Construction loses a week to insolvency. We help keep yours off the list.

2p back in every £1 you invoice is worth

Our target on the AI Partnership

2p back in every £1

The construction industry, 2026

Thin margins, and the slowest to use AI.

The UK’s top 100 contractors keep just over 3p of every £1. So 2p more is a big share of the profit.

AI specialists for the construction industry

We understand the problem, build the AI and train your team.

Everything is built around the way your business already works.

  1. 1

    Understand your business

    We look at where the time, money and effort are going.

  2. 2

    Build the fix

    We build around the systems you already use and the work that takes the most time.

  3. 3

    Train your team

    Your team learns how to use it properly, so the new way of working sticks.

  4. Keep more profit

    Less time lost. More time spent on what moves the business forward.

Which of these sounds like you?

  • AI Self-Assessment

    “We know AI could help. We just don’t know where to start.”

    Fix everything at once and nothing gets finished. Answer a few questions and get your three priorities.

  • ROI Calculator

    “We’re not sure AI would save us enough to matter.”

    Put in your own numbers and see what valuations, tenders and chasing cost you a year, and the time you could get back.

  • Feasibility Study

    “We know what we want to fix. We don’t know if it will actually pay off.”

    Before you build anything, we map the process, what needs to change, what it costs and what it could pay back.

  • Training

    “Our team are already using AI, but everyone’s doing their own thing.”

    Client information ends up in tools nobody approved. Training gives your team clear rules and practical uses for AI in their roles.

  • Custom-Built Systems

    “We know what needs fixing. We just don’t have the time to build it.”

    We build around the way you already work, so repetitive work gets handled without another project to manage.

  • AI Partnership

    “We know we need to do more with AI. We’ve got nobody to own it.”

    Without an owner, good ideas stall. As your AI Team, each month we decide what matters next, build it and make sure it gets used.

Kristian Brown on site Kristian BrownCo-founder, Built Logic

“I started Built Logic because of what AI did for my own construction business. More than 80 people, busy, and still times when wages felt tight. With AI in, I had the team not wasting time and focusing on what enabled us to grow.”

“A busy business and a healthy business are not the same thing.”

Right for you if

  • Your business is a contractor, housebuilder or developer, a QS, surveying or project management practice, or a merchant, manufacturer or hire company.
  • You’d rather fix how the work gets done than hire your way out of it.
  • You want to see the numbers before anything gets built.

Probably not for you if

  • You can’t spare a few hours with the people who do the work.
  • You want software dropped in without changing how the work gets done.
  • You’re not willing to look honestly at where the time and money go.

Built around the tools your team already uses.

  1. Where it started

    Labourer, carpenter, then project manager

    Over 15 years in the industry, so he understands how things work.

  2. Then

    Ran his own construction company, 80+ staff

    Turnover grew, but so did the admin, the headaches, the chasing and the late payments. It’s not an easy industry.

  3. Now

    Co-founder of Built Logic

    Started Built Logic and is now on a mission to help the construction industry make more profit and stop being the victim of insolvency.

  1. Where she started

    Built her career in sales

    Several sales roles, estate agency among them, so she knows what clients will pay for and what makes a deal fall through.

  2. Then

    Property developer with a focus on acquisition

    Found the sites, negotiated the deals and helped raise the money to build them, so every scheme had to stack up.

  3. Now

    Co-founder of Built Logic

    Co-founded Built Logic and is now on a mission to train construction teams to use AI properly, on their own work, so it actually sticks.
