Helping architects, designers and procurement teams discover, understand and select better building materials — faster and with greater confidence.
The Problem
An architect specifying exterior cladding must consult dozens of siloed sources — manufacturer PDFs, standards bodies, distributor catalogues, project references — before reaching a defensible decision. This takes days. It should take minutes.
FindingMat organises global material knowledge into a single intelligent decision system, trained on technical documents, standards, and real project context.
How it works
A unified index across manufacturers, product families, material types and regional availability. Filter by standard, application, sustainability certification, climate zone, or performance class.
Natural language queries over technical documents. Ask about fire classifications, thermal performance, acoustic ratings, or environmental impact. The AI surfaces the right data from the right sources.
Comparative analysis across shortlisted materials, ranked by fit to your project brief. Export spec sheets, generate substitution reports, or share the decision rationale directly with clients.
Built for
Specify with confidence. Search by performance criteria, climate zone, or regulatory requirement and get defensible recommendations with full technical backing — not a catalogue scroll.
Discover materials across texture, tone, tactility and embodied carbon. Compare finishes side by side, find substitutes when a preferred product is unavailable, and build curated material palettes.
Evaluate cost, lead time, regional availability, and performance risk before committing to a specification. Track substitution history and maintain an auditable decision trail for each project.
Get your products discovered by the right specifiers at the right project stage. Verified technical data, up-to-date EPD declarations, and structured product information that feeds directly into design decisions.
The Knowledge Layer
FindingMat ingests and continuously updates technical documentation, EPD registries, standards bodies, manufacturer data sheets and real project specifications to build a living knowledge graph of the built world.
Every query is answered against structured, verified data — not web-scraped summaries. The AI knows when a standard was last revised, which brands carry a given certification, and which materials have been specified in comparable projects.
Explore the data modelFrom practitioners
"We used to spend two full days compiling material options for a facade package. With FindingMat we have a defensible shortlist with technical data in under an hour. The AI understands context — it knows what coastal exposure means for a spec."
"FindingMat changed how our team handles material substitutions. When a product is unavailable, the AI surfaces alternatives ranked by how closely they match the original specification — including certification equivalence. That's unprecedented."
"As a manufacturer, we see qualified enquiries from specifiers who already understand our products before contacting us. The technical data they're working with is accurate and current. FindingMat brings us the right conversations."
