Wrong kind of contractors I'm afraid. Most here are engineer or IT contractors. Not builders.

To be fair some of us get involved in other stuff as well. Not all of us live in a basement.

Plenty of companies are retrofitting AI heating controls, IOT for dwelling monitoring etc.

In the news modular and printed buildings make a lot of sense, unfortunately it seems the UK is not embracing them.

More the question, who is the OP? They trying to get a bit of free consultancy from us or something? Sounds more like a company fishing for information rather than another contracting chat pap about what we do.

looks like a fishing trip.
But I will bite with my favourite tool and technological marvel that I use on construction sites. A spirit level.
