From the team behind Stylib.com
Stylib has helped dozens of suppliers organise, manage, and distribute product data across the architecture and design industry. Now, with VE+, we’re applying that same expertise to value engineering, helping property developers and contractors reduce costs without compromising design intent or build quality.
Have a question?
What products/categories do you cover?
At the moment we cover all architectural materials and finishes: tiles, flooring, textiles, paints, acoustic panels and more. We’re constantly growing our offering to include more product categories.
Do you tell me who are the brands behind the products?
Yes we do. We always tell you exactly who the brand is behind each product, what the quoted price is, and how to get in touch. We only scan reputable UK suppliers.
How much does your service cost?
Our pricing works on a win-win basis. We only charge you if we’re able to find comparable options that save you at least 10% compared to your existing quotes. Pricing scales with usage – contact sales for more details.
Do you cover bespoke products?
We do not currently cover bespoke or one-off fabricated items.
Do you cover black materials?
We do not cover these categories at this time.
What product categories can you help with?
We’re currently able to scan the market for tiles, flooring, textiles, acoustic panels, paints and wallcoverings. If your spec is outside any of these categories, please tell us and we will let you when we’re able to start supporting it.
Is VE+ a software tool?
At the moment, VE+ is a service. You send us your spec via email, and we get back to you with a list of compliant, cost-effective alternates.
Do you sell the products directly?
No. We’re a research service, not a vendor. Our goal is to help you save time and protect your margins by identifying compliant, cost-effective product alternatives.
How do you find the alternates?
We use AI to search a product database that spans hundreds of UK suppliers. Our system matches both visual characteristics and technical performance criteria to ensure the alternates meet spec.?
