For UK homeowners

Your home project, organised.

01 — The Workspace

One private place. Less chaos.

Your workspace is visible only to you. Nothing is shared with professionals unless you choose to send it. Start free — no card, no commitment.

Inside your workspace

My Project — your living brief

Goals, budget, timeline, site constraints and scope in one place. Every other tool — and Wes — reads from it, so advice is about your build, not a generic one.

Actions & decisions

The next right thing, always visible — plus a record of what you chose and why, so nothing gets re-litigated six months later.

Risks

Surface what quietly blows budgets — party walls, drainage, lead times, planning conditions — and log how you'll mitigate each one.

Files

Quotes, drawings, surveys and reports stored privately against your project instead of buried in email.

Programme & Gantt

Answer a few questions and BuildWise generates a real construction programme — phases, dependencies, milestones and contingency — on the England & Wales working calendar.

Find the right professionals

Set your strategy, get matched with vetted professionals from our 1,000+ UK directory, and send one consistent brief to everyone at once.

Structured responses

Professionals reply through a private link — no accounts, no email ping-pong. Compare like with like, shortlist and appoint in one click.

Community & guides

Real UK projects, practical questions and hard-won lessons from other homeowners, plus editorial guides from the BuildWise team.
