Why We’ve Teamed Up
Running an SME construction business is hard. Lead generation shouldn’t make it harder, yet too often it does with low-quality enquiries, bidding wars, unrealistic projects, and marketing spend that delivers little ROI.
“The FMB is excited to announce our partnership with Buildscout.
By partnering with Buildscout, we are helping members access smarter, more efficient ways to generate quality leads and build sustainable pipelines of work.
We look forward to building a strong, long‑term relationship with Buildscout that continues to deliver practical value for our members and supports the ongoing digital transformation of the building industry.
Buildscout has partnered with the Federation of Master Builders as its only trusted lead generation partner, because we share the same belief: Trusted, high-quality builders should be positioned as the experts they are and given the tools to proactively secure better, higher-value opportunities that suit their expertise.
Through this partnership, FMB members can position themselves as the go-to practical experts for homeowners with projects that are a great fit in terms of value, location, scope, and expertise early on in the planning process, while strengthening existing architect relationships and building new ones to generate more referral work.
Together, we aim to help members move away from waiting for work to come in and inconsistent referrals, towards a more predictable, targeted flow of high value opportunities that align with their skills and locations they work in early on in the planning process.
We’re excited to be partnering with the Federation of Master Builders to support its members with better access to high-quality project opportunities.
By combining Buildscout’s planning application intelligence with the FMB’s trusted network, this partnership will help builders focus on the right types of work, in the right areas, and build stronger, more predictable pipelines.
We look forward to working closely with the FMB and its members to continue delivering practical value to construction businesses across the UK.”
