Objectives:
The Taywood zero defect project
aims to change the construction process so that fewer defects occur as
a result of inadequate or inappropriate processes. This includes all stages
from client brief of the architect through to final handover.
Within the Taywood project
CWCT is carrying out a supply chain analysis of the cladding industry in
order to identify ways of improving the process of procuring cladding.
