Building Products
Cutting costs and growing output after a tough recession
This sector has perhaps suffered most from the recession. We help clients minimise their labour and materials costs, while maximising the potential to expand volumes as the market improves and competitors go out of business.
We have experience of working in a wide range of product areas, including bricks, blocks, pavers, timber, insulation, pipes, precast concrete, mortar, gravels, flooring, underlay, and house building.
Results we’ve achieved for our clients include 17% increase in insulation boards speed, 23% reduction in labour costs at a rubber underlay by removing the weekend shift, 47% increase in auxiliary material yield and a 53% reduction in rework in pipe extrusion, 50% reduction in changeovers and reduced finished goods stocks, and avoiding £10 m capital expenditure at a brick factory by increasing output.
