Our Story

BUILT BY A BUILDER.
BUILT WITH A MARKETER.
BUILT FOR YOU.

BuildHub was founded by two people from very different worlds, brought together by a single conviction — that UK builders deserve software that actually fits the way they work.

Why Now

AN INDUSTRY LONG OVERDUE BETTER SOFTWARE.

Construction is one of the least digitised industries in the UK. McKinsey ranks it second-from-bottom on digital adoption — only agriculture sits below it. While retail moved to e-commerce, banking went mobile-first, and even GPs adopted online consultations, the typical British building site still runs on WhatsApp threads, paper variation forms, scattered emails and a notebook in the van.

That gap isn't because builders don't want better tools. It's because the tools they were offered never actually fit the way they work. Enterprise construction software was built for tier-one contractors with twenty staff and a dedicated IT team — priced and designed accordingly. Generic project-management tools (Asana, Monday, Trello) ignore the realities of UK construction completely: variations, RIBA stages, stage payments, certificates, Building Regs sign-off, CIS, the lot.

Meanwhile a generation of skilled UK builders has been running their businesses across half a dozen disconnected apps, losing hours every evening to paperwork that shouldn't take an evening, and accepting it as just how the job is.

It doesn't have to be.

BuildHub exists for that gap. We're a UK platform, built specifically for UK building businesses, designed around how a typical SME builder actually runs a project — quotes, communication, variations, payments, documents, all in one place. Mobile-first because that's where builders work. AI-assisted because the admin chore parts can finally be automated. UK-focused because British construction is its own world and deserves software that knows it.

The Founders

TWO WORLDS. ONE PLATFORM.

BEN WOOZLEY

Co-founder · BuildHub

Owner · Edge Construction

Ben runs Edge Construction, a working UK building company. Like every builder, he was losing evenings to admin that shouldn't take evenings. He'd seen the software available — and seen that none of it was built for the way he actually worked. So instead of accepting it, he set out to fix it.

Ben conceived BuildHub from a builder's perspective, and remains the platform's reality-check. Every feature has to pass his test: would I actually use this at 7am in my van? If it doesn't, it doesn't ship.

RICHARD

Co-founder · BuildHub

Digital, product & marketing

Richard built BuildHub. Coming from a digital marketing background — and with experience designing online platforms for everything from major hospitality brands to medical-device companies — he brought the technical and product side to Ben's vision.

Richard is the one who has to translate "builders need this to work in the van without thinking about it" into actual software. He believes the best digital products come from listening obsessively to the people who'll use them — which is why every feature in BuildHub starts with conversations with working builders, not with assumptions in an office.

What We Stand For

FOUR THINGS WE WON'T COMPROMISE ON.

Builders, Not Bureaucrats

Every feature has to pass a simple test: would a working builder actually use this at 7am in their van? If not, it doesn't ship. We optimise for the hand on the trowel, not the suit in the meeting room.

One Predictable Price

No leads tax. No commission. No per-user fees. You pay a flat monthly subscription and keep every pound you earn from your clients. We make money when builders use BuildHub — not when builders win work.

Mobile-First, Always

Builders work on sites, in vans, in kitchens, in Costas. BuildHub is built for that reality — not for a desk. Every feature works on a phone first. If it doesn't work on a phone, it doesn't work at all.

AI That Helps, Not Hype

AI in BuildHub is there to remove the admin between you and the build. Every output is reviewed by you before it goes out. We're not trying to replace builders with AI. We're trying to give builders their evenings back.
