Vision
CCME enables a high integrity marketplace for reclaimed building materials—timber, fixtures, brick, steel, glass—sourced from demolition or surplus and matched to architects, contractors, and community projects. Our vision is to make circularity practical at job site speed: verified listings, traceable provenance, and local availability that reduces embodied carbon and capital costs. For sponsors, CCME turns a fragmented, informal salvage scene into a measurable lever for climate goals, affordable housing, and small contractor competitiveness.
Problem
Today, quality reclaimed materials are difficult to find at the right quantity, grade, and distance from the project timeline. Supply is lumpy and poorly documented; pricing is inconsistent; and architects struggle to prove code compliance and warranty coverage when using salvage. On the sell side, demolition teams lack simple ways to list and move goods before disposal windows close. These frictions cause contractors to default to virgin materials, creating higher emissions and budget overruns, while municipalities lose an important circular economy win.
Solution
Cosolvent structures verified listings, standardized grading, and reservation windows so contractors can plan confidently. With LLM+RAG, users upload unstructured assets—spec sheets, code excerpts, photos, CAD snapshots, waste diversion rules—and query naturally to extract the exact clauses or dimensions they need. ClientSynth simulates realistic demand from architects and builders across project types and seasons, giving sponsors early telemetry on which classes of salvaged materials will actually move and at what price. The net impact is faster matching, fewer disposal events, and credible carbon savings claims.
Business Model
Revenue comes from transaction fees, premium verification tiers, and municipal or developer subscriptions to guarantee supply for priority projects. Demolition firms gain faster turns; contractors save on materials; cities count certified diversion and embodied carbon reductions against climate targets. Over time, anonymized, governed data products—grade distributions, price bands, clearance timelines—can be licensed to insurers and ESG reporting platforms, broadening sponsor ROI.
