Is BuildBeacon a construction lead database?
It uses planning and tender data, but the product job is automated business development: match, prioritize, and produce an outreach-ready pipeline — not just list notices.
Business development, not another portal login
Traditional construction databases sell access to planning notices and tenders. Useful as raw material — but a business owner still has to decide what fits, who is buying the package, and who to call first. That research is the real BD work, and it is what eats evenings after site.
BuildBeacon is built as construction business development software: it scans live UK planning applications and public tenders, scores them against your trade and region, identifies contractors already active on those schemes, and ranks outreach so you spend minutes deciding — not hours filtering.
The outcome is a construction sales pipeline you can act on weekly: projects worth chasing, contractors worth calling, and a clear next action on each row. That is the difference between “alerts” and automated business development.
Who it is for
Specialist and multi-trade subcontractors with roughly 5–100 people — roofing, groundworks, fire protection, M&E, cladding, steelwork, drylining, and general building — who already win work through relationships and need a system that keeps the pipeline full when the owner is on site.
If you already buy Glenigan-class research tools, BuildBeacon is not trying to replace every enterprise report. It is trying to automate the weekly BD routine: what is new, who matches, who to contact next.
What you get every week
An automatically refreshed view of live opportunities, matched main contractors, and prioritized outreach. Open planning and tenders where your package is likely. Contractor targeting based on trade fit and activity. Suggested actions so the list does not die in a spreadsheet.
Start with a free pipeline scan from your company website. If the preview shows work you would actually chase, subscribe from £49.99/month and keep the outreach pipeline running.
