what we do

Site Audits

Intro

Encore’s custom-built platform is a forecasting tool for client audits which are proving invaluable to them.

They are part of a comprehensive service that complements our waste management services and environmental consultancy. As an independent to the waste suppliers, Encore is an experienced, knowledgable team within the industry and therefore qualified to carry out pre-construction or environmental audits.

Encore engages early on in a project to carry out material and product audits to create:

  • Early intervention so assessments don’t delay projects
  • An accurate forecast of potentially recyclable and reusable items
  • A waste management strategy
  • Disposal options for recycling reuse and charitable donations
  • The ability to raise any logistics and access concerns plus any specific challenges.

Types of Audits

  • Pre-construction environmental audits
  • Pre-refurbishment audits to fulfil BREEAM requirements
  • Pre-demolition audits to fulfil BREEAM requirements
  • Early intervention so assessments don’t delay projects
  • An accurate forecast of potentially recyclable and reusable items
  • A waste management strategy
  • Disposal options for recycling reuse and charitable donations
  • The ability to raise any logistics and access concerns plus any specific challenges.

Our bespoke IT system generates automated reports in a timely manner to provide accurate, transparent information prior to strip-out or demolition and ensure responsible waste management.

Added value

The majority of construction waste is currently sent to Waste Transfer Stations and Material Recovery Facilities where they are sorted and processed for end markets. This results in diminished quality, quantity and the associated value of the materials for end-user applications.

Our reduce, reuse and recycle approach improves the quantity, quality and value of such materials while reducing cost and carbon and supporting our clients’ social value.

Other services

We project-manage the lifecycle of the waste disposal and can help with complex legislation and waste disposal regulations. Unlike conventional waste companies, we have the experience and flexibility to offer logistic support and bespoke waste solutions.

Asbestos and other hazardous waste

Asbestos and other hazard waste can be identified early and testing and disposal can be planned in accordingly, so as not to hinder the project deadlines.

How we do it

Early intervention, audits and forecasts

Early intervention

By obtaining accurate data from the very start of a project, we are able to reduce our clients’ costs and carbon without hindering project deadlines later down the project lifecycle. Accurate forecasting is key.

On-site audit

Encore visits the site, meets the team and ascertains the specific project details. A tour of the site includes photographing all materials, products, fixtures and fittings that are being removed. Where possible we try to obtain as-built drawings to provide a more detailed analysis of the project.

Forecast and options

Our bespoke IT system produces audit forecasts of items and materials to be disposed of together with advice on suggested routes of disposal.

Why we do it

Our unique tools produce forecasts and audits that provide clients with invaluable data and options to achieve better social and economic outcomes.

They help to:

  • Reduce costs
  • Support Corporate Social Responsibility statements with data
  • Avoid conventional routes of disposal and landfill
  • Benefit good causes
  • Turn waste into an income stream rather than a liability
  • Create an effective waste management strategy
  • Transparency on rebates
