Designed to sit alongside professional procurement rather than replace it.
Project information stays structured
Share scope, drawings, constraints, location, value and programme so contractors can assess whether the work matches their capability before an introduction.
Use alongside existing procurement
BuildConnect can supplement an engineer's or client's existing tender list without replacing formal procurement, design responsibility or appointment procedures.
Reach experienced construction companies
Contractors can present company identity, service areas, relevant experience and capability evidence before a client decides who to engage.
Typical opportunities
- Structural alterations and steelwork
- Rear and side extensions
- Loft and roof alterations
- Temporary works-led packages
- Refurbishment involving structural changes
- Remedial structural works
Professional information is recorded without implying endorsement.
Structural engineers can provide relevant professional-body or practice information where applicable. BuildConnect records supported information factually and does not imply endorsement by any professional institution.
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.
Does BuildConnect replace the engineer's contractor-selection process?
No. It provides an additional route to relevant contractor interest. The client and professional team remain responsible for tendering, due diligence, appointment and technical decisions.
Can drawings or calculations be shared privately?
Project documents can be controlled through the platform workflow rather than being published as unrestricted public contact information.
Does referring a project make the engineer responsible for a contractor?
No. A referral to the marketplace does not itself endorse or appoint a contractor. Appointment decisions remain with the client and their professional advisers.
