Procurement intelligence, built for UK construction

SmartBuild AI Ltd is a construction technology (ConTech) company on a mission to replace fragmented, manual procurement with a single, intelligent platform.

Our mission

Faster, more accurate procurement decisions

Construction SMEs, contractors, architects, property developers and quantity surveyors still rely on spreadsheets and disconnected supplier databases to estimate materials and compare prices. That leads to inaccurate budgets, procurement delays, material waste and lower project profitability.

SmartBuild AI brings AI-driven Bill of Materials generation, real-time supplier intelligence, predictive cost forecasting and carbon footprint analysis into one cloud-based platform — so procurement decisions can be made in minutes, with sustainability built in rather than bolted on.

SME-first

Priced and designed for construction SMEs and contractors, not just large enterprises.

Sustainability by default

Carbon impact is part of every recommendation, supporting the UK's net-zero construction goals.

Speed over spreadsheets

Automating the manual, repetitive parts of procurement so teams can focus on decisions.

UK-built, UK-focused

Built around UK supplier networks, regulation and construction industry practice, expanding carefully from there.

The opportunity

UK construction remains a major, growing part of the economy — and procurement is one of its least digitised functions.
