An independent map of the UK building-controls industry

Specifying and procuring a building management system is hard. Dozens of contractors, a fragmented market of control platforms and manufacturers, accreditations to decode, and capabilities that are difficult to compare like-for-like. ControlHive exists to make finding the right BMS and controls partner fast and trustworthy.

What we do

We maintain a structured, verified directory of UK building management system and controls contractors, and give estates teams, facilities managers and consultants the tools to compare them on what actually matters: control platforms worked with, accreditations, sectors served, coverage, response speed and capabilities. You can filter the directory, compare contractors side-by-side, and request quotes - all in one place.

An emerging intelligence platform

Most directories are just lists of links. We treat contractor information as structured data - every accreditation, platform, sector and capability is a field we can verify, filter and link. That data moat is the foundation of a wider building-controls intelligence platform, and it powers our comparison tools, location and manufacturer pages, and the confidence scores you see on every profile.

A neutral marketplace

We're independent and not tied to any manufacturer or contractor. Ratings can't be bought, featured placements are always labelled, and we explain exactly how we rank and verify contractors. We make money through clearly-disclosed featured listings and enquiry routing - never by skewing the information you rely on.
