VE+ gets your equivalent products considered
VE+ works with contractors, QSs and developers to surface cost-effective, like-for-like finish alternatives. Products that meet the technical and visual requirements of a specified item are included in the comparison – even when they were not originally considered.
How does it work?
01
Specifications sent for review
Project teams share specified finishes with VE+ for review during tender or VE stages. Information may be shared in any format, including schedules, spreadsheets, and links.
02
Market-wide research and comparision
VE+ reviews the UK market to identify cost-effective, like-for-like alternatives that meet the same technical and visual requirements.
03
Relevant suppliers are introduced
Suitable alternatives are identified, suppliers are introduced and the client engages directly for procurement.

Have a question?
Do we need to maintain anything?
No. We do all the heavy lifting using public information such as your website and available technical documentation.
How are our products added to VE+?
Once included, we use AI to automatically index and structure your products based on information already available from your catalogue and website.
Is it free to join?
Yes. Inclusion in the VE+ supplier database is free. Get in touch to understand how our commercial model works.
Will our competitors be included?
Yes. We include multiple reliable suppliers within each category. We don’t offer any exclusivities and would always work to help the client find the most suitable product option for their project.
Do you replace our relationship with the client?
No. Procurement always happens directly between the client and the supplier or manufacturer. Our role is to connect between the parties.
At what stage of projects do you operate?
Typically during tender and procurement stages, broadly aligned with RIBA Stages 3 to 4.
