Construo: Scaling the World’s First Global Collaborative Platform & Marketplace for the $12.1 Trillion Construction Industry
Live Global Platform | Revenue-Generating | Demonstrable Traction
First-mover advantage in a $12.1 trillion global industry
Experienced, sector-led management team with a proven ability to execute
Construo is building and scaling the world’s first dedicated collaborative network and marketplace for the global construction industry, addressing long-standing fragmentation across knowledge, recruitment, products, services, and supply chains.
The platform is live, revenue-generating, and scaling organically, with strong evidence of product–market fit across multiple international markets. Construo combines a professional network, a peer-driven smartphone recruitment referral engine, and an emerging marketplace into a single, industry-specific ecosystem, something no other existing platform offers at scale.
Proven Traction & Momentum
Construo is already demonstrating measurable, capital-efficient growth:
- 98,000 monthly active users, representing a 130% increase in the last quarter alone
- Strong organic growth across key global markets, achieved with zero paid advertising
- 2.7 million Google search impressions, evidencing increasing brand authority and inbound demand
- £100k+ revenue in first year recruitment pilot, on track for £490k in the next 12 months
- Construo Marketplace pilot launching Q3 2026 with a nationwide UK supplier
- Recently featured in leading UK industry publications including Construction News, The Construction Index, Construction UK Magazine, and London Construction Magazine
This traction validates both the platform’s relevance and the scalability of its revenue model. 
The Construo Platform:
Construo integrates multiple high-value use cases into a single ecosystem:
- Professional Collaborative Network
Built around shared interests, skills, location, and reputation, creating trust and relevance absent from generic platforms. - Knowledge Hub
Socially curated Q&A, expert insight, resources, wiki, and a global construction news aggregator. - Recruitment & ‘Refer & Earn’ Platform (USP)
A unique, technology-driven referral model enabling professionals to recommend talent directly from their networks, generating faster, higher-quality hires and monetisable network effects. - Products & Services Marketplace
Aggregating fragmented supply and demand to unlock volume pricing, improve availability, and digitise procurement in a traditionally low-tech sector. - Targeted Advertising Platform
Contextual, industry-specific advertising aligned with professional intent.
Market Opportunity & Strategy
Construction is one of the world’s largest yet least digitised industries, employing over 220 million people globally.
Construo’s strategy focuses on:
- Leveraging first-mover advantage to become the default professional platform for construction
- Scaling network effects through the Refer & Earn recruitment model
- Expanding high-margin revenue streams across recruitment, advertising and marketplace commissions
- Disrupting conservative builders’ merchants by aggregating demand and providing real-time market intelligence
Capturing only a small percentage of an exceptionally large addressable market to generate significant revenue and profitability
Management, Governance & Execution
Construo is led by a highly experienced, industry-led management team, with deep expertise across construction, commercial leadership, technology, recruitment, marketing, and finance. The business has already demonstrated its ability to execute, validate ideas commercially, and convert strategy into traction.
The Board includes experienced non-executive investors, and the company is now seeking to strengthen governance and strategic capability further.
The requirement for investing NED’s / Advisors
Following a successful previous Investing NED process, Construo has already onboarded Investing Non-Executive Directors, strengthening governance and providing valuable strategic support as the business scales.

Incoming Non-Executive Directors / Advisors will be encouraged to become shareholders, with an initial investment typically in the range of £30k–£50k, aligning interests with those of the existing Board and investors. The company has HMRC Advance Assurance for EIS in place.
