The Materially Better Advantage™
Healthier Materials. Measurable Impact.
We transform material decisions into portfolio-level intelligence—so sustainability goals become documented, contextual outcomes.
The Materially Better Advantage™
Intent Isn’t the Issue. Information Is.
Goals live in one place. Specifications in another. Procurement somewhere else. We connect the dots—and ground them in project reality.
The Materially Better Advantage™
Benchmark What Belongs Together.
Different building types carry different risks and material demands. Real sustainability benchmarks compare like with like—because context defines impact.
The Materially Better Advantage™
Turn Your Specs Into Actionable Data.
Every product. Every division. Extracted, structured, and evaluated within the context of your project types and portfolio goals.
The Materially Better Advantage™
From Silos to Strategy.
Patterns emerge across teams, sectors, and time. We surface them—so materials decisions are based on evidence, not anecdote.
The Materially Better Advantage™
Data Reveals.
Insight Moves.
When data reveals what’s consistent—and what’s not—standards evolve. Context defines impact. Portfolios improve.
The Materially Better Advantage™
Ready-to-Submit Reporting.
We turn portfolio insight into clear, submission-ready reports—aligned with AIA Materials Pledge, ESG goals, and internal standards.
The Materially Better Advantage™
Human Health. Climate Health. Social Equity.
Materials decisions affect occupants, fenceline communities, and supply chains differently across building types. Context guides responsible choices.
The Materially Better Advantage™
Shape Your Portfolio— Shape Your Legacy.
From specs, submittals, and CDs to portfolio patterns, your projects tell a story. Align every decision with your values—and watch the impact unfold.
Materially Better transforms project documentation into strategic insight—turning specifications into data, data into action, and action into measurable healthier materials outcomes that shape a portfolio’s legacy.
Make every materials decision count.
Across more than 200+ projects, Materially Better has partnered with teams to turn specifications, submittals, and construction documents into measurable healthier materials progress. We combine consulting expertise with a rigorous, data-driven approach to show where projects are already succeeding, where opportunities remain, and how to carry those successes across a portfolio.
Beyond individual projects, we advocate to manufacturers for healthier, more sustainable products and work with AEC professionals to accelerate their adoption across portfolios. The result is tangible, scalable impact: buildings that not only meet current ambitions but also shape a healthier built environment for the future.
Materially Better delivers measurable, repeatable, and scalable healthier materials solutions—right here, right now.
Smarter materials, smarter projects.
Red2Green was developed by Materially Better to enhance consulting services and deliver better sustainability outcomes on every project. The platform combines a healthier materials library with project management and reporting tools, enabling teams to align selections and affirm the AIA Materials Pledge. Real-time reporting keeps everyone on the same page—from planning and RFPs through design, construction, and renovation—while a flexible workflow ensures team members can access the information most relevant to their role.
R2G is available as a self-service solution or paired with our consulting expertise. Teams seeking a self-reliant approach can adopt best practices to manage materials selection and project workflow independently, while consulting clients gain full integration with our guidance. The choice is yours—how can we help?

Our Sustainability Partners
Consulting Empowered by Effective Data
Red2Green is a powerful tool for designing healthier buildings. The software, along with guidance from Materially Better consultants, has challenged us to make the best design choices for our projects while also advocating for manufacturers to enhance their processes, refine their ingredients, and provide greater transparency in ingredient documentation.
Effectively Aligning Teams to Project Goals
The Materially Better team’s work during the Construction document phase of the Living Village project at Yale University was a game-changer. Their checklists and Pre-Submittal forms ensured subconsultants were aligned with our sustainability goals from the start. The Materially Better team has continued to be a tremendous source of support, helping us stay on track and aligned through every project change.
We work with some of the most forward-thinking and pioneering design teams, construction managers, sustainability consultants, and owners in the world.
HEALTHIER MATERIALS ARE THE BEDROCK OF OUR FUTURE
We have been an industry leader in healthy materials consulting for the built environment since 2010.
