What Madaster does

Madaster is a Netherlands-based SaaS company, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Amsterdam (with a secondary contact office in Laren), that operates a cloud-based platform for registering, organizing, storing, and exchanging data on materials in the built environment. Its product ingests BIM files (IFC from Archicad, Bentley, Revit, and Autodesk) as well as Excel data, matches elements to materials and products in a library of over 100 verified Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) databases, and automatically generates asset-level material passports, lifecycle assessments, embodied carbon and global warming potential (GWP) reports, and a proprietary Madaster Circularity Indicator (MCI) score covering construction, use-phase, and end-of-life stages. Modules span Material Passports, Circularity Insights, Life Cycle Assessments, Portfolio Performance Review, Asset Valuation & Residual Value, and a Digital Product Passport (DPP) launched in January 2025 targeting the EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). The integrated EPEA Urban Mining Tool provides an entry shortcut for clients without detailed BIM models.

Madaster monetizes primarily through annual SaaS subscriptions, organized into three tiers — Buildings & Infrastructure, Product & Material Manufacturer, and Enterprise & Custom — with pricing customized on project count, asset area (m²), users, and feature access. A fixed-price one-year pilot (up to three projects) serves as the structured entry point for new markets and customers. Professional services and onboarding are bundled into subscriptions rather than sold separately. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with multi-country regional teams in the Netherlands, Belgium, Norway, the UK, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the US, and Luxembourg, supplemented by a self-service registration channel for mid-market customers and event-driven community building (Madaster Connect).

The platform serves asset owners, project developers, contractors, architects, engineers, manufacturers, demolishers/recyclers, consultants, investors, public institutions, and academia. Named customers and partners include British Land, Morgan Sindall Group, Koba, Greencore Homes, Staedion, Prysmian Group, Zurich Insurance, Redevco, BPD, Sweco, and Schueco. The platform records over 25 million square meters of registered real estate and infrastructure assets across 32+ countries. The ownership structure pairs the commercial entity Madaster Shared Services BV with the affiliated non-profit Madaster Foundation, which manages the social mission and methodology development. Madaster reported approximately $2.6M of seed funding from EISMEA in 2017 and is privately held with 11-50 employees.

Products and services

• Material Passport Automated asset-level passport documenting material composition, value, reusability, and provenance for buildings and infrastructure across the building lifecycle, designed for asset owners, contractors, architects, and engineers.
• Circularity Insights Dashboard delivering the Madaster Circularity Indicator (MCI), material flow analysis, and detachability scoring at material, building, and portfolio level for asset owners, designers, and contractors.
• Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) Lifecycle assessment covering stages A1–A3 (manufacturing), A4–A5 (construction), B1–B5 (use/maintenance), and C1–C4 (end of life), with embodied carbon (GWP) reporting per building layer and per m², for asset owners, designers, contractors, and project developers.
• Digital Product Passport (DPP) Product-level digital passport providing material composition, environmental impact, circularity attributes, certificates, technical specifications, and disassembly instructions for individual construction products, designed for product and material manufacturers to comply with EU ESPR.
• Portfolio Performance Aggregated reporting across multiple buildings to benchmark circularity, embodied carbon, mass intensity, and detachability KPIs at the portfolio level, for asset owners, REITs, and infrastructure operators.
• Asset Valuation Financial module calculating the Net Present Value (NPV) and residual value of materials and products at end of life, accounting for disassembly, transportation, and processing costs, for asset owners, investors, and project developers.
• Madaster API Documented REST API (OpenAPI) enabling external systems, including PIM platforms, to register assets, retrieve material data, and integrate with Madaster resources, using X-API-Key authentication; available at api.madaster.com.
• Pilot Project Program Fixed-price one-year structured pilot covering up to three projects for organizations exploring circularity in new markets, designed to demonstrate platform value and drive broader subscription adoption.

• Sphera: Enterprise sustainability and LCA software platform covering multiple industries including built environment. Wider portfolio competitor with overlapping LCA, ESG, and environmental impact functionality for industrial customers.
• Procore: NYSE-listed construction management SaaS platform covering project workflows, documentation, and compliance. Broad incumbent that could expand into sustainability and material passport features for the same customer base.
• Autodesk Construction Cloud: Major BIM and construction technology suite from Autodesk (NASDAQ: ADSK) including Revit and the Autodesk Construction Cloud platform. Incumbent with potential to integrate material passport and circularity functionality into its dominant BIM authoring workflows.
• SimaPro: Long-established LCA software used across industries including built environment. Broader portfolio competitor with overlapping life cycle assessment and environmental impact functionality for sustainability professionals.

Emerging players

• Briq: Construction financial operations platform with growing focus on project cost prediction and construction analytics. Tangentially comparable through construction industry data focus, though positioned more on financial than material/circularity metrics.
• PlanRadar: Construction documentation, defect management, and project tracking SaaS for built environment projects. Adjacent in serving a similar construction customer base with project-level data capture and reporting.
• CarbonCure: Canadian concrete decarbonization technology company with carbon data tracking for construction materials. Overlaps with Madaster in carbon data layer for the built environment, though focused on a specific construction material category.
