FAQs
A good lead can be identified through the quality of the information it has. The more information it has, the better the lead.
For example, a Barbour ABI lead provides all the necessary information you need about a project. This includes:
- Timing for the project
- Value
- Details of the project
- Location
- Materials used
- Development type
- Updates
- And the people/companies working on the project from architects to quantity surveyors
No matter what your business needs, we cater to every business type, for every sector to make sure you have the data you need for a good construction lead.
Building material manufacturers can use Barbour ABI’s Project Leads Platform to source and secure specification from beginning to end, but you can also use us to promote your products.
Our construction products directory, Barbour Product Search, gets your business, products, case studies, tech data sheets and more in front of the UK’s largest supply chain audience.
Using these two products together creates an unstoppable marketing outreach approach that sees many returns year on year.
Our platform has two types of search:
- Filtered search
- AI search
Both are imperative for finding the leads that will win your business more work. The filtered search is granular and can be as comprehensive as you want. Save this search so you can come back time and time again to see the leads you know you want.
AI search helps you find projects that may span just outside of your target regions or sectors to provide new growth opportunity. It also helps you find information quicker and easier than ever before. You can even save your AI searches to return to and get the results anytime you need.
As we continue to outpace the industry in our AI development, we expect to advance even further to help marketing teams across the UK find leads, contact information, and company information even faster than before.
Clients can export up to 2,000 leads at a time in either pdf or spreadsheet format.
Unlike other platforms, Barbour ABI provides real-time updates, comprehensive project details, and direct contact information in full detail for marketing teams to use for prospecting.
We’re also the only Construction Project Lead provider with AI integration.
