Carl Dodd, Founder of Property Revolutions Limited: “Throughout my career I have worked with and developed new green ways of building and doing things, ahead of the curve; never following the crowd. Property Revolutions Limited is the distillation of over 35 years of design, innovation and construction - combined with the determination to create sustainable projects in the built environment. PRL is designed from the ground up to be fundamentally green; we exclusively focus on green and sustainable concepts, techniques and materials. Being a green company means that all of our projects have low carbon ambitions. No project is too small or too large for us. It could be a small eco retrofit project (© Maltings Barn - SJD), a large renovation and deep retrofit (© Heath Lodge) - or even a multiple development site which aspires to be net zero carbon from the get-go (© Dereham Apartments). We not only endeavour to inspire people, but we make absolutely sure that our processes are reliable, value for money, robust and trusted.”

Since 1995, the names may have changed, but the problems haven't. The Challenge is even greater now Waiting for the amazing carbon capture revolution, the massive tree planting campaigns and…
