Qflow, a construction data and material intelligence startup, has secured £2m in funding from Autodesk. The strategic investment builds on an existing product collaboration between Qflow and Autodesk Construction Cloud, linking construction data back to design intent.
The platform focuses on reconciling real-time construction data on material quality, quantity and supply-chain intelligence with design data, helping teams identify and resolve material issues before they lead to delays, rework or budget overruns. With many project teams still relying on manual and fragmented processes, supply-chain challenges remain a persistent cause of rework and cost overruns across construction projects.
The funding will support continued product development and accelerate deeper collaboration with Autodesk Construction Cloud. It will also help expand Qflow’s presence in the United Kingdom and internationally, including North America, where demand for construction data quality solutions is growing.
We believe that meaningful progress towards more sustainable design and make processes starts with better data: captured earlier, verified at the source, and connected across the lifecycle of a project.
Joe Speicher, Chief Sustainability Officer at Autodesk
Our customers are under increasing pressure to deliver projects that perform better across cost, schedule, quality, and sustainability outcomes. While project performance is shaped in preconstruction, it is realized and proven through reliable construction-phase data. That intelligence helps teams understand material flows, reduce waste, and strengthen carbon reporting, supporting the shift towards more circular construction. By investing in Qflow, we’re supporting their mission to help project teams improve quality control, better coordinate site and office teams, and ensure fewer disruptions to programmes, in turn, transforming construction-phase data from a compliance burden into a genuine competitive advantage.
Sidharth Haksar, VP at Autodesk
Construction teams are being asked to deliver more than ever before: better margins, lower carbon and stronger compliance. However, they can’t do that without better data from site. This investment from Autodesk is a strong endorsement of our approach and vision of the role that construction-phase data and intelligence must play in building more responsibly. Together, we aim to eliminate the disconnect that causes billions in waste and unnecessary carbon emissions across the industry every year.
Brittany Harris, Co-founder & CEO
The industry is at a tipping point. Teams are no longer satisfied with rough estimates and retrospective reporting. Instead, they want data and insights that they can trust, while there’s still time to act on it. This collaboration with Autodesk allows us to deliver that capability on a worldwide scale, supporting better decision-making for projects, protecting profits and the planet.
