BuildwellAI, a new compliance intelligence platform for the UK construction industry, announced its launch.
The company will serve contractors, inspectors and building owners, including providing documentation, inspection and verification. The company’s launch comes amid the phased rollout of the UK’s Building Safety Act, which contains record-keeping regulatory and commercial liability across a structure’s full lifecycle.
The company is led by founder and CEO Ben Smallwood, who is partially self-funding the business with investment from The LBB Group. Smallwood has more than a decade of experience in construction risk, management, building control and major projects warranty provisions.
“Construction runs on trust, but day-to-day, it still runs on paperwork, spreadsheets and gut feel,” Smallwood said in a statement. “Too many problems only surface once they have become expensive to fix, and under the Building Safety Act, the liability now follows you for the life of the building. We built BuildwellAI to change that. By connecting documentation, inspection and verification in one place, teams can prove what was built, how it was checked and why it complies while the work is still happening, not years later.”
