Resource efficient office refurbishment case study: Unilever House, London

This case study shows how significant quantified savings were achieved through the use of an offsite materials consolidation centre.

 

Key facts

  • Financial savings from procuring only the quantities of material required; i.e. over-ordering was virtually eliminated.
  • 76% of waste arising was re-used or recycled, which reduced waste management costs.
  • Using the London Construction Consolidation Centre (LCCC) provided efficiencies that enabled the project completion date to be brought forward three months.
  • A £200,000 saving was achieved by the return of unused materials from the LCCC to suppliers.
