Quick Answer
BuildersAI is a mobile-first construction site coordination app for UK builders. It puts plans, daily progress photos, tasks, certifications and team announcements on every phone, so site managers and directors know what is happening across their sites without making a single call. 14-day free trial. Every feature. No card.
UK construction sites run on WhatsApp groups, shared SharePoint folders, paper drawings, spreadsheets and email chains. None of these tools talk to each other. Information is scattered, outdated and impossible to find when you need it.
The result is workers building from the wrong revision of a drawing, tasks buried in a chat thread that nobody returns to, certifications expiring because nobody noticed, and HSE or CDM obligations left undocumented. Every one of those gaps is a liability.
When information is fragmented, rework follows. Delays follow. Disputes follow. And the cost of all of it gets absorbed silently into the project, without anyone being able to point to a root cause.
BuildersAI is one app on every phone, iOS and Android, backed by a web dashboard for office-based managers and directors. Every member of the site team, from the site manager to the newest subcontractor, works from the same information.
Plans, daily progress photos, tasks, certifications and team announcements all live in one place. Upload a revised drawing and everyone has it within seconds. Post a site announcement and the whole team sees it, with read receipts. Assign a task to a trade and track its status without picking up the phone.
The app is built on PowerSync, which means it works offline. Basements, tunnels, plant rooms, rural sites with no signal: BuildersAI syncs automatically when connectivity returns. Trades access drawings and records whether or not they have a signal.
On top of core coordination, BuildersAI includes GPS site presence tracking, AI-powered photo search (find any site photo by describing what is in it), and SiteBot, an AI assistant that answers questions about your site’s drawings and documents in plain English, and carries out the work you ask it for (raising a snag, commenting, labelling, attaching a drawing, writing up the diary), all without interrupting the site manager.
The whole stack is built specifically for UK construction. CDM compliance, CSCS records, ICO-registered data handling and UK or EU hosting come as standard, not as an add-on.
Site managers spend a third of their day answering questions that already have an answer somewhere. BuildersAI puts that information on every phone so trades can find it themselves. Fewer interruptions, more time managing the site.
Directors managing multiple sites rarely have a clear picture of what is actually happening on the ground. BuildersAI gives them a live dashboard of progress, photos and issues across every project, without waiting for a weekly update call.
Subcontractors need the right drawing on their phone before they start work, not a version from three weeks ago sent over WhatsApp. BuildersAI means the current plan is always one tap away, offline or not.
BuildersAI is built for builders by people working directly with UK construction teams, and is backed by SETsquared Bristol, one of the UK’s leading technology accelerators. It is not US-origin software retrofitted for the UK market.
Mobile-first, works offline. Most construction software is designed for an office desktop. BuildersAI is designed for a site phone in a gloved hand with no signal. The app is simple enough to use without any training.
Per-user pricing, not per-site. Many platforms charge per project, which creates perverse incentives to limit access. BuildersAI charges per user, so everyone on the site gets access and costs stay predictable.
UK-specific by design. UK GDPR, CDM regulations, ICO registration and UK data hosting are built in. The terminology, the compliance workflows and the support team are all UK construction.

BuildersAI is a construction site coordination platform built specifically for UK builders and construction teams. It replaces scattered WhatsApp groups and paper-based processes with one organised system for plans, photos, tasks, certifications and team communication. Available as a mobile app on iOS and Android, and as a web dashboard.
BuildersAI is designed for UK construction teams: site managers who spend too much time answering repeated questions, directors and owners who want visibility across multiple sites without weekly update calls, and subcontractors and trades who need the current drawing on their phone without calling the site office.
Poor communication on UK construction sites costs over £45,000 per dispute and more than an hour per trade per day. Most of this waste comes from information scattered across WhatsApp groups, phone calls and paper. BuildersAI centralises all site information in one place so every trade works from the same current information, reducing rework, delays and disputes.
Site managers upload plans, documents and photos. Trades access everything from their phones. An AI assistant, SiteBot, answers questions about drawings and site records instantly, citing its sources, and carries out the work asked of it, reading every change back before it writes. Directors see a live dashboard with progress and issues across all their sites. The app works offline and syncs automatically when signal returns.
BuildersAI is built specifically for UK construction, not US-origin software adapted for the UK market. It works offline, which is critical for basements, tunnels and rural sites. It is simple enough for any tradesperson to use from day one without formal training. The AI cites its sources rather than guessing. All data is stored in the UK or EU in compliance with GDPR and the UK’s ICO requirements.
