Design to help
Reduce Waste Easy steps to reduce your share
of the 109 m tonnes of construction and demolition
and excavation waste each year

Design generates waste
• Waste reduction is not a site issue
– It is a Design Issue
• It becomes a site issue
– if is was not seen as a Design issue
• Join in now or
– D&B takes another % of UK procurement

SITEwise II Waste Campaign
• Environment Agency (Anglian)
• Breakfast meetings
• 200+ Pre-construction Professionals
• Waste is not a key issue
• Scored 8th out of 12 issues

Some easy wins
• Design to standard sizes
• Design to reduce off-cut waste
• Design for on and off site reuse
• Design for on and off site recycling
• Design for maintainability, adaptability &
flexibility
• Design for deconstruction and reuse
• Design spares storage for maintenance
• Design for in use waste management 5

Serendipity?
• Design for Easy of Assembly
• Lends itself to
• Design for Deconstruction
• But Architects are not very interested in
construction nor deconstruction
• The RIBA curriculum does not address it
very well
• RIBA external course assessors frown at
too much technology 6

Relearn some waste statistics
• 400m tonnes/year materials to UK CI
• 100mtonnes/year wasted by UK CI
• 30m tonnes is materials off-cuts
• 24m tonnes/year (24%) is packaging
• 23.7m tonnes/year soil & rock
• 10m is temporary materials
• 10m tonnes/year over ordered never
needed £1.5bn/annum (EA 2007)

Over ordered never needed
Lost, stolen and reordered (not to scale)
• Required for the design
• QS inaccurate take off +/-10% Requires remeasure by contractor
• SMM7 Wastage factor 5-20% 33% is off-cuts some is damage
• Over-order safety margins x%
• Minimum order quantities +++
• Call-off extra % JIC Just in case
• Merchant delivers % more than required
– in the hope nobody is checking,
– invoices accordingly
• Lost on site
• ……Stolen from site for PJs 20%
• Reorderd to replace lost or stolen
• ……Damage & Poor quality work 3%
• ……Spares for on going maintenance

Relearn some waste statistics
• Packaging waste can vary between 5% and
50% (24% average) of waste stream
depending on construction method

Reduce Demand
• Don’t over design structure
• Except if long design life demands it
• Don’t oversize
• Don’t cut section from solid if compound is
possible

Reduce Demand
• Don’t cut section from solid if compound is
possible
• Reduce solid sections to compound to reduce
weight and materials used

Reduce Demand
• Consider use of materials as found:
• Round pole structures
• Or compound sections without waste
• Or use off-cuts in cladding

Design details create waste
• Many heights of partitions and linings
• Creates demand for different height boards
• 1 maker provide an off-cut take-back
scheme (BG but not comprehensive)
• Others provide purpose made boards cut to
height (if the job is big enough)
• Others cut board to size (F)
• How many sizes does your job need?

Design Avoids Waste
• Setting out: Not straight forward
• Few cut bricks: little waste
• Labour simplified
• Looks expensive: cheap to lay
• Assumptions made about relative costs
• Quality Surveyor: think resource efficiency
& simple construction

Design to minimise waste
• We are familiar with sizing walls to bricks
and half brick lengths externally
• And now also blocks internally
• What about:
• 8 x 4 Panels in modules
• Lengths of structural members

CADCAM Tailoring = Iteration
• Maximising the yield from sheets of glass
• Many pieces arranged to get more pieces from
smallest glass pane
• Pieces cut from sheet
• Just like a tailor and fabric directionality is
important
• Potential conflict with ‘Roller Wave Pattern’ • RWP occurs as glass is rolled off zinc float and
‘slumps’ over supporting rollers
