06 - Materials

Definition – reused in situ - KBCN1902

Definition A material qualifies as reused in situ where it meets all of the following:

• It is removed from its original position or original application within the building.
• It undergoes no more than minor processing that does not alter its fundamental nature (e.g. cleaning, cutting, fixing to other materials).
• It is reinstalled in a different position or a different application within the building (or reused elsewhere within the project).

Exclusion Materials that remain in their original location and original application throughout the works, including where they undergo minor processing such as cleaning, repair or redecoration, are classed as retained, and are excluded from the Mat 03 calculator.
