Qflow Raises £2m from Autodesk to Connect Construction Data with Design Intent

February 5, 2026

Qflow, the London-based construction data and material intelligence platform, has closed a £2 million strategic investment from Autodesk, the global construction and design software company. The deal deepens a product integration that was already under way between Qflow and Autodesk Construction Cloud, and brings the startup's total funding to £7 million. Investors in previous rounds include Pi Labs, Triple Point Ventures, and Construction Innovation Hub, who backed the company in October 2024.

The construction industry is burdened by a persistent data gap: decisions made in the design phase are rarely visible to the teams managing materials on site, and the reverse is equally true. The result is that poor data and rework cost the UK construction sector an estimated £10–25 billion per year in avoidable costs, equivalent to 10–25% of total project value. Supply-chain failures—late deliveries, material substitutions, compliance gaps—remain among the most common triggers for schedule overruns and budget blowouts.

Qflow addresses this by capturing real-time material and waste data at source on construction sites and feeding it back into design workflows. The platform tracks deliveries, returns, and waste movements, applying AI-driven document processing to cross-reference site conditions against design specifications. Over the past 18 months, the platform has tracked more than 500,000 material deliveries across more than 400 sites in the United Kingdom, with clients including Bouygues, Ferrovial, and HS2. The company holds B Corp Certification—earning a score of 100.3—and won the King's Award for Innovation in 2025.

The new investment accelerates the joint product roadmap between Qflow and Autodesk Construction Cloud, with a combined focus on validating that delivered materials match design specifications, detecting supply-chain risks linked to sustainability credentials, and enabling accurate as-built reporting. The collaboration is designed to transform construction-phase data from a compliance obligation into a decision-making asset, supporting both profitability and carbon reporting at a project level. Funds will also support Qflow's expansion into North America, where demand for construction data quality solutions is growing.

Autodesk's commitment of strategic capital reflects its broader ambition to reduce waste and improve data quality across the construction industry. For Qflow co-founder and CEO Brittany Harris, the round signals that the industry's appetite for real-time insight has moved beyond aspiration into an operational necessity.
