What Construct IT does

Construct IT is a UK specialist haulage division of BJS Distribution Limited, established in 2020 to provide brick and block transport and crane-offloading services for construction material manufacturers and builders merchants. The company operates a unified fleet of approximately 60 articulated vehicles shared with BJS Haulage, deployed from five strategically located hubs (West Midlands HQ, Essex, Yorkshire, Lanarkshire, Nottinghamshire) to provide nationwide coverage, with management stating that 95%+ of deliveries are executed on its own fleet. Its equipment range spans artic curtainsiders, centre-mount and roll-along artic cranes, drawbar cranes, custom urban crane trailers co-developed with Atlas Cranes and Dennison Trailers, and artic vehicles with demountable Moffett forklift capability — enabling delivery to sites with varying access constraints.

The technology layer rests on a Mandata-deployed transport management system that streams live driver hours, vehicle location, load progress, and arrival-board ETAs, with automated text and email notifications to customers. Construct IT markets itself on health and safety credentials supported by internal training managers and ALLMI/FORS-recognized partners. Revenue is generated on a quote-based, pay-as-you-go model, with customers engaging via a 'Get a Quote' call-to-action and dedicated sales (01922 324 090) and customer service (01922 645 650) phone lines.

Go-to-market is sales-led and B2B, leveraging the BJS Group's existing relationships within the UK construction sector. Wienerberger, a major UK brick manufacturer, is publicly cited as a haulier-network partner. Operations are overseen by Operations Director Amarat Gill, and the company is part of the wider BJS Family group alongside BJS Home Delivery, BJS Extra, and BJS Haulage. No external institutional investment, financial disclosures, or M&A activity are evidenced in the available data.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core and key.

• MandatacoreTechnology or IntegrationConstruct IT's parent company BJS Group partnered with Mandata to implement a comprehensive transport management system (TMS). Mandata provides real-time data feeds including live drivers' hours, vehicle location, and load progress with live ETAs on an arrivals board. The system enables BJS to maintain complete transparency throughout the delivery process with text and email notifications to customers.
• Atlas Cranes & Dennison TrailerscoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerConstruct IT collaborated with Atlas Cranes and Dennison Trailers to design custom urban crane trailers. These specially designed trailers offer increased stability and payload with the flexibility to shorten in length for accessing restricted urban sites where 8-wheel rigid vehicles would normally be required.
• WienerbergerkeyChannel Partner/ Reseller/ DistributorWienerberger, a major brick manufacturer, has partnered with Construct IT as part of their haulier network. Wienerberger's Head of Logistics Gavin Atkins described Construct IT as a reliable service provider, noting their belief that Construct IT will be a great asset to their haulier network and expressing anticipation for growing together in the future.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Travis Perkins: Travis Perkins is the UK's largest builders merchant and operates its own delivery fleet for construction materials including bricks and blocks. As both a potential customer and competitor, it represents the integrated vertical model that could challenge Construct IT's specialist positioning.
• Wienerberger UK: Wienerberger is a major UK brick manufacturer and an existing customer of Construct IT. It operates its own haulier network and could insource logistics or shift volumes, making it both a key partner and an indicator of customer-side logistics optionality that pressures Construct IT's contract stability.
• DHL Supply Chain: DHL Supply Chain operates globally and offers UK construction and industrial logistics as part of a much wider portfolio. While not specialized in bricks and blocks, it competes for large UK construction logistics contracts and has the scale to pressure niche operators on price.
• Tarmac (CRH): Tarmac, part of CRH, is a major UK construction materials supplier with its own logistics operations for aggregates and bulk materials. While it primarily serves its own materials business, its scale in construction haulage represents both a potential customer and a competitive threat to Construct IT.
• XPO Logistics: XPO Logistics is a global logistics provider with UK truckload and last-mile capabilities serving industrial customers. It competes for general UK construction haulage contracts as part of a broad service portfolio rather than specializing in building materials haulage.
• Howdens Joinery: Howdens Joinery manufactures and distributes kitchens with its own dedicated UK delivery fleet, demonstrating the integrated depot-and-fleet logistics model that construction product suppliers use. While focused on kitchens rather than bricks, its national depot network provides a comparable vertically integrated distribution template.

Direct peers

• Wincanton: Wincanton is one of the UK's largest logistics providers with significant exposure to construction materials and bulk haulage. Both companies serve UK construction supply chains with dedicated fleets and operate nationwide hub networks with similar B2B service models.
• Maritime Transport: Maritime Transport is a UK haulage specialist with a strong container and general freight network. It operates its own fleet across multiple UK depots, comparable in scale and structure to Construct IT's hub-and-spoke operations.
• Culina Group: Culina Group owns Eddie Stobart and operates major UK haulage networks including ambient, chilled, and container transport with construction and bulk capabilities. Like Construct IT, it serves UK B2B logistics with its own fleet and regional depot infrastructure.
• Boughey Distribution: Boughey Distribution is a UK specialist haulage operator focused on container and general transport. It runs its own fleet with regional hubs, mirroring Construct IT's direct-to-customer haulage model and competitive positioning for industrial customers.
