Bridge the Gap is a European non-profit initiative that aims to accelerate the transition to circular and CO2-saving construction methods. The website provides extensive information on how to transform the way we build to pursue a sustainable built environment.
Off-site construction, often also referred to as industrialized construction, prefab, or modern methods of construction - provides the fastest way forward to circularity and CO2 reduction. Pre-manufactured building elements can be designed for disassembly and reuse, and the construction process requires less energy and concrete than traditional methods.
Bridge the Gap website hugely simplifies the process of finding, selecting, and comparing new European building technologies and technical installations and lists detailed information about their implementation and use.
The website provides three types of information:
1. Building systems and Technical installations
An overview of well-documented products and suppliers to help find, compare, and select sustainable off-site building systems and technical installations, focusing on circularity and CO2 reduction.
2. User guidelines
A set of clear manuals for product use, organisational setup, and the general process to help your organisation make the transition.
3. Knowledge bank
Concise and actionable introductions to the why, what, and how of sustainable solutions to help decision-makers embrace new technologies.
