Contractor Profit Dashboard

Maximize Your Disposal Line Item Margins

The Opportunity

This tool helps restoration contractors calculate their potential profit from organized demolition and waste diversion. Input your claim volume to see your annual savings opportunity.

53% of interior and 74% of exterior materials are recyclable. This represents a massive profit opportunity through organized demolition. Based on our analysis of over 3,000 claims.

💡 The Reality: Yes, there may be a small amount of extra coordination involved—but the savings far outweigh the costs. Focus on efficiency for your crews, and there’s significant profit to capture. EcoClaim can help you optimize your workflow to make this seamless.

Realistic Profit Calculator

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter your claim counts: Input the number of claims you handle annually in each category below.
  2. Review the garbage bag savings: These are calculated automatically based on your claim mix and your adoption of our “no garbage bags” methodology.
  3. Adjust labor assumptions (optional): If you believe sorting adds extra labor time, use the sliders to model your assumptions. You can test your own scenarios to see how even WITH additional labor costs, the savings per claim from waste diversion are significant.

Your Annual Claim Mix

<$10K • Avg $5K • ~1,005kg debris
Range 0-10%: Small claims require the most manual work—separating materials and weighing individual batches by hand.
$10K-$50K • Avg $30K • ~6,030kg debris
Range 0-5%: Medium claims use bulk sorting techniques and truck weights from landfill tickets, reducing admin time.
>$50K • Avg $75K • ~15,075kg debris
Range 0-1%: At scale, you’re reorganizing workflow—remove drywall until the bin is full, then insulation. Dumpster waybills track weights automatically.
≤$50K • Avg $25K • ~2,453kg debris
Range 0-1%: No significant change in process—just put soft metals on top of the bin at the end and send to a recycling facility instead of the dump.

Garbage Bag Savings (Interior Claims Only)

Organized demolition eliminates the need for garbage bags on interior jobs. Materials go directly into bins or reusable containers.

Your Portfolio Bag Calculation

Bag cost: $1 each (industry standard pricing). Note: Exterior/roofing claims don’t use garbage bags.
