Lower-carbon levers	Look for lower-clinker mixes, reused structure, and scope reductions before fine-grained product swaps.	Check source geography, fabrication intensity, and whether stone is structural, cladding, or finish-only. Track sourcing, certification, and assembly logic rather than assuming timber is automatically low impact.
