Derby

Derby Riverlights development cuts material costs

The 46,451 sq.m development includes a new bus station with forecourt as well as bars, restaurants, two hotels, a gym and a casino.

Main focus

Supply Chain collaborated more effectively to:

  • Ensure correct specification requirements were achieved
  • Reduce material cost of wall types
  • Provide detailed and consistent specification for accurate pricing

Challenge

British Gypsum worked closely with the architect in designing the specifications and issuing a project pack to ensure all details were covered and marked to minimise on-site issues. Over 150 hours were spent on bespoke CAD details for the project pack.

Solution

Working alongside the architect enabled the main contractor to price the most competitive specification. The Technical Support Manager from British Gypsum also visited site on 24 occasions to present the bespoke CAD details to the site team and to ensure they were familiar with the specification.
