Manufacturing is the sustainability strategy.
Most construction waste is created by cutting material in the wrong place. Building panels on jigs, from a cut list generated before production starts, removes most of that waste before it is ever produced. On a well-run panel package the offcut volume for an entire home can come down to a fraction of what a conventionally framed site produces.
Waste and material stewardship
- Cut lists and panel layouts are planned before production, which reduces offcuts and improvised cutting
- Repeatable components improve consistency and reduce rework
- Materials are selected with reuse and end of life in mind wherever the specification allows
Automation and labour
- Automation is our response to a shrinking skilled trade workforce. It allows a smaller skilled crew to produce more, and it holds precision that is difficult to hold by hand on a jobsite
- The efficiency that creates is passed through in what we charge our manufacturing clients
Envelope performance
- Continuous insulation and reduced thermal bridging are available where the panel specification and engineering support them, which can help a project reach energy targets well beyond code minimum
- Actual performance depends on panel specification, detailing, climate zone, and code requirements
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
In November 2022 Convergence Robotics completed the City of Vaughan's Better Your Business Program, a Sustainable Development Goals corporate mandate, committing the company to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals identified by the United Nations. The certificate was presented by the Mayor of Vaughan and the Executive Director of the UNFCCC's Youth Climate Report.
