Why SmartWaste?
When it comes to your construction, demolition or refurbishment site environmental impacts, it’s important to understand where your project can be saving time and money and where performance can be enhanced to further reduce the environmental impacts of construction across your projects. Our construction management software can help.
SmartWaste exists to help deliver on your environmental management needs. Our capabilities will help users not only achieve the above but assist you with meeting the ever-increasing demands of project monitoring and reporting.
SmartWaste can be used across a supply chain, with organisations inputting building site data relevant to them, for the client or principal contractor to report and analyse, giving the vital information needed to identify trends and areas of improvement. This enables a more informed environmental strategy to be achieved.
Based on feedback from our customers, the SmartWaste team have been busy developing several new modules which are now available to all our members, giving you even more areas to monitor, measure and report on than ever before.
These include:
- Incident and Complaints
- Ecological and Biodiversity
- Considerate Constructors Scheme
These new modules will help our members meet the ever-increasing demands for project monitoring as well as the requirements of BREEAM New Construction standards.
We implemented SmartWaste as it’s a reliable and honest source to record all our data.
