Smart construction sites use innovative solutions to improve the efficiency, safety and sustainability of the construction site. A smart construction site uses the latest technology and processes to streamline costs, improve the organisation and safety of the site in a way that is sustainable from an economic and environmental perspective.

One of the biggest sustainability challenges that faces the construction industry is the amount of waste that ends up in landfill. Reducing the amount of waste that ends up in landfill can easily be achieved by sorting and recycling the materials, preventing waste from going to the tip. Rowles has developed a construction waste and recycling solution that provides dedicated skip bags for each trade at every stage of the construction process. This simple innovation significantly improves the sustainability of a construction site with almost 95% of waste recycled, reused or recovered.
Falls, slips and trips account for 23% of injuries on construction sites in Australia. Construction sites are inherently dangerous places, with multiple trades, equipment and materials on site at any one time. By creating a process for the proper handling and disposal of excess materials and waste, builders can improve the safety of a construction site by reducing the amount of hazards on-site.
Rowles Site Solutions construction waste and recycling solution provides an easy-to-use process for how trades handle and dispose of waste materials. With dedicated skip bags for each trade, combined with site cleaning at each stage of the construction process, builders can easily improve the safety of a construction site with one supplier for almost the same cost as traditional waste removal.
While labour is one of the most significant costs on a construction site, one of the most unaccounted costs is material wastage. An average construction site can discard an entire pallet of bricks, three rolls of insulation and many square metres of plasterboard. While the costs of these materials may not seem significant, they add up – especially if a builder is handling multiple sites at once.
Rowles Site Solutions has developed a reporting system for builders that provides reports on the amount of waste being collected at each stage of construction – this can provide a builder with valuable insights into the stages of construction that are producing the most waste and therefore, the most wastage.
Construction sites generate a significant amount of waste, from scrap materials to packaging and everything in between. Properly disposing of this waste is crucial for reducing waste and improving sustainability for the construction industry.
Construction sites are inherently dangerous places to work. From heavy machinery to sharp tools, there is a high potential for serious injuries to occur if safety is not a top priority. One important aspect of improving safety for trades on construction sites is to maintain a clean, hazard-free environment.
