Construction & Real Estate

    CO₂e in every tender. Before you commit.

    The Challenge

    Construction procurement is fundamentally different: the carbon decision happens at the quotation stage, not after the invoice arrives. By the time materials are delivered and invoiced, the emissions are locked in. Yet most carbon accounting tools only work retrospectively — processing invoices after the fact.

    Meanwhile, LEED, BREEAM, and EU Taxonomy requirements increasingly demand carbon visibility during the design and procurement phase. Clients want to compare competing bids not just on price and schedule, but on CO₂e per m³.

    How Simple Helps

    Simple processes supplier quotations, BOMs, and delivery notes to give you indicative CO₂e values during the bidding phase — turning carbon data from a reporting obligation into a procurement tool.

    Quotation-stage carbon analysis. Upload supplier quotes and receive indicative CO₂e values before you commit. Compare competing bids on carbon intensity alongside price and delivery.

    EPD integration. Where Environmental Product Declarations are available, Simple uses product-specific emission factors for maximum accuracy. Where EPDs are not available, ecoinvent activity-based factors provide reliable estimates.

    Bill of Materials processing. Complex BOMs with hundreds of line items are extracted, classified, and matched to emission factors automatically — materials, quantities, and units resolved by AI.

    Retrospective compliance reporting. Once construction is complete, process invoices and delivery notes for CSRD-compliant emissions reporting with full audit trails.

    Standards & Certifications

    • EU Taxonomy alignment — Carbon data at the granularity needed for Taxonomy-eligible activity classification
    • LEED / BREEAM — Emissions data for green building certification requirements
    • EPD / PCF integration — Product-specific emission factors where available, activity-based estimates where not
    • CSRD / ESRS E1 — Full Scope 3 reporting from procurement documents
