Roadmap Q4/2024 – Introducing the Workspace: The New Key Feature for Design and Building Professionals

Empowering Sustainable Homes with Evitat

As the demand for sustainable construction grows in the residential space, design and building professionals need tools that make it easier to integrate low-carbon, healthy and climate resilience solutions into their projects.

Evitat – Introducing the Workspace

In Q4 of 2024, Evitat is excited to roll out the Workspace, a game-changing feature that offers a collaborative and streamlined environment to enhance project planning, communication, and sustainability efforts between manufacturers, professionals and their clients .

Below, we’ll explore the key features that make Workspace a vital tool for professionals committed to building a low-carbon, healthy and climate resilient future.

Exclusive Environmental product and impact Data: Informed Decisions at Your Fingertips

Workspace will provide direct access to exclusive product data, empowering professionals with detailed insights into materials' environmental impacts, health benefits, efficiency, and resilience.

This rich database includes:

• Product specifications covering materials, performance data, manufacturing processes, and lifecycle data.

• Testing results for critical metrics like durability and energy performance.

• Certification details verifying compliance with environmental and industry standards.

Inquiry Capability: Seamless Communication with Manufacturers and Suppliers

Workspace also includes an inquiry capability, allowing users to connect directly with manufacturers. With up to five inquiries available per user, professionals can:

• Check product availability.

• Request samples or additional technical documentation.

• Engage in direct business discussions and negotiations.

This feature builds meaningful relationships between professionals and suppliers, encouraging collaboration and innovation while simplifying the procurement process.

Collaborative Material Board: Organise, Compare, and Present

One of Workspace’s standout features is the Collaborative Material Board, which serves as a digital hub where professionals can save, organise, and collaborate on material selections. This tool allows teams to:

• Collaborate in real-time on material choices, ensuring everyone is aligned.

• Compare options based on sustainability, performance, and cost.

• Present to clients, showcasing environmental, performance, health and resilience benefits clearly and professionally.

By centralising material management, the Collaborative Material Board ensures that every project phase—from planning to client presentation—is efficient, transparent, and focused on sustainability.

Specification Sheet: Turning Material Selections into Action

Evitat’s Specification Sheet feature allows professionals to turn approved material selections from the Collaborative Material Board directly into detailed specification sheets. This crucial function helps professionals:

• Document approved materials for easy reference throughout the project lifecycle, reducing the risk of errors.

• Integrate Non-Evitat products, offering flexibility in sourcing while ensuring sustainable practices are maintained.

This streamlined approach from material selection to implementation saves time and boosts workflow efficiency, ensuring consistency and sustainability at every step.

Client Project Passport: Tracking Sustainability Throughout the Project Lifecycle

The Client Project Passport in Workspace links to the Property Owner Logbook, tracking sustainability documentation and credentials from start to finish. It stores all records in one accessible location, providing professionals with transparency and accountability. This tool gives your clients confidence that their projects meet sustainable building goals, from planning to as-build state and provide easy access to digitally stored product and warranty information .

Vetted Professional Listings: Boosting sustainability-centric Credibility and Visibility

Evitat's Vetted Professional Listings are a powerful way for professionals to showcase their experience and expertise. By being featured on Evitat, professionals gain visibility among potential clients and collaborators who prioritise sustainable construction. Being listed boosts credibility and positions professionals as leaders in the industry’s net-zero transformation, ensuring their skills are recognised in a highly competitive market.

Looking Ahead: A Platform for the Future of Construction

Evitat’s Q4/2024 Workspace release is just the start. In 2025, we’re launching an AI-powered Assistant, Lead Management tool, and Web-Clipper to turn sustainability decisions into real climate solutions. These tools will guide professionals through eco-friendly practices and track the impact of their decisions in real time.

With cutting-edge data access, collaborative features, and sustainability tracking, Evitat’s Workspace will transform how professionals approach construction and design. As the industry shifts towards greener practices, Workspace provides the tools to streamline processes, foster stronger relationships, and make sustainability a core priority—empowering professionals to lead the future of sustainable construction.
