Index drivers by material envelope

Weighted to reflect typical UAE reviewer focus: embodied carbon intensity, recycled & regional content, VOC limits, toxicity screens, reuse/circularity readiness.

Specification compliance hotspots

GCC-procurement reality: adhesives/sealants often miss low-VOC submittals; steel/cement need EPDs or proxies for credible carbon proofs.

Material register — scored lines

Use this as a BIM-linked checklist: substitute products update the MRI and re-roll totals for tender clarifications.
