Construction Waste Portal : 5 Jul 2024
The Construction Waste Portal, a cutting-edge digital solution for construction waste management, has demonstrated significant cost-saving potential by meticulously planning, predicting, and preventing unnecessary waste.
One specific contractor reviewed our digital construction waste management software and were amazed by how much they could have saved on construction waste.
Project stats
- Project type: Offices
- Gross Internal Floor Area (GIFA): 22,000m2
- Project Value: £41m
- Tender sum for Waste: £121,000
In a past project, a contractor's waste spend exceeded the tender allowance, spending a total of £306,601 on construction waste, which was 2.5 times the allocated budget. This resulted in an overspend of £185,001 and a detrimental profit effect of -11.2%.
However, had the contractor utilised the Construction Waste Portal, the overspend could have been reduced to an estimated £41,499, effectively saving £143,547.
By using our digital solution, and applying an efficient management approach, the contractor would have significantly reduced the profit effect to a more manageable -2.5%, showcasing the Portal's ability to transform waste management practices, drive financial efficiency, and significantly bolster project profitability.
Project outcome if using Construction Waste Portal
- Reduced overspend on waste: £41,499
- Total cost saving: £143,547
- Profit effect saved: 8.7%
