The Building Cost Information Service (BCIS) has launched its Cost and Carbon Materials Database that can calculate cost and carbon values for more than 9,200 common building materials.

The Building Cost Information Service (BCIS) launched this week a free-to-access benchmark tool for infrastructure carbon assessment in the UK construction industry.

The construction industry must maintain its commitment to decarbonisation even as the government back-pedals. That’s the message from those involved in the Built Environment Carbon Database, which will launch next week.
