Material efficiency is a start, but the real bottleneck in sustainable construction is usually the cost of low carbon alternatives and the lack of skilled labor to install them. I wonder if this report mentions any actual cost parity data.

Exactly. Software can optimize a design, but without procurement rules that mandate low carbon materials, the cheapest and dirtiest option usually wins the bid.

The mention of total carbon is good, but I want to see the breakdown of embodied versus operational carbon. If they are just shifting the burden, it is not a real win.

Standard corporate impact report. It sounds promising, but the specific metrics on how much carbon was actually avoided per project are missing here.
