials are needed.
The suppliers used transport company (or own delivery service) connects up to our platform with her own TMS or uses our integrated Transport Management System for controlling the delivery.of your orders timely.
This can also be oversea container shipments or plane deliveries first, followed by truck deliveries.
When delivered (timely) we will group all materials needed for that day (or even hour) for that specific project or even specific project part (like a room number or building level) and transport it into the inner-city building site in 1 load.
