Pulse wins Pitch Your Plan 2026 at UK Construction Week

Lindsay and Lewis pitched Pulse live on the Culture Change & Skills Stage at UK Construction Week London, and won Design & Build UK’s Pitch Your Plan 2026.

On 13 May 2026, Lindsay and Lewis stood up on the Culture Change & Skills Stage at UK Construction Week London, at ExCeL, and pitched Pulse to a room of people who build things for a living. By the end of the afternoon we’d won.

Pitch Your Plan is Design & Build UK’s live pitching competition for new businesses in the built environment. Winning it means Pulse is now endorsed by UK Construction Week and Design & Build UK.

The end of our pitch, and the moment we won. 25 seconds, with sound.

What we pitched

We kept it simple, because the problem is simple. Every practice runs on held-together chaos: project emails scattered across inboxes, client decisions recorded nowhere, and the house style living in the partners’ heads. It works until it doesn’t.

Pulse is one system for every project. It keeps the project’s memory, runs the admin in the background and tells you what’s slipping before a client has to ring and ask. We’re architects ourselves, and we built it because we were tired of losing evenings and weekends to work nobody can bill for.

Why it matters to us

Pulse started as a tool for our own practice. Then we built it alongside other architects. Standing in front of the wider construction industry, and having it land, told us the problem is bigger than architecture, and that we’re solving it the right way.
