Net Zero Projects Ltd · Company 13589482 · Trading heritage since 2021
Net Zero Projects Limited, operating under the brand minimass™, is at the forefront of sustainable construction, specialising in innovative low-carbon structural concrete elements. The company's patented minimass™ technology integrates 3D concrete printing with post-tensioning of steel to create prefabricated beams, frames, and slabs that significantly reduce material usage and embodied carbon. This approach offers substantial environmental benefits, with reductions of 50-78% in embodied carbon compared to traditional concrete or steel beams, and also provides cost savings.
The minimass™ system is designed to replace conventional structural elements and is suitable for a wide range of applications, including large buildings (industrial, logistics, offices, retail, education) and bridge construction, as well as temporary works. The unique geometry facilitates the integration of services and allows for long spans. The company's founder, Andy Coward, a Civil and Structural Engineer from the University of Cambridge, brings extensive experience from roles at Bjarke Ingels Group and Foster + Partners.
Sarah Blake, Co-founder and Commercial Director, adds significant commercial real estate expertise. Key projects and developments include a pilot footbridge at Constructionarium, which demonstrated a 30% overall embodied carbon saving and a 40% supply cost saving. This project, funded by an Innovate UK grant, showcased the technology's potential and was designed for disassembly to promote circularity.
The company has also secured a contract with Ballymore for the design phase of two bridges at their Stonehaven development, with construction planned for late 2025. Net Zero Projects Limited holds multiple UK, US, and EU patents for its innovative structural truss and slab designs, underscoring its commitment to advancing sustainable construction practices.

A 10.8m demonstrator footbridge built at Constructionarium, funded by an Innovate UK grant. It showcased the minimass™ technology with zero waste beams produced in 7 days, timber decking, and fibre optic sensors for monitoring. The bridge provided a 30% overall embodied carbon saving and a 40% supply cost saving.
