Reducing Construction Waste: How Material Intelligence Saves 15% on Project Costs
Indian construction currently wastes nearly ₹30,000 Crore annually. This is a massive drain on project ROI.
Where the Money Leaks
- Over-Ordering: Ordering steel based on thumb rules instead of scientific BBS.
- Site Pilferage: Lack of a transparent procurement baseline.
- Inaccurate Mixes: Poorly calculated concrete volumes.
Zero-Waste Procurement
By using NiyamX's Bar Bending Schedule (BBS) and theoretical vs. actual consumption tracking, you can reduce site-level waste by 12-15%.
