Founding Technical Partner Programme
BuildBetterStuff is an architect-led material knowledge platform designed to help architects better understand and confidently specify sustainable and regenerative building materials.
Through extensive research, we develop structured product pages that translate complex technical information into clear, consistent formats tailored for architectural practice. It focuses on clarity, comparability, and relevance, helping architects quickly understand material characteristics, environmental performance, application, and product availability for specification.
Alongside product listings, our editorial project documentation examines how materials are used in real life application, highlighting technical lessons, construction processes, and specification insights that are relevant to architects.
During the beta phase, a selected group of manufacturers is invited to participate as Founding Technical Partners.
Partners benefit from:
enhanced product pages with technical documentation and EPD downloads
visibility within the curated BuildBetterStuff material library
inclusion in the Partner Directory, allowing practices to connect directly for projects
opportunities for editorial exposure through our knowledge-led content
engagement analytics showing how architects interact with product pages and documentation
Participation in the beta phase is invitation-only, with founding partner pricing available for the first cohort.
