Building sustainability requires action. But without research, change is a leap of faith. How do you make sure your circular ambitions become a reality?
The construction sector is facing a huge transition. By 2050, the construction economy must be fully circular. Many companies and governments want to move forward, but are bogged down by questions such as: What really works? Where do I start? How do I avoid mistakes?
Starting a circular project without thorough research is like building without a foundation. Chances are you will discover along the way that assumptions are wrong and costs are higher than expected. So: think before you begin.
No impact without insight
At Meijs Ingenieurs & Uitvoering, we help companies, governments and project developers turn circular plans into feasible strategies. That starts with the right questions:
- For property owners: How do I draft a circular request for demolition and renovation projects?
- For producers: How do I calculate and validate the carbon impact of a circular product?
- For governments: Which material flows in my region offer circular opportunities?
Good questions lead to valuable insights. Take, for example, a municipality that doubted whether circular insulation material collection made sense. Our research showed that 200 tonnes of insulation material was released annually, 60% of which was reusable. This insight led to a pilot project for circular reuse.
From loose ideas to concrete plans
A structured research process helps you make smart choices. We use five clear steps:
- Sharpening the question – What do you really want to know?
- Choice of method – Data analysis, interviews, practical research?
- Collecting data – Facts over assumptions.
- Analysis and interpretation – What do the figures mean?
- Conclusions and recommendations – What are the next steps?
Good decisions start with reliable knowledge. Avoid circular ambitions getting stuck in theory and make a plan that really works.
