Our Take

Appeals

• UK niche focuss: Many competitors offer general, mostly US trade focused solutions whereas BuiltPro provide a complete quoting solution tailored to the real workflows and regulations of British trades. Being specific to the niche of UK regulation will provide BuiltPro with a solid fanbase to scale.

• Integrated customer financing: Removing cash flow barriers to increase quote acceptance for builders is new to the market. Adding financed transactions as another stream to BuiltPro’s revenue model. Providing 3-5% commission per transaction and huge customer ROI.

Risks

• Adoption risk: Mass adoption from UK builders might be challenging as a result of the non-tech focussed target market. By embedding into UK trades market the product needs to deliver clear returns quickly to spread effectively through word of mouth.

• Technical risk: Similar to the above, BuiltPro plan to become the UK's construction data backbone. Ensuring the teams AI delivers consistent accuracy across all project types and services is crucial to grow.
