Neil Sheldon

Founder & CEO, The Build Chain

At The Build Chain, we understand the challenges main contractors face in sourcing and managing subcontractors and materials efficiently. Procurement delays, compliance checks, and manual processes slow down projects and increase costs. That’s why we’ve built a smarter, digital-first platform to streamline your supply chain and eliminate inefficiencies.

We're proud to provide a solution that connects main contractors with pre-qualified subcontractors and trusted suppliers, ensuring transparency, speed, and compliance in every project. By automating tenders, tracking ESG impact, and simplifying procurement, we're helping the industry move forward with data-driven, modern solutions.

Our commitment is to continuously adapt and innovate, working alongside contractors and subcontractors to ensure The Build Chain remains the most effective platform for digital procurement and supply chain management in construction.
