What is Build Connect?

Building Connect provides a landlord-controlled digital backbone that makes commercial buildings genuinely move-in ready. It standardises how connectivity is delivered across the asset so tenants can connect faster, building teams have clearer accountability, and owners can evidence resilience in leasing, valuation, and due diligence conversations.

  • Faster tenant onboarding: reduce delays, dependencies, and bespoke installs.
  • Clear demarcation and operating model: less finger-pointing, quicker resolution.
  • Portfolio consistency and evidence: a repeatable approach that stands up to scrutiny.

Connectivity shouldn’t slow down deals

  • Tenants wait weeks to get online
  • Deals stall on unclear answers
  • Too many suppliers

Turn connectivity into a new revenue stream

Offer internet and network services as part of your building and create a new source of income. The service is in place at building level, so it is ready before tenants move in.

You can offer it as a paid add-on, with flexible models that fit how you run the asset. Your tenants connect quickly without waiting for installs or dealing with multiple providers. That gives you more control, a better tenant experience, and a steady, repeatable revenue stream.

FAQs

You’ll find answers to some of the common questions we’re asked about BuildingConnect by owners, operators, and occupiers.


Tenants can get online immediately once the building is enabled.

BuildingConnect creates a defined demarcation between landlord and tenant responsibilities, so issues can be resolved faster without the usual back-and-forth between multiple providers.
