New recycled construction materials, developed by the authors among others, have been proposed in order to reduce the environmental and economical impact of the building facades. The model "Quantification of resources consumed in construction", by means of the bill of quantities which is based on the Andalusia Building Cost System, assesses the impact minimization. A real dwelling facade is analyzed, which is made of brick cladding and plasterboard, materials widely used in Andalusia, Spain. In the analysis these construction materials control the impact and are replaced by gypsum and concrete recycled panels, respectively. Finally the changes are evaluated by the quantification model, showing a significant reduction in the environmental and economical impact of the facade construction. The present work shows that the model "Quantification of resources consumed in construction" is sensible to changes in the construction materials.
