One of the most important issues from the design of a project to the delivery process is to easily access, identify, find substitutes, compare and supply the necessary materials, products and/or services at the right time, at the right price and in the right quality. For this, it is necessary to have information about materials, products and/or services in the world markets as well as current trends. In the Asantepark material, product and service library, there is information about many services, including technical, usage-oriented, certification, origin and prices, in addition to materials and products that can be used in the construction sector. In today's projects and products, complex processes are seen where a large number of materials and even production methods are brought together. Failure to correctly select materials such as their technical features, dimensions, suitability for the conditions in their location, etc. can cause time, labor and financial losses in projects. Material selection is also a problem-solving task. The main steps related to the subject can be listed as problem analysis and development of alternative solutions. In the selection of materials, products or services, factors such as compliance with the needs and expectations of the buyers, features that provide competitive power and offering them at a competitive price, reliability, on-time delivery, production of the product in accordance with the technical specifications, documents and standards specified during the design, durability, service facilities, and aesthetics are effective. In addition, Materials and Products can be evaluated under six headings: Mechanical strength and stability; safety in case of fire; hygiene, health and environment; safety of use; protection against noise, energy saving and heat preservation. Therefore, access to correct information is the key to making the right decision.
