Suppliers & Manufacturers
Get specified on live projects — before the contractor locks in a supplier.
We use live planning data to find construction projects where your product can still be specified, identify the architects and contractors making the decisions, and book you the CPD and specification meetings that win the work.
The problem
Your products are right for the project — but you're not in the room.
Relying on referrals for new business
Referrals are great until they dry up. You have no control over volume, timing, or the types of projects that come through.
Hearing about projects too late
By the time you find a project, the specification is already written and the preferred supplier list is closed.
Trade shows that burn budget
You spend £10k+ on a stand, talk to hundreds of people, and walk away with a handful of business cards that go cold within a week.
Your BDMs are prospecting, not selling
Your best salespeople are buried in research and cold outreach when they should be in specification meetings and closing deals.
How it works
From planning application to specification meeting — in weeks, not months.
Live project detection
We monitor planning applications, tender notices, and project data feeds across the UK to find projects where your product can still be specified — at the right stage, in the right region.
Decision-maker mapping
We identify the architects, specifiers, main contractors, and project managers involved in each opportunity — with verified contact details, not guesswork from a purchased list.
Multi-channel outreach
Coordinated campaigns across email, LinkedIn, and phone — personalised to the project, the decision-maker's role, and the stage the project has reached.
Specification & CPD meetings booked
We book meetings that meet your criteria. CPD presentations with architects, specification discussions with contractors, PSL introductions with procurement — you show up and sell.

Who we work with
If you manufacture or supply it, we can get it specified.
We work with product manufacturers, specialist suppliers, and installers across the built environment — from windows and cladding to renewables and MEP systems.
What you get
Specification meetings, not cold leads.
CPD & specification meetings
Get your product in front of architects and specifiers through targeted CPD outreach. We handle scheduling, confirmation, and follow-up so your technical team just presents.
Qualified sales meetings
Face-to-face or online meetings with contractors, developers, and procurement teams who are working on projects that match your product range.
Tender & pricing opportunities
We identify live tenders in your sectors and regions and connect you to the buying team before the field closes — so you're quoting, not chasing.
PSL introductions
We get your Pre-Qualification Questionnaire in front of the right procurement teams and start the preferred supplier list application — the meeting that opens the door to repeat business.

FAQ
Questions product suppliers ask us.
We've tried telemarketing before — leads were poor quality.
Traditional agencies dial from a list and hope someone picks up. We start from live planning data and verified decision-maker contacts, so every conversation is relevant to a real project happening now. You define what 'qualified' means — we don't book meetings that don't meet your criteria.
Can you book CPD presentations with architectural practices?
Yes — that's one of our core deliverables. We identify architects working on projects where your product is relevant, reach out with a tailored CPD offer, and book the presentation slot. You bring the content, we fill the room.
We already have Barbour ABI / Glenigan data. How is this different?
Those platforms give you the data. We give you the meetings. We can layer outreach on top of your existing project intelligence, or source our own. Either way, we handle the multi-channel outreach so your data actually converts into specification opportunities.
Construction is a small world — we need to protect our brand.
Every message is approved by you before it goes out. We act as an extension of your sales team, not a call centre. Your prospects will think they're hearing from your BDM — because effectively they are.
What does it cost?
We price per qualified meeting, not per day or per hour. That means you pay for specification meetings that actually happen, not activity that might lead somewhere. Book a pipeline audit and we'll give you a transparent quote based on your product range, target regions, and volume.
How quickly do we see results?
Most campaigns generate the first booked meetings within 2–3 weeks. We spend the first week building your prospect list from live project data and setting up the outreach sequences. By week two, conversations are happening.
Stop waiting for referrals.
