Your construction company's memory, always within reach
Every blueprint, price, supplier, and lesson from past projects, searchable in seconds.
Matterial's knowledge base keeps everything your projects have taught you —blueprints, unit prices, suppliers, and lessons learned— in one searchable place. When a new job comes in, you don't start from a blank page: you look up what you already quoted, with whom and at what price, and reuse what worked. Nothing gets rebuilt from scratch.
What problem it solves
Your company's know-how lives scattered: in old spreadsheets, in email threads, in the head of the site engineer who already left. When the team changes or time goes by, you lose the price you negotiated, the reliable supplier, and the mistake that cost you dearly. Every new project starts from scratch and repeats the same stumbles.
How it works
It all saves itself
Every blueprint, budget, quote, and supplier from your projects is recorded in Matterial as you work, with no extra data entry.
Search in seconds
You type what you need —a price, a supplier, a construction detail— and find where and when you used it before.
Reuse what worked
You take a unit price, a supplier, or a line item from a past project and apply it to the new one without building it again.
Capture the lesson
You note what you learned on each job so the team doesn't repeat the same mistake on the next one.

Frequently asked questions
Is the knowledge base available yet?
It's on the way. It's one of Matterial's upcoming features: today the platform already stores your blueprints, budgets, quotes, and suppliers by project, and the knowledge base will make them searchable and reusable across projects. If you'd like us to let you know when it launches, create your free account.
What information will it store?
Everything each project generates: blueprints, budgets, quotes, unit prices, suppliers, and the lessons learned. The goal is that none of that know-how gets lost when you switch projects or teams.
What's the point of having my projects' memory?
So you don't start from scratch. When a new job comes in, you check what you quoted before, at what price and with which supplier, and reuse what already worked instead of rebuilding it.
Does the knowledge disappear if a team member leaves?
No. Because it's recorded in Matterial, the negotiated price, the reliable supplier, and the lesson learned stay with the company even when the team changes.
