About Material Index.
Our vision is for a circular construction industry where components are reused at scale. We collaborate with building owners, contractors, project teams and trade partners to make construction more sustainable.
How we work.
Material Index (MI) is a team of contractors, architects, engineers and software developers focussed on enabling reuse at scale in the construction industry. We offer an end-to-end service with dedicated auditing, reuse consultancy and material exchange teams in-house.
Material Index catalogues buildings through AI-powered audits to identify valuable materials before they become waste. Materials are managed collaboratively via enterprise SaaS with compliance, carbon and waste analytics and exchanged across organisations or via our 3-sided marketplace connecting suppliers, refurbishers, and buyers.
