Stop burying your profits in the ground. 🌍 We’re building the tech to make surplus redistribution easier than ordering a skip. Interested in boosting your project's ROI? Let’s talk. 🏗️✨ #ConstructionUK #PropTech #FinTech #Efficiency

Building Surplus UK turns that 13% loss into recovered capital. 🛠️ By creating a liquid marketplace for site surplus, we help you: ✅ Recover original costs ✅ Eliminate disposal fees ✅ Boost project margins

Why "Waste" is killing your margins 💸 The average UK construction project operates on a 2-3% profit margin. At the same time, the industry loses roughly 13% of materials to waste. 🏗️🗑️ You don't have a productivity problem. You have a "money in the skip" problem. 🧵👇

@BSIF1 Great to see BSIF bringing members together to solve industry issues. Collaboration is exactly what we need to tackle the efficiency gap in UK construction. Looking forward to following your work! 🛠️📈

@Simonsturgis @RIBAJ Excellent article, Simon. The focus on low carbon design is critical. I've just shared a case study here on X about a £2k brand-new bathroom suite going to the skip—a clear gap in the circular economy we're trying to fix at Building Surplus UK. Would love your take on it! 🏗️♻️

@CNplus The ISG fallout continues to be a wake-up call for the industry. Beyond the human impact, these sudden closures leave massive amounts of surplus materials stranded on-site. We need better systems to recover and redistribute these assets. 🏗️♻️

@CNplus Great to see the 2026 Specialists Awards getting closer. 🏆 The UK supply chain is where real circular innovation happens. Can't wait to see which firms are leading the way in sustainability and material efficiency this year! #ConstructionNews #SustainabilityUK

Has anyone else seen brand new materials go to the skip? I'd love to hear your site stories. 🏗️👇

The £2,000 Bathroom in the Skip 🗑️ Imagine throwing £2,000 into a bin. 💸 A mate recently witnessed this on a UK site: a double order of high-end bathroom fittings was placed by mistake. Instead of returning it, it went straight into the skip. Why? Because the system is broken.

The era of "just skip it" is over. It has to be. I’m building this in public to fix the circularity gap in our industry. If you’re in #ConstructionUK or #PropTech, let’s connect. We’re turning waste into value. 🏗️✨

This is why I’m building Building Surplus UK. 🛠️ We’re creating a marketplace that maps surplus materials directly to carbon tracking. We make it easier (and more profitable) to re-sell or re-distribute than to throw away. 🌍

@CNplus A massive win for @BouyguesUK With 1,945 beds, the logistical challenge of managing surplus materials will be huge. Standard site waste is often 10-13%—at this scale, circular redistribution isn't just an 'eco' choice, it's a financial necessity for the project's bottom line. 🏗️

@CNplus Great news for Southwark. 1,945 beds = tons of high-quality potential surplus. We need to move past the 'skip it' mentality on these major London sites and start treating excess materials as carbon assets. Looking forward to seeing how they tackle the circularity piece here! 🏗️♻️

13% of materials on UK construction sites go straight to the skip. Brand new. Never used. 🏗️🗑️ We’re changing that. Building Surplus UK: The marketplace for surplus materials with integrated Carbon Tracking for BREEAM V7 🌍 Let’s build circular. #PropTech #ConstructionUK #ESG
