FAQ: construction leads and business development software
- How does BuildBeacon generate construction leads for subcontractors?
- Paste your company website once. BuildBeacon builds a trade profile from your services and regions, then automatically matches live UK planning applications and public tenders to packages you can quote.
- What UK data sources does BuildBeacon use?
- Planning applications, Find a Tender and Contracts Finder notices, awarded contracts, and main contractor activity signals — filtered to your trade rather than dumped as a raw portal list.
- Is the free Construction Pipeline Generator really free?
- Yes. Run a free outreach pipeline scan from your website with no card required. Subscribe when you want automatic refresh, weekly action lists, contacts, and outreach on an ongoing basis.
- How is this different from Glenigan, Barbour ABI, or a lead database?
- Lead databases give you access to notices. BuildBeacon is business development software: it matches leads to your trade, ranks top priorities, identifies key contacts, and provides outreach — refreshed automatically every week.
- Who is BuildBeacon for?
- UK subcontractors and specialist trades — roofing, M&E, groundworks, drylining, fire protection, and similar package contractors — who need construction lead generation and BD without a full-time researcher.
- Can I cancel anytime?
