romulus initiative
Brought to life by Maconda, ROMULUS is a pioneering initiative designed to solve a major challenge in the built environment.
BARRIERS TO MATERIAL EXCHANGE
The lack of processes, relationships and frameworks, for the construction and real estate industry to effectively exchange materials.
This gap has long been a barrier to scaling circular economy practices and enabling transformative growth in our cities.
ROMULUS addresses this by digitizing and uploading building audits to an accessible, evidence-based platform. But it doesn’t stop there. In partnership with planning authorities and through a monthly industry forum, ROMULUS unites stakeholders to co-create the policies, processes and partnerships needed for large-scale reuse.
A RESOURCE FOR THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT

HOW WE WORK
1. GET IN TOUCH
We'll arrange an initial discussion to understand your circular economy objectives, targets and specific project requirements.
2. CHOOSE A UNIQUE LEVER
We will advise on the materials needed to enable circular economy. Both material and information flows must be managed accordingly. We will help you identify the right 'levers' best suited to your project.
3. INITIATE
Once the optimal levers are selected and we've created a blueprint to meet your circular economy objectives, we'll begin implementing digital solutions and resource management strategies. All projects include regular milestones to review success and a close-out report to educate and inform your team on the benefits of the circular model.
