What we did, what changed, and what we learned.

## What have we delivered?

**Our work has cut procurement costs by 30% for a public social housing organization, produced an early warning algorithm that flagged a spike in deaths in early January 2020, and helped a First Nations community build its first net zero home.** Each case below explains the problem, the approach and the outcome.

- [Optimizing Procurement for Public Social Housing: Enhancing Sustainability and Efficiency](https://www.buildresil.com/experience/social-housing-procurement): A tailored procurement framework for a public social housing organization that brought in new energy-efficient suppliers and cut procurement costs by 30%.
- [Innovating for Resilience: Algorithms and Practical Solutions for a Changing World](https://www.buildresil.com/experience/algorithms-for-resilience): An early warning algorithm that detected an unusual spike in UK deaths weeks before the first reported COVID-19 case, plus supply chain optimization and accessible air-tightness testing.
- [A Journey to Net Zero: Building Resilience for Future Generations](https://www.buildresil.com/experience/net-zero-first-nation): A detailed study of 40 homes and community buildings in a First Nations community, leading to the community’s first net zero home and lasting local capacity.
