Are you still procuring materials in the old way?

The Build Chain is the better way to buy materials.


The Build Chain enables you to:

  • Submit enquiries to existing & new suppliers in seconds
  • Compare pricing in one simple dashboard
  • Select suppliers close to your site with ease
  • Accurately report on procurement activity


Do you want to ensure that you’re receiving the best prices for materials and equipment?

Do you want to reduce the time you spend trying to find materials and equipment for your projects?

Do you need to prove you’re considering sustainable procurement?

Traditionally, the procurement of construction materials has involved time consuming searches to find suitable suppliers, lots of phone calls to chase up quotes, and complex price comparison spreadsheets.

The Build Chain transforms the process of buying materials by removing the need for manual, repetitive tasks, simplifying price benchmarking exercises, and making it easy to find new suppliers.

Gone are the days of manually contacting suppliers individually and waiting for a response – with The Build Chain, you submit one simple enquiry form to connect instantly with your existing and new suppliers local to your site.

Quotes are delivered directly to your dashboard, where you can easily compare based on stock, price, and location, before buying direct from your suppliers of choice.
