Focus on the build.
We’ll run the numbers.

We handle the paperwork, check the costs and investigate what’s eating into your profit. Your project record stays current, your drawdown pack gets built, and the decisions that need you come with the evidence.

Let’s talk

Where the project stands, today.

Plan against actual on every line, updated as invoices land. Your drawdown pack is built from the same numbers.

BankBuild cost overview for 18 Alderfield Road in a browser: signed-off budget £1,250,000, current forecast £1,263,400, 1.1% over budget, with the structure line £13,400 and 6% over in red; the cost plan by category with how much of each line has been drawn; and the October drawdown of £121,790, three invoices from this cost plan, reconciled and ready to review.

Stop losing margin.

Small costs add up while you’re busy keeping the build moving. We analyse your quotes, invoices and site updates to show what each change costs, what caused it and what you can do about it.

Margin impact for 18 Alderfield Road: £23.9k in extra costs, 9.6% of the original profit. A waterfall from the original profit of £250,000 down through frame extras under query, a steel premium from a late order and three weeks of delay costs, to a forecast profit of £226,100, 14.1% margin.

You need the admin done, not another tool.

Forward invoices, quotes and certificates by email or WhatsApp as they arrive. Your contractors can send them straight to us too.

We file each document to its line in your cost plan, check it against the contract and chase anything missing. You see what’s outstanding and who has it.

When the drawdown’s due, you get the pack in your lender’s format, every figure backed by its document. You check it and approve it. We send it to the surveyor.

BankBuild, add project documents: sync Gmail, Microsoft 365, Google Drive or SharePoint, forward an email to the project address, or send on WhatsApp.

Progress updates, quote chasing, questions. Sorted.

From site walk to follow-up.

Talk as you walk the site. We turn the recording into site notes and draft the emails that need sending: a revised quote, a yes or no on what’s included. You check and send.

We do the chasing.

Quotes that don’t come back, certificates nobody sends, variations nobody signs. We ask, we ask again, and you see the trail. You only hear about it when it needs you.

The Chasing list for 18 Alderfield Road in a browser: BankBuild is following up on three outstanding items. A roofing quote requested 30 September and chased 2 and 6 October, an electrical first-fix certificate on its second follow-up, and a roof lantern variation where the supplier queried the revised price, marked needs you.

Ask your project.

Every quote, invoice and certificate is on one record, so the project can answer for itself. Ask what you’d otherwise ring someone for; the answer comes from your own paperwork.

Ask BankBuild on the 18 Alderfield Road overview: the question typed, have we got everything we need for the next drawdown, with 24 project documents attached and the folders beneath: quotes and contracts, invoices, site evidence.

One delay moves everything behind it.

The roof goes on three weeks late and everything behind it moves: the trades, the completion date, the next drawdown. In this example a late month costs about £15,000 in finance and site costs, so three weeks takes £10,500 off the margin.

We connect programme changes to the costs and paperwork they affect, so you can see what needs attention.

Built on live projects.
Backed by analytical experience.

BankBuild was built alongside live developments, from the admin that goes wrong on a real build: paperwork passed between developer, contractor, surveyor and lender, chased by hand and paid for in delay.

Questions developers ask.

What do you need from me?
Forward invoices, quotes, certificates and site photos to one address as they arrive, or connect your email. We file them against the cost plan and chase whatever is missing.
Do my contractors have to use it?
No. They send what they already send, invoices, quotes and photos, to one address. Nothing changes for them.
Do you replace my monitoring surveyor?
No. We prepare the pack and the evidence behind it. Your monitoring surveyor still inspects, values and certifies, and the lender releases the money on their certificate.
Who sees my project information?
You, anyone you invite, and BankBuild to do the work. Your lender and monitoring surveyor see the packs and evidence you share with them for each drawdown. Your documents are stored in the UK. Security
Can we start mid-build?
Yes. Send what you have for the next drawdown and we build that pack first. The rest of the record fills in behind it.

Hand over the admin. Keep the decisions.

Tell us where your build is up to. We’ll show you what we’d take off your plate, from the cost plan to the drawdown pack.

BankBuild does the admin on UK property developments as a service. It runs the whole admin layer of a development business — building appraisals, comparing tender quotes like for like, tracking budgets, programmes and variations, chasing documents, checking invoices against contracts, and assembling the drawdown packs lenders and monitoring surveyors need — so developers take on more projects without taking on more staff. The developer approves; BankBuild does the work. Built by a developer who first ran a live £1.2m project on it end to end. Recognised RICS Tech Partner. Headquartered in the UK.

A UK development facility is drawn down in stages as the build progresses. Each drawdown, the lender’s monitoring surveyor checks the work claimed against the costs and certifies what can be released; the developer must assemble the evidence — the application, invoices, certificates and progress photos. Delays in that admin carry a real cost: development finance typically runs 8–12% of the gross loan, so idle drawn capital costs hundreds of pounds a day on a mid-size facility. BankBuild assembles the pack, chases what’s missing and keeps the record lender-ready, which is how developers scale their pipeline without scaling headcount.
