Some months feel huge. Recently the V-Quest team prepared for the launch of our new tool, moved offices and temporarily lost our Co-founder Barry to his belated honeymoon in Europe. With winter out of the way we are looking forward to better weather, longer days and Southern hemisphere BBQ's.

OUR NEW OFFICE
It was a big effort but worth it. Early September we packed up all our stuff and relocated to the new @Lean Canvas co-working space, with dedicated company fixed desk space. We are now located upstairs at 81c Lichfield Street.
Our new offices are the biz. Comfortable, loads of breakout space, a dedicated podcast room, high-speed internet, and a great community of software developers, marketing experts, videographers, sustainability consultants and all round good people. Dark Matter, The Idea Consultancy, to mention a few.

ATHENA INSTITUTE OF SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS COLAB
V-Quest is set out to be global from day one. We are always looking for early opportunities across the globe to showcase what we are doing and collaborate with the best partners out there. Back in May, we announced our collaboration with Trimble, gaining access to their Global Network.
This month we announced our new collaboration with Athena Sustainable Materials Institute. Athena is a non-profit research collaborative bringing life cycle assessment to the construction industry.
Just like BRANZ LCAQuick, Nabers Carbon tool, and GreenStar LCA solutions in Australasia, V-Quest will work with Athena to provide a full and streamlined LCA workflow for North America.
