Track Your Sub-Contractors' Procurement Activity With Accuracy

The Build Chain provides you with data-driven reports to evidence your commitment to ESG targets and framework requirements.

Do you want to ensure that your sub-contractors are utilising local suppliers and procuring sustainably?

Are you looking for a better way to demonstrate you’re meeting the requirements of the frameworks you operate within?

Do you need access to data driven accurate reports that evidence your sub-contractor procurement activities and commitments to ESG targets?

The Build Chain is a digital construction procurement platform that transforms the process of buying materials and hiring equipment for sub-contractors.

Users submit one simple enquiry form for the materials and equipment they require which is instantly delivered to appropriate suppliers. Suppliers submit quotes to the sub-contractor who then compare these in one dashboard.

All data is stored and logged to ensure compliance, governance and to provide data driven insights or reports.

We work with Contractors of all sizes to provide efficient solutions...

We understand the unique set of challenges facing main contractors, from frameworks requesting the utilisation of local sub-contractors, to the need to demonstrate that a project has been completed as sustainably as possible.

Our vision is to offset these challenges by allowing main contractors to utilise The Build Chain to make it easier for your sub-contractors to use local suppliers for their materials and provide accurate reporting on sub-contractor procurement activity.
