1. Education → Industry Trends & Pain Points
In the fast-paced world of construction, time and accuracy are everything—especially for subcontractors managing material procurement across multiple jobs. Yet many are still using traditional methods that involve manually contacting suppliers, waiting on quotes, and tracking communication across spreadsheets, email chains, and phone calls.
These outdated approaches aren’t just inefficient—they’re holding your business back. Inconsistent pricing, delays in supplier response, and the time wasted chasing updates can all eat into your profit margins. Worse, they make it difficult to scale. When you’re relying on fragmented tools and manual outreach, you’re already behind before the work starts.
That’s where The Build Chain offers a smarter, faster way forward.

With The Build Chain, subcontractors only need to submit one enquiry to unlock an entire network of trusted suppliers. That single action triggers a smarter process built around speed, accuracy, and control.
✅ Automated Supplier Matching – Your enquiry is instantly routed to the suppliers who match your needs, reducing delays and increasing quote accuracy.
✅ Instant Price Comparison – See quotes side-by-side in a central dashboard, making it easy to choose the best deal.

3. Comparison → The Build Chain vs Traditional Enquiries
Think about how traditional procurement works: multiple calls, disconnected email threads, and inconsistent quote formats. Every manual step increases the risk of error, delay, or missed opportunity.
The Build Chain replaces all of that with one streamlined platform. Instead of reaching out to 5+ suppliers separately, you submit one enquiry and let the platform do the rest. Instead of relying on gut feel or old data, you get live quotes, supplier ESG credentials, and delivery timelines—all in a single view.
Traditional methods create more work with fewer insights. The Build Chain cuts through the noise to give you control.
4. Social Proof → Rasico Construction
Rasico Construction, one of our early adopters, used The Build Chain to completely overhaul their procurement process. By submitting just one enquiry, they saved hours of admin time and received multiple quotes—many at better prices than they’d previously negotiated directly.
Their team now manages procurement for multiple projects using a single dashboard, with fewer delays and stronger visibility across every quote and order.
