The Plan

Very few people build for fun.

They build because they have to — something broke, something aged, something in life changed. What begins in hope too often ends in stress.

Builders want to get it right. Homeowners want to feel secure.

But with so many moving parts and no one truly coordinating them, it's no surprise things go wrong.

They're usually put right — or close enough. But rarely as good as hoped.

1. The Problem (who's affected)

Homeowners want security. Builders want to get it right. And government invests billions hoping both happen.

But with no one coordinating the moving parts, outcomes fall short — not from lack of effort, but lack of structure.

BuildROI doesn't take sides. We provide the infrastructure all three need.

2. The Scale (what's at stake)

A systemic problem needs a transparent solution

We estimate £17.5 billion in annual systemic costs across UK construction:

• £10.8B Quality Crisis: Disputes, rework, poor workmanship, and no verification system
• £6.66B Pension Crisis: 1.43M workers with inadequate pensions, 500K retiring with no succession plan, welfare costs starting 2026

We're not asking government to fund all of this. We're building a transparent system that exposes where money is being lost — and prevents it through smarter escrow, verification, and workforce transition processes that pay for themselves.

3. The Approach (what we're proposing)

A practical pilot — a national opportunity

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

If it works, it will show that small incentives and trusted processes can tackle five of the UK's thorniest challenges:

• 🧊 Cold homes wasting energy and money
• 💸 Builders retiring into pension poverty
• 🧨 Retrofit projects failing quality checks
• 🛠️ A growing construction skills shortage
• 🔁 Youth disengagement from the trades

This isn't about subsidy. It's about understanding the paths homeowners and builders already walk — and strengthening the foundations beneath them.
