What is KC?
Kustomer Connect (KC) is the first pre-construction management system designed for consumers to manage their new home building projects, financial capacities, and their interaction with architects, engineers, builders, contractors, developers and lenders.
​
The UK’s new-build housing market is predominately geared towards cookie-cutter housing stock, limited choice and, unsustainable options.
Consumers want better homes and the custom home / self-build markets are the logical alternative, however, most people just don't know where to start or how to see it through…
KC plugs this gap and systematically connects the customer to the entire pre-construction roadmap in a language that makes sense.
Pre-Construction Platform Designed for the Consumer
Currently, the Architectural, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) community has many dedicated technology/software solutions designed to streamline consumer engagement and operations enabling access to accumulative data that better positions critical decisions to win and successfully manage contracts.
However, for the client, it is a completely different story with no dedicated consumer-side solutions to systematically enhance their pre-construction journey exposing many commercial decisions/engagements to a multitude of risky scenarios.
​
The flow-on effect from this can lead to decision fatigue which can negatively impact climate-optimal design intentions and material selection decisions often forcing the consumer to downgrade home designs and material choices which result in inferior, lesser-equipped homes.
​
KC plugs this gap and systematically connects the customer to the entire pre-construction roadmap and by empowering consumers at the critical point of design, we organise the consumer and the path to building better at a global level becomes methodical, transparent, and achievable.​

Product Features
KC, a dual-sided web-based platform where the consumer can confidently navigate the pre-construction roadmap and where the AEC professionals can focus on delivering the best possible service, solutions, and price knowing the customer is qualified, informed, and a true like-for-like tendering field has been created.
We aim to be the industry standard for custom and self-build consumers, for banks supporting our clients issuing mortgages, and for developers offering serviced plots.
​
​
Residential, pre-construction tech designed to accommodate and support the following consumers:​
Consumer owns their land and prefers to design-build their own unique custom home via an architect.
Consumer seeks to acquire a plot and prefers to design-build their own custom home via an architect.
Consumer requires / does not require land and has identified an existing home design to modify/design-build.
Residential, pre-construction management system designed to offer the following features all via KC`s platform:​
KC utilises advanced AI technology to "catch all" at the pre-construction phases reducing the risk of budget blow-outs...
No matter what design, or building methodology you choose, our AI technology defines what is included, what isn't, and what you need to consider ensuring you don`t miss anything eliminating any unwanted surprises (budget blow-outs).
​
Why is this important?
Let's take a closer look...
We have a limited window to change the way we build and ensure that new buildings have a net positive environmental impact. Improved methods of construction and modern operating systems exist and the changes we need to make are simple, practical, and often cost no more than current unsustainable building practices.
The world is warming, and ‘buildings’ contribute to 39% of annual global carbon emissions...
​
They do so when we build them (using unsustainable, poorly rated materials) and when we use them (with heating, cooling and, operationally).
Solving the climate impact of new buildings is best tackled at the point of design.
​
Clever architectural designs aligned to budgets and functional requirements that optimize energy usage, use the most modern climate-friendly material, take into account evolving climate patterns, accommodate future technologies, and design overall performance for the future can ensure that building stock that’s constructed today is climate-optimal and part of the solution to the global warming problem facing us all.
Fact: we aren’t designing climate-optimal buildings, and the decisions made today have a 50-year impact.
From greener materials to cleaner industrial processes, we have individual solutions however we must find ways to systematically combine, embrace and, deploy our improved methods of design and construction into the custom home and self-build markets (at global scale).
Kustomer Connect zooms into the pre-construction subset within the residential market, specifically standalone custom built houses.
​
The custom home and self-build market is one we can positively influence quickly but we need to empower and improve the way consumers manage budgets, design their homes, communicate with the *AEC community, and plan their construction journey.

About Us
We are experts in our given Architectural, Engineering, Construction (AEC), and technology fields who are passionate and committed to building better, more sustainable, and resilient homes at scale and believe the best way to do this is through a systematic approach that allows the consumer more access to pre-construction tools written in a language that is easy to understand, yet functional and professional.
By empowering the consumer at the point of design, we organise the consumer and the path to building better at a global level becomes methodical, transparent and achievable.​
