1. Education → Industry Trends & Pain Points
Every subcontractor knows the pressure: razor-thin margins, rising material costs, and constant time constraints. You’re expected to deliver more, for less, and do it faster. But how much of your team’s time is actually spent building—and how much is lost chasing quotes, comparing prices, or managing supplier admin?
The reality is, inefficient procurement processes are quietly draining resources from your business every day. Delays, duplication, and limited supplier visibility can cost you more than you think—not just in pounds, but in hours, momentum, and missed opportunities.
That’s exactly why we built the ROI Calculator: to help subcontractors measure the time and money they could be saving with smarter material procurement. It’s not guesswork. It’s your real-world workload, quantified.
2. Features & Benefits → Sustainability + Product Highlights

3. Comparison → The Build Chain vs. Traditional Procurement
Traditionally, procurement is messy: spreadsheets, phone calls, inbox overload, and “who do we know that supplies this?” Every quote takes time. Every delay eats into your margins. And without full visibility, it’s easy to miss better prices—or better suppliers—simply because you didn’t have time to look.
The Build Chain replaces that with clarity, speed, and scale. From one place, you can send an enquiry, get quotes, and choose the best offer—all without the repetitive admin.
Traditional methods don’t just cost more—they prevent growth.
Modern procurement platforms like The Build Chain empower subcontractors to operate leaner, faster, and smarter.
The ROI Calculator captures that contrast and shows you, in pounds and minutes, how much you stand to gain.
4. Social Proof → User Success Stories
Rasico Construction put it to the test—and the results speak for themselves. From just six enquiries, they received 18 quotes. One quote landed in just 4 minutes, with 10 quotes arriving within the first hour.
Here’s what Rachel Jolley, Managing Director, had to say:
“The Build Chain has been a fantastic introduction to our business, saving us substantial amounts of money on many items and equally as important, it’s saved us a substantial amount of time. With industry-wide price increases, every penny counts towards making projects commercially viable.”
That’s real return on investment. And it started with one decision: moving procurement into a smarter, centralised system.
