Pre-demolition audits across Wales.
Material Index is a UK-wide auditor working throughout Wales, with projects and case studies spanning Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, Wrexham and Bangor. 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.
Welsh planning, carbon and reuse.
Wales has its own framework: a net-zero target for 2050, the Beyond Recycling circular economy strategy, and Planning Policy Wales, which promotes the circular economy, reuse of materials and retrofit-first development. A pre-demolition audit is the evidence base for demonstrating reuse and circular economy across Cardiff, Swansea and beyond.
Welsh building stock, from Valleys terraces and industrial buildings to Victorian and historic stone, holds a lot of reusable material, including Welsh slate, stone, brick and structural timber. We identify it early enough to be resold before demolition, and connect it to buyers through the Material Index marketplace and trade partner network.
