Audits across Tower Hamlets.
Material Index carries out pre-demolition, pre-redevelopment and reclamation audits across the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, from Canary Wharf and the Isle of Dogs to Whitechapel, Poplar, Bow and Bethnal Green. Our auditors survey each building before strip-out, photograph and log every material, and our platform assigns each item a pathway: retain, reuse on-site, reuse off-site, recycle, or waste as a last resort.
The result is a structured asset register your design team, demolition contractor and sustainability consultant can all work from, delivered fast so it informs the programme rather than arriving too late to act on.
Tower Hamlets circular economy policy.
With Canary Wharf and large-scale regeneration, most major schemes in Tower Hamlets are referable to the Mayor and must submit a Circular Economy Statement under London Plan Policy SI 7 and a Whole Life-Cycle Carbon assessment under Policy SI 2, with a pre-redevelopment or pre-demolition audit as the evidence base. The borough has its own net-zero commitment and a Local Plan that promotes reuse and retrofit-first development.
Tower Hamlets combines commercial towers with Victorian terraces, warehouses and estates, all holding reusable material, from steel, raised floors and facades to brick, timber and fixtures. We identify it early enough to be resold or diverted before demolition, and connect it to buyers through the Material Index marketplace and trade partner network.
