  • Look for lower-clinker mixes, reused structure, and scope reductions before fine-grained product swaps.
  • Prioritize recycled content, efficient sections, and procurement-specific EPD comparisons.

  • Check source geography, fabrication intensity, and whether stone is structural, cladding, or finish-only.
