Building to code isn’t the same as building for the future.Yes, we need to build fast — but we also need to build smarter. CAGBC’s Two Million Green Homes: 2025 Update explores how performance-based standards can help Canada deliver rental housing that’s climate-ready, cost-effective, and built to last.What’s at stake when we stop at code compliance?• Higher operational costs that tenants — or public housing providers — have to absorb• Low-resilience homes that require costly repairs on the taxpayer’s dime• Poor indoor environments that compromise health, productivity, and livabilitySome jurisdictions and industry leaders are proving there’s a better way: sustainable rental housing that performs — for people and the planet.This is just one of the focus areas in our updated report. We outline what it will take to scale housing that’s affordable, healthy, and climate-ready — without compromise. Read the full 2025 update: https://ow.ly/cylL50WAorV

ARKI (Antler W23) • 3K followers

At the Vancouver Web Summit, I had the privilege of meeting with leaders from Takenaka, one of Japan’s oldest and most revered architectural, engineering, and construction companies.What began as a focused conversation around potential collaboration quickly turned into something futuristic. They were already imagining a future where ARKI APIs could feed drawing instructions directly to construction robots.Takenaka plays in a different league. The scale, vision, and technical depth they operate with is genuinely inspiring.It’s a reminder that when you structure design knowledge well, it opens doors far beyond what you build for. #AEC #ARKI #websummit #Vancouver #preconstruction

Clunky UI kills sales. Clean UX creates and accelerates sales. Because clients don’t buy features. They buy experiences they can trust with their clients.That’s why NDEX Systems Inc. -- the backbone of wealth management technology for 14,000+ advisors and 350+ firms across North America -- partnered with us at INSART.The mission: take the most complete, normalized, and secure portfolio data platform in Canada... and redesign the interface to unlock new adoption and sales opportunities.🚀 NDEX already sets the industry standard with:→ 300+ direct custodial feeds→ 8,500+ supported data extraction sites→ Real-time reconciliation & exception alerts→ Export-ready data via REST API👉 But the real transformation came from rethinking how advisors and firms experience that power:1/ Navigation that accelerates workflows2/ Performance built for massive data sets3/ Responsive design across every device4/ Interfaces designed to support end-client conversations and trustSwipe through the screenshots to see how a legacy interface evolved into a modern platform → built not just for data, but for growth.Great UX is when advisors stop thinking about the software and start focusing fully on their clients. Laurent Bensemana and Benjamin Amar, CPA let's keep building together!👉 Here is the real question:What core UX principles do you believe every fintech platform should follow to accelerate sales?#Fintech #UXDesign #WealthManagement #PortfolioManagement #NDEX #INSART #WealthTech #SalesEnablement
