Carbon signals	Concrete, Quartzite, and Water look like the main embodied-carbon drivers in the current palette. Concrete Quartzite Water	The recorded material palette leans lower-carbon on paper, but procurement and quantity still matter. No dominant drivers yet.
Lower-carbon levers	Look for lower-clinker mixes, reused structure, and scope reductions before fine-grained product swaps. Use classification and product-level EPD research to place this material more precisely.	Track sourcing, certification, and assembly logic rather than assuming timber is automatically low impact.
