Project Brief: MyEcoBot – AI-Powered Waste Reduction for Retrofit & Construction
Domestic retrofit and construction projects generate an estimated £7 billion in avoidable waste annually—primarily driven by redundant administrative tasks, compliance follow-ups, and fragmented stakeholder coordination. MyEcoBot sets out to eliminate this systemic inefficiency by deploying AI-driven automation and insight across every stage of the project lifecycle.
Objective
Streamline communication, compliance, material tracking, and contractor coordination to reclaim budget, time, and carbon efficiency.
Client
MyEcoBot, a forward-thinking platform dedicated to sustainable retrofit and construction delivery.
Project Description
MyEcoBot: Cutting Through Bureaucracy to Achieve Net-Zero
The Problem
Projects are bogged down by manual paperwork, disjointed data across compliance checks, supplier quotes, and contractor dispatch—leading to delays, over-ordering, and hidden emissions costing an estimated £7 billion annually.
Our Solution
MyEcoBot introduces an integrated AI assistant that:
-
Automates data ingestion & compliance
Parses building specs, regulations, and site logs to auto-validate legal and safety checks. -
Optimizes materials and logistics
Predicts material demand, flags mismatches, and automates order adjustments to minimize waste and carbon impact. -
Streamlines stakeholder communications
Generates status updates, issues reminders, and assigns follow-up actions—reducing 80% of manual coordination overhead. -
Delivers real-time sustainability insights
Aggregates emissions, costs, and material usage on intuitive dashboards for immediate decision-making.
Engagement Style
We co-developed MyEcoBot with delivery teams through embedded workshops and rapid iterative prototyping. This ensured AI outputs were transparent, actionable, and aligned with real-world workflows.
Impact
-
Reclaimed up to 30% of administrative time
-
Reduced material waste through predictive ordering
-
Accelerated project timelines via streamlined compliance
-
Provided measurable carbon and cost savings
By merging AI insight with operational workflows, MyEcoBot transforms retrofit and construction delivery—cutting bureaucracy, slashing waste, and enabling a scalable path to net-zero.
