In this episode of Building sustainably: the road to net zero, Phil Marsden, Director of Project Management at Muse Developments, joins Chris Lavery to discuss how sustainable development can be achieved by building more simply, more efficiently, and more thoughtfully.
How can the supply chain work together to reduce carbon? How can we build with less to create more efficient buildings? It's no easy feat, but something that Muse Developments is tackling head-on.
Having set out to deliver the most holistically sustainable commercial building possible, Muse Developments is in the midst of completing the Eden office building in Salford. Delivered by the English Cities Fund, their long-standing partnership with Homes England and Legal & General, Eden is designed to be Net Zero in operation, targeting a NABERS UK 5.5* rating, and built in accordance with Passivhaus principles.
It's also been achieved at a cost of only 2-3% more than a traditional office building. As Commercial Managers on the project, we're delighted to welcome Phil to explore how.
Working with landowners and the public sector to achieve sustainable regeneration, Phil has more than twenty-two years of experience in the construction industry, including nearly six years as a quantity surveyor for Gleeds.
After earning a BSc in Quantity Surveying from the University of Salford, Phil spent four years at Harvey & CO as a Quantity Surveyor before briefly moving to WT Partnership in the same role. After Gleeds, he became an Associate Partner at DBK before joining Muse Developments, where he's been for the last eight years.
