Book an auditMaterial Index provides strategic support and advisory across the full spectrum of circular economy requirements in construction.

Material brokerage.
We specialise in brokering the onward trade of materials from deconstruction, refurbishment, and demolition. Through our large network of asset managers, developers, contractors, and trade partners, we handle sourcing, traceability and tagging, logistics and storage, and carbon accounting. Materials can be sold to trade partners or donated through social impact pathways.

Audit to Action.
Every audit is a live inventory. Use it to catalogue, manage exchange and track your materials. Material Index offers follow-on services to broker your materials to registered Trade Partners before strip-out or deconstruction begins.
Audit
Qualified auditors catalogue every component on site using our audit app.
Collaborate
The project team reviews the inventory together on the MI platform and decides what to retain, reuse or sell.
Exchange
We broker materials to registered Trade Partners through the marketplace, with full tracking and reporting.
