MRWC has partnered with Nezo, formerly V-Quest, to develop an industry-accessible, design-integrated carbon, cost and mass measurement tool to support early-stage project decisions, compliance prep and material options comparison and client conversations.

Architects, engineers, quantity surveyors, contractors and project managers will have free access to the tool from June 2026.
