Effectively managing the materials on jobsites with modern software can have a significant impact on contractors bottom lines. Every built environment turns raw materials into polished projects. But along the way, those material costs can start to add up, especially if the materials aren’t procured and managed properly.

Embodied carbon has emerged as a critical consideration in measuring the carbon footprint of building materials. However, this is only a part of a material’s total carbon footprint. The material’s contribution to reducing operational carbon must also be considered. A case in point is roofing. What is embodied carbon?
