Climate data engineers can actually use, delivered in 24 hours.
Public climate datasets don’t directly translate to engineering decisions.
Your team wastes days fighting with climate data. Meanwhile, the actual design work waits - and you're still not sure the data are defensible.
The BuildForward™ Solution.
Engineering-grade climate data, delivered in 24 hours.
BuildForward™ is a rapid delivery service designed to answer one question: What future do I need to design for?
In 24 hours, we deliver a report with design-ready parameters for your project location.
What You Get.
- Understanding of how climate has already changed for your project location and where it's headed.
- Clarity on how existing design parameters may shift over this century.
- Local context on secondary hazards like hail, wildfire, subsidence, and flooding.

Need More Than Design Values?
How is this different from downloading CMIP6 myself?
Public climate datasets (like CMIP6) provide raw model outputs, not engineering design values.To use them for infrastructure design, you'd need to:
- Download and process massive datasets (often terabytes)
- Select appropriate models and scenarios
- Calibrate outputs to local weather station observations
- Compute engineering-specific statistics (return periods, design temperatures, etc.)
Even with climate expertise, this takes weeks to months per location.
BuildForward delivers calibrated, design-ready values in 24 hours—already processed, validated, and documented for technical review.
Why should I trust your data?
Peer-reviewed methodology, 15+ years applying climate data, including at WSP, Arup, and NOAA. All projections calibrated to quality-controlled weather station observations.
Every report includes full methodology documentation, data provenance, and explicit uncertainty. When technical reviewers ask questions, you have defensible answers.
What is included in the report?
Each BuildForward report covers: Basic information on local climate and natural hazards - Context on your site's climate characteristics and relevant hazards.
Observed trends in local climate - Historical changes at your location based on weather station records.
Design values in current and future climates - Temperature extremes, wind speeds, precipitation intensities with specified return periods for baseline and future periods.
Methodology documentation - Data sources, bias correction approach, and statistical methods explained for technical review.
Data provenance - Complete documentation of climate models, scenarios, and weather stations used.
Reports are delivered as PDF, typically 15-25 pages.
Design values are delivered in Excel files. Technical support available if reviewers have questions.
What regions do you cover?
We cover all global regions. Our dataset includes over 50,000 weather stations worldwide.
If your project site isn't directly at a weather station, we use nearby stations to generate calibrated projections for your exact coordinates.
What if I have multiple sites?
