Tangible Materials

Consulting and supplying low-embodied-carbon building materials

Overview

Tangible Materials helps real estate owners and developers reduce embodied carbon in building materials by offering consulting plus sourcing of low or no embodied carbon products for insulation, rebar, finishes, and glazing. The company analyzes project material choices and supply chains to identify lower-carbon options, then sources and guides their use while advising on compliance with building codes and carbon policies. It differs from competitors by combining technical embodied-carbon expertise with end-to-end material sourcing across multiple building components, acting as a partner for projects needing carbon reductions and regulatory compliance. Its goal is to enable more construction projects to meet carbon-reduction targets and regulatory requirements through practical, lifecycle-aware material solutions and expert guidance.
