We built BuildersAI to give directors the tools to take back control of their margins.
Real visibility into where the money is going, and simple enough tools that any tradesperson can use them from day one.
Who we are
William Charlesworth-Jones
William grew up in construction and watched coordination problems eat into every project his family worked on, not through incompetence, but because the tools just weren't good enough. He studied Economics at Bristol, spent years building and selling businesses, and is now bringing that optimisation mindset to the UK construction industry through BuildersAI.
Franziskus Borrmann
Franziskus is a Computer Science graduate with international engineering experience and one of the most capable AI engineers in the industry, specialising in building systems that actually work in the real world, fast, offline-capable, and simple enough for anyone on site to pick up without training.
Every wasted minute on site has a price tag, but most directors have no way of seeing where the money is going until it has already gone.
When a tradesperson walks across site to check a drawing that has already changed, that is fifteen minutes and £5 gone before they have done a single thing. Put a hundred trades on a site and let that happen once a day, and you are quietly losing £500 a day, £130,000 a year, straight off your margin, with nothing to show for it.
This is not bad luck. It is what happens when teams are working from different information, chasing updates by phone, and making decisions based on whatever they happened to hear that morning. 95% of UK construction projects run into delays, and the industry has seen far less of the productivity improvement that has transformed most other sectors, not because people are not working hard, but because the information flow on most sites is still broken.
When we were building BuildersAI, we looked at how the highest-performing construction projects in the world actually operate, and the difference was clear. The best sites run on shared, real-time data rather than guesswork, with every update and decision reaching the right person immediately. The outcome is fewer delays, less rework, and margins that actually reflect the work going in, and that is the standard we are trying to bring to every UK construction site, not just the ones with big IT budgets.
Construction sites across the UK are losing money every day, and most directors have no clear picture of how much or where it is going.
Every site has these leaks, and most directors have no way of seeing them until the damage is already done.
