V-Quest Featured by Stuff NZ for Decarbonising Construction
Stuff NZ highlights V-Quest’s role in reshaping construction with carbon-efficient design tools and global ambitions.
From Christchurch to the World
Born in Christchurch, V-Quest is taking its mission global—helping architects, engineers and developers cut carbon, cost and mass without changing how they design. The Stuff NZ article showcases how the startup is simplifying embodied carbon analysis and enabling real-time decision-making across the design process.
Chasing Bigger, Bolder Markets
While V-Quest made its start in New Zealand, it’s now looking toward regions with more advanced climate regulation, including Australia and the United States. “We need to be in markets that are ready for this,” said co-founder William Roberts in the interview.
The article also outlines the challenges of operating in New Zealand, where climate legislation around embodied carbon remains delayed—pushing many cleantech innovators offshore to grow.
Making Design Simpler, Smarter, Cleaner
V-Quest’s platform plugs directly into design software like Revit, ArchiCAD and SketchUp, giving real-time feedback on carbon, cost and weight. By automating life cycle assessments and benchmarking options early, designers can make smart decisions without interrupting their workflow.
