Send it however it comes. A photo, a PDF, a forwarded email, a messy spreadsheet — we pull the detail out and file it.
Built for property developers and lenders
Focus on the build.
We’ll handle the admin.
Construction Project Admin, Done for you.
BankBuild does your project admin for you — comparing quotes, checking invoices, chasing the documents your lender needs,
so you take on more projects without more staff.
Excel wasn't built for
property project management.
BankBuild was.
Why we do it, not you
You don’t need another £99 tool. You need the admin done.
Every other tool gives you a tidier place to do the admin — then you fall behind in week two and never log back in. BankBuild does it instead: you forward the paperwork, we sort it, check it and flag what’s wrong.
It runs when you can’t
When site problems pile up, admin is the first thing to slip. We keep it moving when you’re too busy to look.
You only log in to approve
We read it, sort it and check it against your budget. You log in to see it done and sign off what needs you.
With the cost of materials and borrowing both climbing, you can’t build your way back to margin. You have to change the way you work.
What we learned
The problem was never the build. It was the admin behind it.
The assumption
Most developers assume that doubling their pipeline automatically unlocks economies of scale — bulk buying power, stronger trade terms, lower cost per unit.
What actually happens
It doesn’t. Buying materials in bulk looks good on paper, but manual admin scales linearly — every extra project brings nearly 100% more work.
Those supplier discounts vanish the moment orders slip and timelines stretch. Let alone every day of delay adding interest to the cost of borrowing.
The test
So we changed the way we worked on a real project.
To stress-test BankBuild, we ran a development on a deliberately complex site — clay soil, a stream running alongside, restricted access under overhead electricity cables, and piled foundations.
- 14 separate contractors: each appointed after 3–5 comparison quotes.
- Dozens of payments: deposits, phased payments, variations and materials to review and tie back to update the cashflow and drawdown schedule.

From the test to the platform
Wherever the admin piled up, we automated it.
The places the build nearly broke us — pricing the deal, comparing the quotes, keeping the cashflow straight — are the places BankBuild runs for you.
The aim is simple: you step in to approve and decide, not to do the admin.
Acquisition
The broken process
Every site needs its own appraisal built from scratch — last project’s costs re-based for this size and spec, rates adjusted to today’s market, comparables checked. That’s hours per site.
The BankBuild model
Know if the deal stacks up.
Give us the site and the basics. We build the appraisal from your own past projects — re-based for this size, spec and today’s rates — so you can appraise several sites without the admin burying the answer.
Pre-Construction
The broken process
You send the same tender out, and every quote comes back in its own format — different layouts, different assumptions, some missing whole items.
The BankBuild model
Compare quotes like for like.
Send the quotes however they come back. We pull out the numbers, line every trade up like for like, and flag what’s missing or priced oddly — so you’re comparing real prices, not chasing what each one left out.
Delivery
The broken process
Dates move, contractors need re-scheduling, and scope gets changed on a site walk. You make the call there and then — but you don’t see what it did to your budget until the invoice turns up.
The BankBuild model
A live cost-to-complete.
Changes on site walks are captured as you speak — written up and sent to the trade to confirm. If it adds cost, they’re chased for a revised price, and the moment it comes back your cost-to-complete updates.
Scale without the headcount
Don’t let admin be the reason you pass on a deal.
A great site comes up — but you’re at capacity, and taking it on means hiring before you can say yes. So you pass, or you stretch your team too thin. Either way the deal costs you.
BankBuild scales the admin the week you need it, so capacity is never the reason you say no.
Hiring for it
A fixed team stays flat.
Either you pay for staff you don’t always need — or you turn down a project because you can’t staff it.
With BankBuild
Capacity follows your pipeline.
Take on the project the week it lands, and scale back when you’re quiet — without hiring for either.
Some of our partners
The compounding curve
Like a good hire, we get better with time.
We’re not a quick fix, and we’re more than a hire. Like any good hire we take time to find our feet — and the first project takes real input from you. But we don’t leave and we don’t plateau: we get sharper every project, so you can keep taking on more without the admin becoming the ceiling.
Your first project
We learn your business.
We learn how you actually work — your contractors, your facility terms, the way you run a project. Your past costs come in from the start too, however you keep them, so you’re working from real numbers, not a blank page.
Your second, and on
It hits its stride.
Now the system knows your business. A new project loads in a fraction of the time, problems surface on their own, and you can see where everything stands at a glance. The admin runs; you approve.
The long run
Your way of working stays put.
People come and go — BankBuild doesn’t. Your processes, your costs and your contractor history all live in one place, so a leaver doesn’t take how your business runs with them. Every project makes that record stronger.
Coming soon
Next, we’ll answer the phone too.
Calls don’t stop because you’re on site. A trade needing an answer to keep moving, a supplier flagging a delay, a buyer with a question — soon BankBuild will take the call, log it against the project, and tell you the impact before you ring back.
-
Answer
A real conversation.
When you can’t get to the phone, BankBuild’s AI will pick up and actually talk — understanding what the caller needs and answering back, not reading menu options or taking a dumb message.
-
Triage
Urgent gets through.
A trade on site that needs an answer to keep working gets put straight through. Everything else is taken and logged, so nothing’s lost and nothing interrupts you.
-
Assess
It works out the impact.
Where it can, BankBuild checks the call against your project — what a delay does to the programme, or an answer it can give the caller straight from what’s on file.
-
Brief
You get the headline.
Whatever needs you reaches the right person, with the impact already worked out — so you pick up the call back already knowing what it’s about.
Developers and lenders
Whatever the stage. Whatever the size.
We run the admin for developers at every stage — from your first project to running several at once — with no need to change how you already work.
