MKB Architects’ Post

Congratulations to Henry Boot for securing this scheme. We published project intelligence on this scheme back in August 2023 👀 If you were not successful in securing this scheme then ask yourself 'would we have had a better chance if we had known about this scheme earlier before it came out for procurement?'. Early project market intelligence enables your business to: ✅ Position with client teams as early as possible ✅ Influence a projects design, buildability and affordability ✅ Influence the procurement route or method ✅ Explore direct negotiation away from competitors You can't win them all BUT you can put your business in a better position to win more! #pipelineinsightbusinessforesight #contractors #businessdevelopment

This is great on so many levels

In the northern part of Nashville sits Parkwood Estates, a neighborhood that houses generational stories. But like other majority-minority communities, Parkwood Estates has felt the rejection of disinvestment year after year. They’ve also suffered the effects of climate change as summers get hotter with parks and green spaces few and far between, creating a heat island effect. One local non-profit, the Cumberland River Compact’s Root Nashville initiative envisioned a grassroots effort to engage residents to plant free trees, thanks to a grant from the Arbor Day Foundation. 12 neighborhoods were identified where planting efforts would be prioritized. The initiative was launched in the Parkwood Estates neighborhood, where 100 volunteers mostly made up of residents, got their hands in the dirt and planted 300 trees. Many more planting events are scheduled in other low-income neighborhoods. What grows out of this is an opportunity for residents to have a hand in shaping the future of their communities. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gW_daNr2

Feeling the bliss that comes with decluttering? 🌿 Creating space, donating what you don't use, and rejuvenating your home is incredibly satisfying. But let's be real, there's always that one room that feels like a mountain to climb. Which room do you hesitate to tackle? Sharing your decluttering journey can inspire others and maybe even spark a few tips for those tricky spaces. Let's embrace the challenge and transform our homes together. #questionoftheday #declutter #homeowner #room #home #cleaning #bobbielynnboligrealestate #remax #ilovemyclients #remaxlandan #ifyoulovewhatyoudoyouarewinning #homegoals #calgaryrealtor #realestateagent #realestate

Have you heard of 'deconstruction'? 🏡🔨 It's the eco-friendly alternative to demolition - instead of tearing apart valuable materials from your home (cabinets, countertops, wood, tile, etc) and dumping them in a landfill, Stardust's deconstruction team will carefully remove each piece so these materials can be reused for many more years. . If you're thinking of remodeling your home, we encourage all of our customers to look into deconstruction, for several reasons: 🌎 Stardust's deconstruction team charges nominal fee (demolition can cost thousands) ♻️ we carefully remove each piece, including cleaning up & moving all materials (demolition can leave dangerous debris behind) 💙 saves you time and money! 🌱 plus, it keeps reusable materials out of the landfill .

🌳 Green spaces matter. 🌳   We’ve been working with Windlesham Field of Remembrance to keep the field well-funded. Creating a distinctive visual theme to help visitors appreciate the running costs and encourage donations to the Friend of the Field scheme. With a graphic mark to emphasise the multi-functional uses of the field for both recreation and respite, a considered colour palette to compliment the surroundings and location specific messaging to draw attention. A donation is now just a click away while enjoying the field. We’ve loved working on this project. Let us know what you think with a reaction. 🙏 Thank you to Sophie Holt, for her kind words: "Liven Creative has re-energised the Friend of the Field scheme. We're already starting to see the benefit of their clarity and skill to bring our fundraising initiative to life. We appreciate their support and contribution to keeping our fields available for future generations." If you’re looking to make an impact, a fresh look design could be the answer.
