About Us

Construction Supermarket set out with one goal – to change the construction industry for the better.

Designed and developed over the last three years, we have implemented a unique market strategy that works for Contractors and Clients alike, which means there’s minimum risk to either party. Our platform has been designed to take the worry out of a build.

Although we’re not a building company, we’re an introductory service for clients who need construction work. Putting them in touch with verified builders who they can trust.

We have taken great steps to minimise the risk associated with choosing a contractor. First of all, we ensure all our contractors take out a personal guarantee against any project they complete, which will be detailed in the form of a JCT Contract. We also ensure all contractors on our platform have a contracts of works insurance policy. Then we stage check your build to ensure the work detailed is being carried out to an acceptable standard. Each of our contractors go through a screening process to ensure we only back the best in the business.
