Education: Why Procurement Needs a Health Check
In construction, procurement is the engine that keeps your projects moving. But like any engine, it needs regular checks to make sure it’s running as efficiently as possible.
Many subcontractors don’t realise just how much time and money is lost through outdated procurement processes. Manual quote chasing, unclear material tracking, lack of visibility into costs—it all adds up. And the worst part? These inefficiencies are often hidden in plain sight.
At The Build Chain, we specialise in transforming the way subcontractors manage procurement. Our digital platform connects buyers to suppliers, automates admin, tracks everything in one place, and empowers users to make better, faster decisions.
And now, we’re helping subcontractors uncover inefficiencies in their own workflows with a Free Procurement Evaluation—a fast, insightful tool designed to help you assess how your current process measures up.
If you’ve ever asked:
“Are we overpaying for materials?”
“Why are our quotes taking so long to come back?”
“Where are the bottlenecks in our supplier communication?”
Then this evaluation was made for you.
