Designed to sit alongside professional procurement rather than replace it.
Better-fit contractor interest
Project value, location, scope and programme information help companies decide whether an opportunity is commercially suitable before requesting an introduction.
Support transparent procurement
Use BuildConnect alongside your own tender list, prequalification checks and commercial evaluation rather than relying on generic lead generation.
Useful project-preparation tools
Clients and professionals can use free brief, budget, quotation-comparison and contractor-prequalification tools before appointment.
Typical opportunities
- Competitive tendering support
- Refurbishment and fit-out
- Residential extensions and alterations
- Planned maintenance programmes
- Cost-managed contractor procurement
- Specialist trade package sourcing
Professional status is kept separate from marketplace promotion.
Quantity surveyors can provide relevant professional membership or practice information where applicable. BuildConnect records verified facts without presenting membership as an endorsement of the marketplace.
BuildConnect UK is independent and does not claim endorsement by ARB, RICS or any other professional body.
Use BuildConnect when your client needs additional contractor interest.
Prepare the scope
Use drawings, surveys, specifications, value, programme and project constraints to give contractors a clearer basis for deciding whether the opportunity fits.
Keep the client in control
The client or authorised representative controls publication and decides which contractor introductions are approved.
Supplement your tender list
BuildConnect can provide another route to contractor interest without replacing professional procurement, evaluation or appointment responsibilities.
Can a QS use BuildConnect alongside a formal tender?
Yes. BuildConnect can supplement contractor discovery while the QS retains control of tender documentation, bid analysis, clarifications and commercial recommendations.
Are contractor prices compared automatically?
No. BuildConnect can support introductions and project preparation, but the QS and client remain responsible for evaluating scope, exclusions, qualifications and commercial terms.
Is there exclusivity for professional firms?
No. The Founding Professional launch is non-exclusive and can sit alongside existing frameworks, tender lists and procurement relationships.
Join before the founding launch closes.
Approved launch members can secure early professional visibility, use the controlled referral route and participate in the professional network while it is being established. Once launch onboarding closes, new applications move to the standard professional route.
