In this episode I am joined by Antoinette Vandy, CEO &Co-founder of Agreka Build. A UK-based material innovation company that specialises in net-zero construction and regenerative building solutions. Their unique approach involves collaborating with farmers to transform agriculturalwaste into innovative, green construction materials. By repurposing waste into valuable resources, they aim to reduce environmental impact, support rural economies, and lead the transition towards a net-zero, circular economy inagriculture and construction.

We talk a about Antoinette’s initial training as an architect and how she then went on to co-found a company focused on sustainable building products. We discuss how it can be used in buildings and some of the common myths that are around using natural products.

We also discuss the usual challenges, themes and misconceptions working in the heritage sector along with top tips when working with an older property.

It will be an interesting listen for anyone embarking on aproject and is looking for some guidance and anyone generally interested in older properties.
