Residential Developers: Boost Profits and Sustainability with Soil Link In today's challenging market, residential developers face mounting pressures from rising construction costs and increasing demands for sustainable practices. These factors are squeezing profit margins, as reported by some major developers recently. However, lean times often enable innovation, and forward-thinking developers have been looking at ways to reduce their costs, especially within higher cost/budget areas. Soil Link's AI-powered Materials Exchange Platform (MEP) is revolutionising how developers manage heavy materials - from exporting excess materials to importing required ones. We've observed a significant shift in attitude among leading developers. What was once considered taboo - collaborating with competitors - is now embraced as a pathway to mutual benefit. This industry-wide cooperation, facilitated by our platform, is unlocking new efficiencies and cost savings. A recent Soil Link case study demonstrated how major UK developers saved six figures on a single project by intelligently reusing excess soils (via the CL:AIRE DoW CoP). Our platform optimises material flow, reduces waste, and improves project efficiency through AI-driven insights and predictive analytics. By streamlining procurement with real-time market data and AI-powered recommendations, Soil Link saves you valuable time and resources while fostering beneficial industry partnerships. Don't let market pressures erode your profits. Join innovative developers leveraging Soil Link to stay ahead and collaborate for success.

Will Rundle shares how Soil Link's journey has evolved from focusing on the physical process of linking construction sites, to understanding the immense value of the data Soil Link collects. As contractors, Will and Kobe (Soil Link's Founders) set out to address a significant pain point of their own, addressing excess heavy materials and the opportunity to reuse rather than dispose. However, as they progressed, they began to see the influential value of the information gathered. Information is critical in any marketplace. Take Airbnb, for example—it's an information system that connects accommodation providers with seekers, using data to enhance decision-making. Similarly, our platform aims to provide enriched information to improve decisions on both sides of the market. By offering detailed data, we help users make the best decisions for their needs. This could mean finding the right buyer for materials or avoiding costly alternatives like landfilling. Timing is crucial, and having the right information at the right time can save significant costs, improve outcomes, and contribute to more sustainable construction practices.

Closing the Circularity Gap: The Role of Platforms and Marketplaces In this video, Peter Evans from McFadyen Digital highlights a critical issue facing our planet: the decline in the reuse of materials. According to the Circularity Gap Report, only a small percentage of extracted materials are reused, and this number is decreasing—from an estimated 9% to now just 7%. This trend emphasizes the urgent need for increased efforts in promoting circular practices. We discuss how innovative platforms and marketplaces present a tremendous opportunity to address this challenge. By facilitating the reuse of materials, these digital solutions can help close the circularity gap and foster a more sustainable future.
