Industry - Construction
Enforcement is shifting from documentation to evidence, and estimating still runs through spreadsheets that lose money at every manual transfer.
The work below is what we are building for this sector. We label it honestly rather than presenting it as delivered.
The rules changed. Paperwork after the fact isn't compliance anymore.
“We can't prove PPE compliance without someone physically walking the site.”
HSE enforcement is shifting from documentation-based to evidence-based compliance: more than 13,000 inspections in 2024/25, over 4,400 enforcement notices, and £33 million in fines from 246 prosecutions.
“Falls from height are still our biggest risk, and we only find out after it's happened.”
Falls from height account for over half of construction worker deaths, and the sector still loses around 40 workers a year, one of the worst records of any UK sector.
“Our cost estimates are wrong more often than they're right.”
43% of projects finish over their original budget, and inaccurate cost estimates are one of the most common reasons projects fail.
“Every manual transfer of a number is a place we lose money.”
Spreadsheet-based estimating means the same figures get re-entered by hand into invoices, budgets, and accounts separately, and every one of those transfers is a place a cost gets missed or changed.
You shouldn't need to walk the site, or re-check every spreadsheet, to know what's really happening.
4,400+
enforcement notices were issued by HSE in 2024/25, 1,200 of them stopping work on the spot because someone was at risk of death or serious injury.

£33m+
in fines came out of 246 HSE prosecutions in 2024/25, at a 96% conviction rate, and the cases are picked for fatalities, repeat breaches and persistent poor compliance.

35
fatal injuries to construction workers in 2024/25, against a five-year average of 40 a year, one of the most dangerous sectors in the country.

Over half
of construction worker deaths in the five years to March 2026 were falls from height, an average of 19 a year and by far the single largest cause.

43%
of projects did not finish within their original budget across industries in PMI's survey, and inaccurate cost estimates were named as a primary cause of failure in more than a quarter of failed projects.

megaprojects run over budget, and overruns of up to 50% in real terms are common.

Proof of concepts, and what we're building
Our construction work is at proposal and proof-of-concept stage. Nothing here is presented as a delivered reference account.
Client & Stakeholder Portal (BIM-linked)
conceptLive updates pulled directly from BIM and site data, filtered to show clients, funders, or stakeholders only what you choose them to see. Real progress, on demand, without a weekly report or a walk-through.
PPE & H&S Vision
conceptAI vision that flags non-compliance and hazards as they happen on site, not on the next walk-through. Built for evidence-based compliance, which is exactly the direction HSE enforcement is moving in.
Cost Estimating Platform
conceptAI takeoff connected to live merchant pricing and your negotiated trade rates, generating accurate estimates and purchase orders without manual re-entry across systems.
Integrations & middleware
Most site tools, project management, accounting, procurement, don't talk to each other. Linking them lets data flow once, instead of being re-keyed at every stage.
