ReclaimSpec

ReclaimSpec is a web + mobile app that helps architects, contractors, and small manufacturers source reclaimed and surplus building materials with reliable documentation. Users search by material type (steel, timber, brick, glass), dimensions, quantity, location radius, and lead time. Listings include photos, batch/lot details, basic test reports when available, and a “spec-fit” checklist aligned to common procurement requirements (fire rating, structural use, finish, contaminants). The app supports RFQs to multiple yards/salvage sellers at once, escrow-like payment holds, and pickup/delivery coordination. It’s not a feel-good marketplace; it’s built to reduce procurement risk and time, which is why reclaimed materials often lose to virgin options. The MVP focuses on a few metro areas and a narrow set of high-demand materials to keep supply quality high and operations manageable.
