For Designers:

We are building you the perfect solution! Perfection takes time, so what you see today is not what you’ll see next month…

Our catalog will include every possible product in the world – green, not yet green – every CSI Division. Every attribute, not just sustainability: lines, collections, color ways, warranty, installation, etc – but, unlike Sweets, Arcat or other traditional “catalogs”, ours is embedded in your best workflow tool! The catalog also:

Has all kinds of filters: sustainability (mM CMF), 3rd party certifications, firm-specific standards filter, ratings and reviews and more
1-Click to add products from the catalog to Master Material Lists and / or Project Specific MLs
Export to spreadsheets at any time, any data in the system
Compare products by sustainability attributes (soon all attributes – performance and design)
Revit plugin live in Q1 2026 and a lot more!

For Manufacturers:

A true 2-way Exchange to Save Time:

Instead of manually entering and updating your certification information for your website, we can automate the flow of that data directly to your internal systems! We maintain accurate “live” certification for you and automate your product data being sent to our catalog.

All certified products are listed for FREE:

Certification bodies already automate their data to us in real-time. Any certifications you have appear in our catalog at no charge, organized by AIA Material Pledge & mindfulMATERIAL’s Common Material Framework. However, the information collected by certifiers does not include the aesthetic and other tech info that designers need (lines, collections, colors, patterns, data sheets, etc). We do include this information, so sending us your complete product information gives you much better exposure.

HPDC Material Health Tool Suite is a special added benefit in our integration and offers a special expanded functions using their HPD PreCheck, screening materials against an impressive array of industry requirements, standards and rating systems. Learn more here!

Unprecedented and Unique Data Analytics:

BuildingEase is the first and only complete workflow platform in the industry, used by global owners and design firms.

Unlike any niche ‘green product databases’, BuildingEase appeals to the masses! Our catalog is not limited to certified products, so designers feel like they can, “…build an entire project” using our tools.

In BuildingEase, owners and designers:

Centralize their internal product standards so they can automate compliance across ALL of their project teams
Curate Master Lists of Preferred Products – again, supporting consistent compliance across all project teams
Designate each product as 1st choice, 2nd choice (acceptable alternative) or Noncompliant
Use the industry’s 1st and only true EASY BUTTON for one-click compliance checking for thousands of products at once
Manage their entire workflow from research through approvals and installation
Knowledge management about your products is automated across all teams, captured once and shared through internal, firmwide Product Notes and Spec Notes…and a lot more!

This means you get insights and analytics that don’t exist anywhere else!

In addition to the typical “who clicked” on your product data, you can see what matters:

How many times have your product(s) been added to firmwide Master Lists of Preferred products?
How many times have any product(s) been added to Noncompliant Master Lists – and why?
Competitive intelligence: your brands vs. others
Demand for various certifications by sector, region and more

And if you choose to participate in our (optional) Global Buyer’s Club, you will also see:

Invisible sales LOSS data: how many times has your product been substituted during construction?
Who got the bids that you lost but didn’t know about, and why?
Pricing trends by region, sector and more
