HAUS

What HAUS does

HAUS Tech Ltd operates a B2B wholesale marketplace for net-zero construction, headquartered in Ipswich, United Kingdom, and founded in 2023 as a private limited company (Co. No. 14777744). The platform connects suppliers of sustainable building materials—including prefabricated building systems, windows and doors, stairs, flooring, heating and plumbing, renewables, urban infrastructure, and kitchens/bathrooms—with registered trade buyers in the UK construction sector such as contractors, developers, and builders, alongside a secondary directory of construction professionals (architects, structural engineers, MEP designers, planning consultants).

The platform is built on standard two-sided marketplace infrastructure: supplier storefronts, dedicated buyer and supplier dashboards, HAUS Messenger for buyer-supplier communication, an AI-driven product listing enhancement tool, and Mangopay S.A. integration for payment processing, e-wallet services, fraud alerts, and supplier disbursement. Suppliers interact through one of two commercial models: a Disclosed Agent Service (12% commission, supplier as seller of record) or a Hybrid Undisclosed Agent Service (15% commission, HAUS as consignee for VAT and customs). Product breadth spans more than a dozen categories, including affiliated prefab home shells from HAUS Offsite Ltd (Needham Detached, Bristol Modern, Juniper Town, Bramfield Bungalow) and certified-sustainable offerings aligned with Passivhaus and RAL-GZ 422 standards. Ancillary services include Ship with HAUS international logistics, 30-day trade credit, and 1.5% Next Day Receipt payment processing.

HAUS monetizes via marketplace commissions on transactions, supplemented by payment processing fees and facilitated trade credit. Go-to-market combines free supplier onboarding, sales-led recruitment of trade buyers, and credibility anchored by partnerships with the Construction Leadership Council (CO2nstructZero initiative), UK Green Building Council, Good Homes Alliance, and Passive House Institute. As of mid-2025, the company is implementing the Joint Innovation Facility under the EU's AEDIB 2.0 Global Gateway Africa-Europe Investment Package (€250,000 grants to climate tech startups). The company remains in early commercialization with 1-10 employees and no disclosed revenue or external institutional funding.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Wickes: UK trade and DIY retailer with strong trade-account program and kitchen/bathroom fit-out. Incumbent offering click-and-collect plus trade credit that competes on convenience.
• Alibaba.com: Global B2B wholesale marketplace. Relevant for the international supplier-buyer model and customs facilitation that HAUS replicates at a niche scale.
• Jewson: UK builders' merchant with deep trade relationships and branch network. Incumbent that could launch curated net-zero storefronts.
• Amazon Business: Generalist B2B procurement marketplace from Amazon. Serves UK trade buyers with broad MRO and construction categories; competitive threat on logistics, catalog breadth, and take rate.
• Travis Perkins: UK's largest builders' merchant with extensive trade network and branch logistics. Incumbent that could replicate HAUS's curation layer and undercut on logistics and credit.

Direct peers

• Faire: Wholesale marketplace connecting independent brands and retailers; analogous two-sided model with trade credit. Different vertical (retail goods) but same marketplace mechanics and category-curation thesis.
• ManoMano: European B2C/B2B marketplace for home improvement, DIY, and construction products. Closest direct peer: similar marketplace model serving trade buyers with home/construction categories, though HAUS differentiates on net-zero curation.
• Materials Market: UK B2B marketplace for construction materials and fit-out products. Direct peer in geography and category, though without HAUS's net-zero specialization.

Others

• Procore Technologies: Construction software platform serving contractors with project management, procurement, and financial tools. Adjacent ecosystem participant that could integrate or compete with HAUS on the procurement workflow layer.

Emerging players

• OnBuy: UK-based marketplace with growing B2B trade category. Comparable marketplace infrastructure, though broader (non-construction) catalog.
