🏗️ V-Quest Co-Founder Joins NZIQS Carbon Accounting Working Group
We are excited to announce that our **Co-Founder, Barry Lynch**, has been invited to join the **NZIQS Carbon Accounting Working Group**. Barry will contribute his **extensive expertise in carbon reduction**, gained through the development of **V-Quest’s Carbon Optimization Tools**, to help shape the future of carbon reporting in the construction sector.
The **working group’s primary objective** is to **prepare NZIQS members** for the evolving reporting landscape, with a key focus on promoting **ICMS (International Construction Measurement Standards)**. The Institute has established this group to **collaborate with organizations and professional bodies**, ultimately recommending strategies to support Quantity Surveyors in adopting best carbon accounting practices.
**Barry Lynch**, Co-founder of **V-Quest**, highlights the critical role of **Quantity Surveyors** in material quantification for construction. He believes their **existing expertise in measurement standards and processes**, including **waste considerations, inclusions/exclusions, and assumptions**, positions them **perfectly to integrate embodied carbon analysis into their workflow**.
🔥 **This is an exciting step forward in driving sustainability within the construction industry!**
