Our take
Compliance and transparency within the construction & building industry have always been of great importance, especially now considering the current pressure on the sector to build sustainable and safe housing.
Onetrace is a digital tool that helps contractors gather data for the capturing, documentation, and streamlining of their operations. It stores everything in one place for teams, their clients, and auditors.
The company is backed by a team that has years of experience in the construction industry, and so has witnessed firsthand the need for better ways to manage projects. Onetrace has worked with the likes of Bellway, L&Q, the NHS, and Berkeley Group.

- At Onetrace, our team includes over 10 nationalities. We’re proud to be a multicultural, collaborative team - bringing together different voices, perspectives, and experiences to shape the future of construction technology.
- Inclusivity isn’t just part of our culture, it’s baked into our product design and customer experience. From the features we build to the way we work together, we believe great technology starts with understanding and respecting the people it’s built for.
- We believe diversity isn’t a ‘nice-to-have’ - it’s essential to building great products. The more inclusive we are as a team, the better we reflect and serve the diverse trades, people and cultures using Onetrace every day.
- Internally, we’re committed to creating a space where everyone feels they belong - where our values of respect above all and doing the right thing aren’t just words, but behaviours we live and reinforce together. Externally, that same mindset shows up in how we partner with customers - through our product, our communication and our commitment to raising the standard across the industry. Because to build technology that works for everyone, it needs to be shaped by everyone.
