Within the context of a UK and global challenge to tackle climate change, we have partnered with Scottish Enterprise, Zero Waste Scotland and Construction Scotland Innovation Centre to design and launch PORTAL, a new way of thinking about how we deliver quality industrial space and premises in Scotland.
PORTAL is an approach to building, not a building solution. It is a product based on improving the value of our buildings while also taking positive steps towards meeting the challenges of the Circular Economy.
The PORTAL product is built around a methodology and toolkit that offers a staged approach to designing industrial buildings. We believe the approach has sufficient built-in flexibility to offer value to both public and private sector investors.
PORTAL is founded on the following key principles:
- Delivering Circular Economy principles
- Redefining the concept of Value
- Promoting the growth and development of Scotland’s economy and manufacturing, including off-site manufacturing.
PORTAL aims to motivate our industry to meet its future challenges proactively by sustaining continuous improvement and innovation in the design of industrial buildings.
