CHALLENGES
The high cost of project inefficiency
When cost margins are razor thin, every saving you can make in efficiency will pay dividends.
12%
Rework typically accounts for 12% of total project costs in the UK. This is largely driven by poor communication, supply chain challenges and a lack of effective quality assurance.
£5B
Errors cost the UK construction industry an estimated £5 billion annually. Reducing rework is essential not only to cut costs but also to safeguard long-term profitability and stay competitive.
22.7%
Approximately 22.7% of UK construction projects are delivered more than 250 days late.
This is driven by design changes, poor planning, and inadequate site management.
REWORK CALCULATOR
Uncover your hidden costs
This tool is designed to help structural and MEP professionals visualise the financial impact of rework in a project. By inputting a few key details and using data from the Construction Industry Institute, you can see how small oversights can escalate as the project progresses from design to construction.
Let’s uncover your hidden costs.
How to use the calculator
Choose the MEP project characteristics that most align with your project to get the most accurate outputs.
Cost for rework - Design stage
These figures are based on research from the Construction Industry Institute (CII) and range of 0.25-2% estimated rework of total project cost
Cost for rework - Construction stage
These figures are based on research from the Construction Industry Institute (CII) and show a range of 3-5% estimated rework of total project cost

THE DIFFERENCE
See what our customers are saying
We are now able to 3D model and detail all of the concrete and rebar in a project, enabling a complete virtual prototyping of the planned design, including reinforcement and the detection and elimination of clashes and associated construction problems.
— Technical Director | Laing O'Rourke
By getting more jobs completed faster and more efficiently, our bottom line goes up, and we start to see a return on investment very quickly.
— BIM Manager | Crookes Walker
Automatic clash detection confirmed the design was correct and constructible. The corresponding fabrication drawings and schedules were generated within just two days, enabling the new reinforcement to be delivered to site on time.
