Hello and welcome to the 246 new wanderers who are joining the 18,488 original Material Depot readers in the 3rd week of our August newsletter. How was your Independence Day weekend? Did you get your much-needed break?
In our endeavors to get more young professionals to use Material Depot for their daily design life, we realized something. Our design education barely touches budgeting as a topic. How often have you budgeted a project accurately in your school? It’s alarming that market prices always take an inordinate amount of time to gather when we enter professional lives and there’s always this doubt whether the price is right?
We have recently launched a feature that helps studios to procure products right through the Material Depot app. With Material Depot Assisted Buying we receive orders from architecture studios and get you the best deals by keeping Material Depot app as the central experience. No middlemen, no hassle – just pin your materials, input quantities, and get your estimates then and there!

Is Europe’s largest infrastructure project worth it?
There aren’t many greater construction projects than High Speed 2. (HS2). A brand-new, ultra-rapid railway is being constructed right in the center of Britain, promising economic growth, low-carbon travel, increased capacity, and some of the world’s swiftest trains. But creating it is not at all simple. The project has encountered delays, adversity, and budget overruns multiple times.
