Control costs, reduce risk, and improve recovery across construction, fit‑out, and demolition

Construction generates high volumes of heavy and variable waste: inert spoil, concrete, timber, metal, plasterboard, packaging, hazardous arisings (paints, fuels, adhesives), and WEEE from temporary electrics. Tight programmes, evolving site layouts, and multiple subcontractors make segregation and compliance hard to maintain. Missed duty‑of‑care checks or poor documentation can create significant risk.

Waste Consult provides independent UK waste consultancy to principal contractors, subcontractors, and developers. We don’t broker skips; we design practical systems for live sites, backed by data and independent waste management audits.

Our approach on site

We review site constraints, traffic management, loading bays, and floor‑by‑floor waste flows. We specify container types/locations, signage, and supervision suitable for programme phases (shell, fit‑out, snagging). We create clear responsibilities for subcontractors and verify transfer documentation and EWC coding. We also assess water use (wheel‑wash, curing), temporary power, and generator diesel to reduce utility costs and emissions.

Services for Construction Include:

• Pre‑start waste strategy and site‑specific management plans
   
• Stream‑by‑stream segregation design, including plasterboard compliance
   
• Hazardous waste controls; safe storage and consignment processes
