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 and supplying low/no embodied carbon options for insulation, rebar, finishes, and glazing. It analyzes project materials and supply chains to identify lower-carbon options and guides their use while helping with building code and carbon policy compliance. It differentiates itself by combining embodied carbon expertise with material sourcing across multiple components, acting as a partner for carbon reduction and regulatory compliance beyond a supplier or consultant alone. 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.

Simplify's take

What believers are saying

  • October 2026 pages push LEED v5, making Tangible immediately relevant to compliance teams.
  • Its real-time design comparison helps teams cut carbon before value engineering locks designs.
  • Prologis Ventures' backing and 2026 hiring signal enterprise traction, not distress.

What critics are saying

  • Autodesk or EC3 can bundle similar reporting and commoditize Tangible by 2027.
  • If embodied-carbon rules stall outside North America, its core demand engine shrinks fast.
  • Developers delaying projects into 2027 will squeeze consulting and software budgets immediately.

What makes Tangible Materials unique

  • Tangible fuses Revit, PDF, and Autodesk Construction Cloud into one carbon workflow.
  • Its October 2026 docs map every material to EPD-backed embodied carbon.
  • It supports 18 reporting scopes, including CALGreen, GRESB, ILFI, and Toronto Green Standard.
