Our Services
The Building Material Scout connects all responsible parties of a construction project and simplifies communication and planning. As a manufacturer, your products can be integrated early in the planning. Planners & architects have easy access to certified products for project planning and the possibility to contact manufacturers directly.
Design, assess & document products – digital, paperless, time saving
Service for planners, architects and builders
The trend towards green building is growing. Often they offer significantly higher quality than required by law. Different certification systems for construction products, buildings, and industrial and urban neighborhoods not only increase complexity, but also the amount of work involved in planning. The Building Material Scout offers planners and building owners a smart project tool for finding the right products, planning and documentation.
Service for manufacturers
Many ingredients used in construction products that are harmful to humans and the environment will be banned in the near future. The trend is moving increasingly towards green building and will demand healthy, sustainable and smart products from manufacturers in future. With the certification of your products through our assessment service, you create a substantial added value for project planning & documentation.
The Building Material Scout was used for these construction projects
The Cradle – Düsseldorf
The Cradle – Düsseldorf Im Sinne der Circular Economy werden Bauelemente reversibel verbunden, sodass sie nach Gebrauch wiederverwertet werden können. Zusätzlich werden gesunde und vollständig recyclebare Bauprodukte verwendet oder gar beim Hersteller für ihre Lebensdauer geleast – THE CRADLE wird damit zum Materialdepot. Der „Material Passport“ verzeichnet alle verwendeten Materialien, was präzise Informationen über das verfügbare Depot sowie für einen späteren Rückbau liefert.
Quartier Heidestrasse – Berlin
Quartier Heidestrasse – Berlin Project duration: 2014 – 2023 175,000 m² land area DGNB Certification Digitization consulting Documentation of the used construction products
OWP 12 – Stuttgart
OWP 12 – Stuttgart Drees & Sommer is constructing a unique administration building that meets all modern requirements for environmental friendliness and digitalization. To ensure sustainable consumption of resources and minimize waste, Drees & Sommer experts are largely applying the Cradle to Cradle design principle. Detailed information on the materials used in construction and their chemical composition is provided by a material pass issued before construction begins.
The platform is ideally suited for project documentation due to the continuous documentation process from the planner to the construction company to the product manufacturer. Currently, over 30 major construction projects are already being realized with the Building Material Scout.
