In this episode of Stirring the Pot we’re having a kōrero with Kenneth Husted.
Unlock the secrets of successful tech transfer in the construction industry with our insightful discussion on the Endeavour Funded and HERA led Ngākopa Construction 4.0 research project!
Kenneth, project lead for the theme of Knowledge Transfer, shares how this unique initiative prioritises not only developing new technologies but ensuring they’re effectively adopted across the construction industry. He highlights the importance of early collaboration with end-users, working together to co-create solutions that meet real-world needs. Together, HERA CEO Troy and Kenneth dive into the knowledge transfer challenges faced in construction, where uptake often trails sectors like manufacturing.
They also discuss the project’s collaborative approach, involving experts on regulatory impacts, cultural expectations, and systemic thinking to support broad industry adoption. By focusing on tech transfer from the outset, the Construction 4.0 project aims to inspire transformative change in the sector. The ultimate goal is to provide tools and insights that empower the construction industry to advance through smart, sustainable, and inclusive practices.

In this episode of Stirring the Pot we’re having a kōrero with Professor Xun Xu.
Is data connectivity the key to transforming the construction industry? In this episode, we talk with Xun, who is the project led for the theme of Data Connectivity and Standardisation in the Endeavour Funded and HERA led Ngākopa Construction 4.0 research project.
We talk about the impact of data standardisation on real-time decision-making, productivity, and agility. Learn how effective data management can eliminate wasted effort and explore tools like the Common Data Environment (CDE), Asset Information Models (AIM), and Product Information Models (PIM). Xun also explains the importance of data dictionaries, information containers, and templates in ensuring consistent data across projects to enhance construction quality.
We also discuss moral data sovereignty and how it connects to culturally significant building models. Xun shares how regions like Canada, Hawaii, and the Pacific Islands are leading efforts to integrate indigenous knowledge into data frameworks. His insights call for systematic protocols to ensure a culturally inclusive approach in construction data management.

In this episode of Stirring the Pot we’re having a kōrero with Michail Karpenko, Kaveh Andisheh and Holger Heinzel.
In this episode, Michail, Kaveh, and Holger discuss the transformative concept of circular design in the context of Construction 4.0. Circular design focuses on reusing materials to extend their lifespan, reducing waste, and promoting sustainability. Unlike traditional models, which often lead to material disposal, circular design emphasises modular structures and innovative design protocols that allow materials to be reused indefinitely.
The hosts explore how Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) play a critical role by optimising material use, tracking building components, and predicting maintenance needs. They also discuss the importance of designing buildings for easy disassembly, seismic resilience, and fire protection.
Circular design is not just about environmental sustainability but also addresses economic success and social well-being, incorporating cultural frameworks like Mātauranga Māori. The episode highlights the challenges of integrating new design methods and software systems but emphasises the potential for a more sustainable and resilient future in construction through circular design.

In this episode of Stirring the Pot we’re having a kōrero with Helena Gervasio.
What if the key to a sustainable future lies with structural engineers? Join us as Associate Professor Helena Gervasio, from the University of Coimbra in Portugal, and HERA Structural Systems GM Kaveh Andisheh, delve into the crucial role of sustainability in construction.
With Helenas background in structural engineering, she explains how Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) can transform our approach to sustainable building by considering environmental, economic, and social impacts over a building’s lifespan. We discuss the need to evaluate both initial and ongoing embodied carbon, and how Building Information Modeling (BIM) can integrate environmental data for more informed design decisions.
This episode highlights innovative low-carbon strategies and features a compelling case study from Christchurch, showcasing practical solutions for designers to reduce carbon emissions without compromising structural integrity. We also explore the distinction between low-carbon and sustainable building practices, offering insights into current research projects aimed at bridging gaps in industry knowledge!

In this episode of Stirring the Pot we’re having a kōrero with Sarah McLaren.
In this episode, we chat with Sarah McLaren, Professor in Life Cycle Management at Massey University, and Sustainable Future Project Lead for the HERA led and Endeavour Funded Construction 4.0 research, about the evolving world of dynamic Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).
Sarah breaks down the key differences between static and dynamic LCA, emphasising how assessing environmental impacts over time is crucial, especially as we face the climate crisis. They delve into how future technologies and practices could reshape LCA for long-lived products like buildings.
Sarah also shares insights from her collaboration with BRANZ on electricity supply modeling and explores how integrating cultural perspectives, such as Māturanga Māori, can make LCA more holistic—incorporating social, cultural, and environmental impacts for better decision-making.

Register to attend our launch ceremony ‘Ka rongo te pō! Ka rongo te ao!
When: 18 June 2024 from 10am.
Where: HERA House, 17-19 Gladding Place, Manukau
We anticipate this will be a very exciting event with attendance by a large cross-section of the education and research sectors, construction, engineering and manufacturing sectors, iwi and tauira (students).
Our two kaupapa we will be launching are:
The Tohu App – this is a career pathway app for rangatahi. Statistics show there is a slow uptake of Māori into STEMM careers but tracking forward they will make up around 20% of our future workforce, so we have particularly targeted this app toward Māori students as we are keen to stimulate interest in and understanding of the possibilities in our sectors amongst younger generations through channels that they connect with.
HERA partnered with Auraki Group to develop the app which consists of interactive questionnaires that allow students to discover their alignment to ngā atua, identify their strengths, skills, and interests, and match these core values to STEMM-related jobs that align with kaupapa Māori values.
Ngākopa Construction 4.0 hub – as discussed in our podcast, our Endeavour supported research on Construction 4.0 “Developing a Construction 4.0 transformation of the Aotearoa New Zealand construction sector” has a dedicated focus on incorporating mātauranga Māori. As part of this mahi, the Ngākopa karakia and a branding entity developed from it has been gifted to represent our Construction 4.0 digital hub which will share research from across Aotearoa with links to this kaupapa. We are excited to publicly launch the Ngākopa branding and the digital hub as part of this ceremony.
HERA partnered with Maui Studio’s to deliver this mahi based on the whakaaro and guidance of the Mātauranga Māori roopu.
