FOR PROFESSIONALS
STREAMLINING STRUCTURES, REDUCING COST
Our specialist tender package review system finds meaningful cost and carbon savings in 85% of projects.
We built a system to help professionals unlock savings on construction projects. This system was developed iteratively by Re-Structured and utilises years of construction data and professional experience. The current version of the system is called Fortify and now finds meaningful cost and carbon savings in 85% of projects.
Fortify takes tender documentation and reviews it on behalf of the client. It assesses a host of variables such as material use, construction sequence, and document presentation. A key part of the system’s output is to do this without compromising design intent, compliance or safety.
Re-Structured works with firms to embed this system into their standard pre-construction protocols for every project, improving commercial margins and enhancing environmental performance.
This system is usually run between RIBA Stages 4 & 5 and is effective up to the point of ordering materials. It is used by Project Managers, Developers, Quantity Surveyors, Architects and Business Owners to analyse projects and quickly bring in savings to projects.
Fortify is a great way to bring another layer of value to clients.
THE REAL COST OF OVER-DESIGN report
The latest insights from over 50 Tender Package reviews carried out using Fortify
Whilst refining Fortify, we undertook a meta-analysis of 50 tender packages. The results were not all obvious, so we prepared a report to share with the wider industry. The latest report covers:
- Unlocking hidden savings – Discover how to reduce build costs by up to 3% without compromising quality.
- Avoiding over-specification – Learn where structure is commonly over-designed and how to spot the warning signs.
- Building smarter – Cut unnecessary materials, shorten programmes, and improve ROI on your next project.
SUCCESS STORIES
Heath – £55k saved
£2m new-build with a basement and pool. We simplified the structure and sequencing to reduce materials and carbon without touching the design intent.
Saved 8+ tonnes of steel and 60 tonnes of concrete.
£55,000 saved.
Frith – £88k saved
Vertical extension to add seven residential units above a shop and gym. Our review cut unnecessary steelwork and helped maintain live operations below.
17,000kg of steel removed.
£88,000 saved.
Blackheath – £20k saved
Blackheath – £20k saved
Extra storey added to a block of flats. We helped the developer reduce steelwork and improve sequencing – while keeping the structure safe and buildable.
49% less steel. 33% less timber.
£20,000 saved.
THE RE-STRUCTURED REVIEW PROCESS
1. After RIBA Stage 4, send the Tender Package to us
3. You find out if we can reduce construction cost and carbon
1. After RIBA Stage 4, send the Tender Package to us
Email the Tender Packages for each project to Re-Structured as they become available. Our system is effective at any time before materials are ordered.
2. Our specialist system analyses it
3. You find out if we can reduce construction cost and carbon
1. After RIBA Stage 4, send the Tender Package to us
Our system analyses the Tender Packages as they are received, against factors such as other similar projects, ground conditions, materials specified, and sequencing. On complex schemes, we feed in site constraints and buildability parameters for consideration.
3. You find out if we can reduce construction cost and carbon
3. You find out if we can reduce construction cost and carbon
3. You find out if we can reduce construction cost and carbon
We report back if our system is worth bolting onto the project – 85% of the time it is. We give guideline savings on cost and carbon savings for the project.
4. The Tender Package is optimised
3. You find out if we can reduce construction cost and carbon
3. You find out if we can reduce construction cost and carbon
If the project moves forward, we update the Tender Package to realise the savings without compromising design intent, compliance or safety. Another project optimised with reduced cost and carbon!
