Construction Intelligence for Supply Chains
Construction doesn't need another dashboard.It needs intelligence.
Bricks & Brains connects project, procurement, supplier and site data to understand disruptions, reason through their impact and coordinate what happens next.
BIM models what is designed.→Bricks & Brains models the operational material supply chain.NOT A 3D / BIM TWIN

B2 Intelligence
Not another dashboard. A system that understands what needs attention.
Visibility tells you what is happening. Bricks & Brains goes further: it connects the context, evaluates downstream consequences and recommends the next best action before agents help carry it out.
01 · Detect
What changed?
Supplier milestones, quotations, shipments, substitutions, EPDs and project status continuously update the operational picture.
02 · Connect
What does it affect?
The Knowledge Graph links each signal to materials, POs, suppliers, packages, programme activities and carbon records.
03 · Evaluate
What are the consequences?
Bricks & Brains reasons across cost, schedule, supplier risk and embodied carbon instead of treating each impact separately.
04 · Recommend
What should we do next?
The decision layer evaluates response options and surfaces a recommended next action with supporting context.

B2 Intelligence sits between the live Construction Supply Chain Digital Twin and the agent teams. It turns connected project context into prioritised recommendations, while humans retain authority over commercial and project decisions.
B2 Intelligence in action
A concrete delivery is delayed by four hours.
Instead of another alert, B2 traces the dependencies and prepares a coordinated response.
Understanding the impact…
- Concrete pour schedule
- Concrete crew availability
- Pump booking
- Site access & downstream activities
A coordinated response is ready.
- Concrete team rescheduled
- Pump booking extended
- Affected teams notified
Construction Supply Chain Digital Twin
One connected record from requirement to site
Bricks & Brains maintains a shared operational data layer across Project → Package → Material → Supplier → PO → Shipment → Site, with cost, schedule and carbon attached to the same material records.
- Commercial state. RFQs, supplier responses, awards and purchase orders.
- Physical state. Supplier status, shipment milestones, ETA and site readiness.
- Carbon state. Quantities, EPDs, emission factors and material-level CO₂e.
Material record
Structural Steel Package
- Requirement — BOQ quantity + specification
- Supplier — bid + lead time + risk
- Order — PO + committed quantity
- Delivery — ETA + site dependency
- Carbon — EPD + kgCO₂e + transport
B2 Agents · Execution layer
Decision intelligence first. Agents execute the follow-through.
The Bricks & Brains brain identifies what matters, evaluates the impact and recommends an action. Specialised agents then perform the repetitive coordination around that decision while commercial, contractual and regulatory authority remains with your team.
Procurement agents
Draft RFQs, chase quotations, compare bids, enrich supplier intelligence and prepare award recommendations.
Logistics agents
Monitor supplier commitments and delivery milestones, identify disruption risk and coordinate exceptions.
Carbon agents
Match material records to EPDs or approved factors, calculate embodied carbon and surface lower-carbon options.
B2 Carbon
Carbon intelligence from the supply chain itself
Bricks & Brains links BOQs, supplier quotations, purchase orders, EPDs and delivery records to create a living embodied-carbon ledger — instead of treating carbon reporting as a disconnected spreadsheet exercise.
Design / Baseline
Use BOQ quantities and available product or generic factors to establish an early embodied-carbon view.
Procured
Replace assumptions with selected suppliers, product-specific EPDs and committed quantities as awards are made.
Delivered / As-built
Reconcile substitutions and actual material quantities so the carbon ledger moves closer to what was truly built.
Start focused
Start without a rip-and-replace
Prove the use case with one project or material package first. Integrate deeper only where it creates value.
Start from the data you already have
Begin with BOQs, spreadsheets, RFQs, purchase orders and project documents. Deep ERP or BIM integration is not required for the first pilot.
Fit around existing workflows
Keep your current procurement, email and project systems. Bricks & Brains adds an intelligence layer rather than forcing a rip-and-replace programme.
Pilot before platform rollout
Prove value on one project or material package first, then connect deeper into ERP, BIM and project systems as the use case expands.
Pilot
Run Bricks & Brains on one live project
Start with a defined procurement package and evaluate the workflow using your own material, supplier and delivery data.
- 01
Define the package
Select a live project, material package and outcome to measure.
- 02
Connect project data
Bring in relevant BOQ, supplier, RFQ, PO, logistics and EPD information.
- 03
Measure the value
Track procurement effort, risk visibility, data coverage and carbon intelligence during the pilot.

FAQs
Bricks & Brains, answered
What is Bricks & Brains?
Bricks & Brains is a decision-intelligence layer for construction material supply chains. It maintains a connected operational view of materials, suppliers, orders, logistics, programme dependencies and carbon so teams can understand what changed, what it affects and what to do next across cost, schedule, risk and embodied carbon.
Where does Bricks & Brains start?
Pilots can begin from the material and procurement data teams already have, such as BOQs, spreadsheets, RFQs, purchase orders and supplier documents. Deeper BIM and ERP integrations can be added as the pilot expands.
Does Bricks & Brains make procurement decisions automatically?
AI agents can draft RFQs, chase responses, compare suppliers, monitor logistics and prepare recommendations. Commercial, contractual and regulatory decisions remain behind human approval gates.
How does Bricks & Brains calculate embodied carbon?
Bricks & Brains links material quantities to product-specific EPDs or approved emission factors and can incorporate supplier and logistics information. This creates a live carbon ledger that can move from design assumptions toward procured and delivered quantities.
Where is Bricks & Brains focused today?
Bricks & Brains is a Singapore-based construction technology company focused on working with developers, main contractors, EPC teams and sustainability stakeholders in Singapore.
