VSBK – Vertical Shaft Brick Kilns and other SCP – Sustainable Construction Practices

The project promotes socially-minded, energy efficient and environmentally friendly construction, material production and application. The methodology applied is through the intervention at the grass root level in the construction business, focusing on supply chain actors consisting of production and construction workers, technicians, engineers, architects and entrepreneurs (contractors, construction materials producers & real state developers).

The project will work at both ends (the supply and demand sides) of the construction business. A further component will be to support the Government Institutions in developing Green Building policies, thereby further underlining sustainable construction practices.

The project is a logical continuation of the former SDC funder VSBK Project and guarantees a professional phasing out of the earlier initiated activities, where Skat provides following services:

• Acquiring interested entrepreneurs and supporting them in business planning
• Establishing an expert and supporting expert service teams for engineering and construction support
• Developing and promoting socially improved measures in the brick industry
• Legal support for entrepreneurs interested in shifting to cleaner technologies
• Promoting Sustainable Construction Practices and methods
