Pre-Demolition Audits
Our audits (also known as pre-deconstruction audits or material inventories) are provided based on the latest best practice thinking, focusing on the circular economy opportunities provided by any proposed demolition or refurbishment.
The aim of a pre-deconstruction audit is to:
-
Identify the types and quantities of materials arising from demolition or refurbishment for potential reuse
-
Support sustainable material management through tailored recommendations aligned with the waste hierarchy
-
Offer technical guidance on reuse, recycling, logistics, and storage
-
Strengthen supply chain connections and highlight local reuse/recycling opportunities
-
Provide data for resource planning and carbon assessments
-
Set reuse and recycling targets while addressing potential challenges
-
Reduce the environmental impact of demolition activities

Although they no longer are a legal requirement, they are necessary for achieving the BREEAM Wst 01, and they may also be required as a condition for a planning application.
Reusefully can provide SWMPs and OWMPs to help meet planning requirements and the requirements of BREEAM and similar sustainability standards. These will help you manage construction waste on-site and in-situ and reduce waste disposal costs and time.
SITE WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANS
The PRDA will be based on the four circular economy design approaches:
- Demolishing and recycling
- Disassembling and reusing
- Partially retaining and refurbishing and
- Retaining and retrofitting
The audit will be conducted in relation to the existing, in-use assets, and based on a site visit, and cover existing buildings, structures or hard surfaces on the site. Note, there is no scope for an intrusive investigation with PRDAs.
PRE-REDEVELOPMENT AUDITS
A CES aims to demonstrate how materials arising from any demolition works will be reused and/or recycled, and to consider the resource efficiency aspects of the development’s design and construction and end of life opportunities.
The CES can comprise of three stages:
- Pre-application (where relevant)
- Planning application (potentially both outline and detailed)
- Post-construction (upon commencement of RIBA Stage 6 and prior to the building being handed over, if applicable, generally no more than 3 months post-construction)
CIRCULAR ECONOMY STATEMENT
Our Other Services
Apetito are a major international food producer, striving to be as sustainable as possible. They have an ambitious plan to create a new world-class food processing facility at their site in Trowbridge, which will have a net positive impact on the natural and human environment and provide resilience in the face of climate change.
KLH Sustainability, working on behalf of Apetito, reached out to Reusefully to carry out a pre-demolition audit. The aim of this audit was to provide an understanding of the types and amounts of products and materials arising during the refurbishment/demolition to allow reuse in the new development. The site consists of 12 buildings all varying in size, age, and uses. The demolition will also involve other external structures including hardstanding, fencing, and a disused water tank.
The site was visited by Reusefully to conduct non-invasive observations and measurements. This allowed Reusefully to provide recommendations to maximise reuse and contribute to the sustainable management of materials arising from the demolition. This will help KLH Sustainability, and Apetito, meet their circularity and sustainability goals for the project.
Apetito Site, Trowbridge
1 Victoria Street, London
1 Victoria Street is a 1960s commercial office building redevelopment by Stanhope and Mitsubishi Real Estate. It involves a planned partial demolition and major refurbishment (47,329 m2 GIA - Gross Internal Area). A huge collaborative effort is underway to maximise the reuse of items from the refurbishment driven by the vision of owners/developers and involving detailed work and planning by members of the project team including strip-out contractors Keltbray, sustainability consultants Arup and reuse advisors and auditors Reusefully.
Services:
- Pre-demolition and pre-redevelopment audit reports to support the Circular Economy Statement.
- Implementation activities, working closely with the Arup sustainability team, client and enabling works contractor.
- Advertising on exchange platforms and completion of a reuse tracker to assign responsibilities and monitor progress.
