Every year, Oslobygg KF handles large volumes of construction waste across our portfolio of building and renovation projects. But today, we lack a “radar” that shows us where, when, and why that waste arises. With a portfolio the size of ours, even a 10% reduction would have a significant impact on both cost and climate footprint.

In certain project phases – such as interior fit-out and facade installation – we often see sudden spikes in waste. The causes? Hidden in siloed spreadsheets and manual weigh-tickets from contractors. Without the ability to trace waste back to specific deliveries or trades, our project managers are left to manage by averages and gut feeling. This leads to lost materials, unnecessary disposal costs, and avoidable climate emissions.

We want to change that.

To address this, we need better visibility, earlier signals, and tools that help us act before problems escalate. Whether through smarter data use, new tracking approaches, or behavioral insights, the goal is the same: less waste, lower emissions, and more circular construction.

We’re looking for startup solutions that can:

• Help us understand and reduce construction waste in real time

• Integrate seamlessly into existing workflows without burdening site crews

• Enable proactive decisions during planning and execution

• Support scalable change across a large and complex project portfolio

This is not just about waste management. It’s about smarter, more sustainable buildings – and creating a scalable model for the future of public construction.
