Building materials includes the organizations that extract, process, produce and supply the materials incorporated into buildings and infrastructure, from raw inputs to delivery at the point of use.
Producers run continuous plants against volatile inputs and commercial commitments that change week to week. TwoSuns connects the production, quality, resources and inputs, maintenance and commercial context that those decisions depend on, and keeps a record of what was decided.
Material passes through several organizations, and often several plants, before it reaches a project.
Organizations that source the natural and recovered inputs materials are made from.
Continuous and batch plants that convert raw inputs into materials.
Producers that turn materials into ready-to-use products.
The equipment and operating activity that keep production running.
Networks that move heavy, bulky material to regional markets.
The run does not end at the plant gate. Material is specified before it is made, committed before it is dispatched, and judged long after it is delivered, once it is in the ground and the asset is operating. Producers who can see the whole run make commitments that hold.
Configured from the same capabilities, around the commercial and operational work this industry actually runs.
