Our Story

Compare The Build was founded by Joe, a plasterer of nearly 20 years. Working on sites and domestic houses over the years he would quote his jobs based on guesstimating.

Later in his career he realised the everyday products he was using cost him differently depending on which of the merchants he was buying from. 

After researching countless hours he soon realised there was nothing online to compare these products and offer consumers that much needed transparency and ultimately that money saving tool the whole DIY and construction industry needed. 

From this frustration comparethebuild.com was born, a central go to tool for any trades person or DIY enthusiast. Offering price comparisons from all the main retailers on thousands of products on one central platform.

In 2021 £21 billion was spent on DIY in the UK alone, around £6 billion of that coming from online sales. Our mission is to save the nation as much of their hard earned cash as possible.

We hope you love this site as much as we do.

Thank you
