About Ged Finch

Ged is Chief Technology Officer at XFrame – an Australian property technology startup company specialising in creating circular building systems. Ged completed his doctoral studies in circular building design at Victoria University of Wellington between 2018 and 2023. Ged’s research focused on understanding the relationship between different building layers for the purposes of deconstruction and recovery. Ged’s work resulted in the development of XFrame – a modular lattice framing system suited to enabling elemental reuse of building parts. In early 2020 Ged founded XFrame as a company and has since worked to deliver circular interior fit-outs and small residential structures across Australia, New Zealand and North America. Ged now leads a team of computational designers and project delivery staff based in Wellington, New Zealand who work to create circular spaces.

    Ged’s research is a multidisciplinary study that brings together industrial design, engineering, building science and architecture to evaluate experiential construction methodologies that aim to eliminate building waste at all stages of a buildings life cycle. Full scale prototyping of these alternative construction systems will be carried out regularly with the research then moving to quantify the and evaluate performance of each system through strength testing, life cycle analysis and economic analysis. .

    Postgraduate Researcher
    Victoria University Of Wellington Mar 2017 - Apr 2018
    Wellington & Wairarapa, New Zealand
    As part of Masters of Architecture (Professional) (MArch) degree at Victoria University of Wellington, a year long research study has been undertaken to determine the potential capacity of the architect to reduce and eliminate end-of-life building waste. It is foreseen that the planning and designing for the disassembly of buildings at the end of their useful lives has the potential to greatly reduce the quantity of waste produced. This research is supervised by Senior Lecturer Mr. Guy Marriage - board member for Prefab New Zealand. This research investigates how these issues may be overcome and how a mainstream residential dwelling might be re-designed to be easily deconstructed into individual material components for reuse in a timely fashion at the end of its useful life. A highly efficient expandable modular structural plywood system has been developed to enable the direct reuse of all building components. This structural system facilitates material reuse and reduces waste by allowing building linings, services and cladding's to be layered independently - effectively eliminating the need for adhesive's and single use fixings. The structure is expandable, self spanning and allows all components of a building to be mechanically fastened.
