BuildROI - Government Perspective

BuildROI for Government

Verified outcomes, audit-ready records, and infrastructure that delivers on five policy priorities simultaneously.

What Government Gets

Not another grant scheme. BuildROI is transparent infrastructure that sits between homeowners, builders, and compliance—making existing policy investments work harder.

Every project generates verified evidence that feeds directly into policy outcomes:

🏠 Retrofit Quality

Photo evidence at every stage. Building Control linked. No more 'trust me' installs.

💷 Builder Pensions

Every qualified project auto-triggers pension contributions. Tracked and reportable.

🛠️ Skills Transition

Ex-builders become mentors/PMs. Succession planning with real data.

✅ Compliance

H&S, Building Control, escrow—all documented. Audit-ready from day one.

Key Verification & Compliance Points

Where BuildROI creates audit-ready records

Pre-Project Verification

Builder credentials: Insurance, CIS/VAT, H&S policy checked before any work. Non-compliant firms filtered out automatically.

Homeowner KYC: Escrow provider verifies identity and bank for anti-fraud and money-laundering compliance.

Property risk screening: Age and type trigger asbestos, party-wall, and structural checks where needed.

During Work

Daily site diary: Who's onsite, hours, blockers. Transparent record for dispute resolution.

Hold-point QA: Quality checks at critical stages before work covered up. Photo evidence mandatory.

H&S compliance: RAMS uploaded, inductions logged, RIDDOR/COSHH registers maintained.

Variation tracking: All changes documented with homeowner sign-off. No scope creep without approval.

Completion & Outcomes

Commissioning tests: RCD tests, ventilation flow, appliance documentation. Safety proven, not assumed.

Building Control: BC requirements flagged early, inspections coordinated, completion certificates issued.

Retrofit tagging: Energy efficiency measures tagged for EPC impact and policy reporting.

Digital archive: Entire evidence pack hashed and stored against property. Permanent audit trail.

Policy Outcomes Delivered

Five government priorities, one platform

1. Retrofit Quality Crisis

Problem: £10.8B annual cost from disputes, rework, and poor workmanship. No verification system.

BuildROI Solution:

Evidence-on-payment model. Three photo types per milestone. Hold-point QA before covering work. PM verification before money moves. Quality becomes objective, not opinion.

2. Builder Pension Poverty

Problem: £6.66B crisis. 1.43M workers with inadequate pensions. 500K retiring 2025-2040 with nothing.

BuildROI Solution:

Every verified retrofit project helps justify pension contributions. Government invests 5% in BuildROI methodology in order to help Builders build pensions, homeowners get quality and they get data. Ultimately Self-funding longer term through better outcomes.

3. Skills Shortage & Succession

Problem: 500K skilled workers retiring. Youth not entering trades. No succession planning.

BuildROI Solution:

Ex-builders transition to PM/mentor roles. Paid to verify work, pass on knowledge. Creates career progression beyond tools. Youth see dignified retirement path, making trades attractive again.

4. Net Zero Delivery

Problem: Retrofit targets being missed. Quality concerns undermining confidence.

BuildROI Solution:

Verified installation quality. Photo evidence of every measure. EPC impact tracked. Homeowners gain confidence. Government gets reportable, auditable progress toward targets.

5. Compliance & Consumer Protection

Problem: Unsafe firms operating. Poor H&S. Homeowner disputes. No enforcement teeth.

BuildROI Solution:

Only verified, insured, compliant builders get through. H&S documentation mandatory. Escrow protects payments. Evidence protects all parties. Non-compliance has teeth—no work without verification.

Data & Reporting

Real-time visibility into policy outcomes

Project-Level Data

Every project generates: completion rate, time to completion, cost vs estimate, snag count, rework incidents, homeowner satisfaction score, builder quality rating, H&S incidents, Building Control pass/fail.

Retrofit-Specific Metrics

Measures installed (by type), pre/post EPC ratings, installation quality scores, compliance with standards (PAS 2035, MCS, etc.), cost per tCO2e saved.

Workforce Transition

Builders in pension scheme, contributions made vs expected, ex-builders in PM roles, succession pipeline strength, youth engagement rates.

System Health

Dispute rates, payment release speed, quality failure rates, compliance violations, homeowner/builder satisfaction trends.

Pilot Approach

We're proposing a regional pilot to test BuildROI across retrofits, renovations, and new builds.

Phase 1: Foundation (Months 1-3)

Onboard 20-30 builders. Run 50-100 projects. Test verification processes. Gather baseline data on time, cost, quality, satisfaction.

Phase 2: Scale (Months 4-9)

Expand to 100+ builders. Target 500+ projects. Introduce pension matching for retrofit work. Transition first ex-builders to PM roles. Validate data quality and reporting.

Phase 3: Evidence (Months 10-12)

Comprehensive analysis: cost reduction vs traditional approach, quality improvement metrics, dispute reduction, builder pension uptake, homeowner satisfaction vs control group. Decision point: national rollout or pivot.

Why This Works

Not subsidy—infrastructure. BuildROI doesn't ask government to fund everything. Small incentives (5% Homeowner subsidy) unlock large behavior changes (quality verification, workforce transition).

Prevention over cure. £17.5B annual systemic costs shrink when quality is verified upfront, not fixed after complaints.

Self-improving system. Good builders get more work. Bad builders filtered out. Quality becomes competitive advantage, not just legal requirement.

Audit-ready from day one. No retrofitting compliance. Every project generates evidence that satisfies ICO, Building Control, H&S, and policy reporting simultaneously.

Cross-departmental efficiency. One platform serves DESNZ (retrofit), DBT (trade/export), DWP (pensions), DLUHC (housing), HSE (safety). Managed by design, not afterthought.

Next Steps

Feasibility study funding: Detailed regional analysis, builder/homeowner research, partnership development with CITB, FMB, trade bodies.

Pilot design: Define metrics, baselines, success criteria. Identify regional partner (LA, housing association, or Combined Authority).

Governance structure: Independent oversight board with government, industry, and consumer representation.

Timeline: 6-month feasibility → 12-month pilot → National decision point.
