ConstructEther is being built to give developers live cost, programme and compliance visibility across every scheme, without growing an in-house team to get it. Being straight with you: the module that is live today is used by your contractors, not by you. The three modules a developer uses are sequenced through 2027 and 2028. The card on the right shows exactly where each one stands.
You sign off a guaranteed maximum price, then six months in the quantity surveyor's report flags overruns you cannot unwind. The report tells you what has already happened rather than what you can still control, and you are explaining the return to investors rather than hitting it.
Slippage surfaces in monthly meetings rather than as it happens. By the time you know, the cost of catching up is locked in, and so is the impact on sales, lettings or operational handover. Your funder finds out the same week you do.
Building Safety Act records sit across the contractor chain in email, shared drives and project folders. Assembling them at a gateway is a paper chase, done after the fact rather than captured as the work happens. Your obligations under the Act are a matter for your own legal advisers, not for us.
ConstructEther is a four-module platform. Developers receive tenders rather than issue them, so Tender Intelligence is not a module you would use. The three below are the ones that would sit on your desk. All three are sequenced rather than built, and what follows describes the design rather than software you can buy today.
Cost against budget, the effect of variations, and cashflow forecasting, so you can see what a change does to the scheme before you commit to it rather than after.
Document control aligned to ISO 19650, supporting the golden thread records you have to keep. It is a record keeping system. It does not certify compliance and it is not a substitute for your principal designer or building control.
Programme against baseline, milestone tracking and contractor performance, so slippage surfaces when it happens rather than at the next monthly meeting.
Tender Intelligence is in closed beta with Founding Partners now, with full launch in Q1 2027. It sharpens the cost picture your contractors give you, but you would not use it directly. The three modules a developer uses follow in sequence through 2027 and 2028. Founding Partners shape the order.
Used by main contractors and consultants. It sharpens the cost picture you receive from the supply chain rather than sitting on your own desk.
Cost against budget, variation impact and cashflow forecasting across the pipeline.
Programme, milestones and contractor performance, connected to the commercial picture.
Document control aligned to ISO 19650, supporting golden thread record keeping. We do not certify compliance.
Main contractors, quantity surveying practices and designers work in the platform. Each has its own workspace, and you see the consolidated picture rather than four separate reports.
Cost against budget, programme against baseline, and the document record, updating as the work happens rather than arriving as a PDF once a month.
A variation lands and you see the consequence that week. The programme slips and you see it the day it happens. A gateway approaches and the record is already assembled.
Any output containing rates, quantities or a contractual position is a draft requiring quantity surveyor review.
Twenty-five years in UK construction, starting on the tools before qualifying as a quantity surveyor. Thirteen of those years in commercial roles across Mace, Morgan Sindall, Esh Group, Elliott and Modulaire, and Lindum, delivering in excess of £275 million of construction works. He founded ConstructEther to give developers the cost, programme and compliance visibility they have always needed, without forcing them to build an in-house team to get it.
Over twenty years from trainee surveyor to Commercial Director. Andrew has spent his career as the quantity surveyor the contractor sends into your project meetings, which is exactly the vantage point the platform is built from. He co-founded a contracting business and scaled it to £5m turnover in three years, and now runs his own commercial and project management consultancy.
If your question is not here, we will handle it on the demo call. No script, no offer to check with the team.
No slides. We show you Tender Intelligence as it stands today, walk you through the design of the three modules you would use, and tell you plainly when each one lands. Bring two live schemes and your quantity surveyor.
