🎙️ New Episode: Load Bearing E04 – Big vs. Small in Product Data In this episode, our co-founder Phanos joins Noam from Stylib to unpack a timely topic: how smaller companies can navigate data management in a world shaped by larger players. The conversation covers: - Structural advantages and constraints of big vs. small firms - Why digital tools alone aren't enough without human intelligence - Practical strategies for lean teams to stay relevant and competitive Whether you're building data infrastructure or choosing tech partners, this is a useful systems-level look at scale, agility, and tradeoffs in the construction and design industries. 🎧 Listen now: https://lnkd.in/gi2gF6uy #constructiondata #productdata #AECtech #startups #digitalsupplychains #LoadBearingPodcast

Are people losing trust in EPDs? If you work in in construction sustainability, you have probably noticed a steady increase in posts, comments, and offline discussions expressing concern about the quality and trustworthiness of EPDs. The article below is my own attempt to understand and structure information about what's going wrong, why it's happening, and where this might lead if we don’t address it. I surely do not have all of this right, and I would welcome your thoughts. Especially if you’re on the ground doing this work and grappling with these same tensions. Feedback (public or private) is always welcome Fabian Diaz Anna Lasso Christian Donath Lisa Oberaigner Leise Sandeman Santa Praet Pat Hermon William Paddock Francesc Romero Dr. Malik Sajawal Akhtar, LCACP

Quantity Surveyors using RIB Software CostX – this is for you. You can now calculate embodied carbon inside CostX as easily as you price. ✅ Cost and Carbon — same method, same workflow. With the new 7.3 release (read more here https://shorturl.at/WyIK2) , you can import 2050 Materials' sustainability data directly into CostX and work with it just like your regular rate libraries. Carbon rates are now line items, per m², m³, piece — the same way you already handle cost. ✏️ Early stage? Use rough estimates. 📃 Intermediate stage? Add more detail. 👷♂️ Tender? Full precision. No overpromising software needed — just apply the same method you already know. If you want to see it in action, join us on April 29, 3pm BST for a 30-min webinar. 👉 Register here: https://lnkd.in/grEv4BHg #costx #quantitiessurveying #sustainability #embodiedcarbon #lca

🪴 Do you know that feeling when you walk into an office, and everything just feels right? Fresh air, good lighting, materials that feel good to touch—spaces designed thoughtfully for your health and comfort. Compare that to a space built without considering sustainability and wellbeing: it drains your energy and focus, making every day feel longer. We've highlighted some of the most interesting low-carbon products that leading designers use to create offices you'll actually enjoy spending time in.

What do trade shows and data structuring have in common? More than you think... In episode 3 of Load Bearing, Noam and Phanos talk about how small, boring-sounding investments—like clean product data—can make a big impact. They also ask the hard question: are trade shows still worth it, or are they just networking with free pens? 🎧 Full episode here: https://lnkd.in/gGeudDkZ #LoadBearing #TradeShows #SpecificationSales #ConstructionTech #ArchitecturalProducts #2050Materials 2050 Materials #data #AI
