Guiding architects to build a sustainable future is part and parcel of Shrankhla Jaiswal's role as Sustainable Construction Manager.
Architects face the challenge of balancing technical considerations and options to achieve sustainable design. Making informed choices that align with both environmental goals and project requirements is no easy task.
Enter Shrankhla Jaiswal, who simplifies this process by providing expert guidance on the carbon footprint and sustainability benefits of our products.
She says: “I typically collaborate with architects and industry professionals to analyse carbon emissions and demonstrate how our products can help them reduce carbon and achieve their sustainability goals.
“I provide data and insight into recyclability and end of use options, which enables them to make more environmentally responsible design decisions.”
Her favourite part? Connecting across sectors and collaborating with colleagues to translate sustainable design into hard facts, data, and practical solutions.
I break down concepts like life cycle analysis to show how they impact a building and its environment. This helps inform the architect, improving the overall effectiveness and environmental impact of their project.
A taste for innovation
Outside of work, Shrankhla loves exploring new cuisines, from spicy Jamaican jerk chicken to intricate Asian dishes. Her passion for global flavours reflects her open- mindedness and curiosity. She approaches her work with a similar spirit: a willingness to embrace new ideas and explore innovative solutions.
Just as she appreciates the complexity and richness of different culinary traditions, Shrankhla recognises the intricate nature of sustainable construction. She enjoys the challenge of navigating diverse regulations, understanding the nuances of various materials, and finding creative ways to integrate sustainability into every project.
Customer centricity
Shrankhla’s vision for the future is clear: “We need to deepen our understanding of our customers' needs and build strong relationships. By sharing insights we can help our customers succeed and drive positive change in the construction industry.”
She adds: “By making sustainability more accessible and understandable, we can better serve our customers. By focusing on sustainable practices, we help ensure that our products not only meet but exceed industry standards for environmental performance.”
Just like discovering new flavours in cuisine, Shrankhla is always hungry for innovative ways to serve up sustainability in construction
