Your next opportunity
is closer than you think.

The right project is often one introduction away. Trails finds it through the people you already know.

Put your network to work.

It took years to build. Trails shows you the work moving through it, and your way in.

With Trails

A reason to get in touch

How it works

You bring the network. We do the legwork.

  1. Public research gets us started. Add who you know and how you’re connected, so we can find work that fits.

Example briefing

What Trails sends you.

Why it fits, who you know, and a note to get things moving.

For a builder

Fictional

Rear extension, Walthamstow

Quillon Architects · Est. £150k to £220k

Why now
Granted 2 September. The drawings are nearly ready to price.
Why you
You built two similar extensions with Priya. This project is in your usual area and budget range.
Who to call
Priya at Halden Structures, an engineer you know. Her firm has worked with Quillon Architects on two schemes.

A note to get startedDraft · unsent

Hi Priya, I saw Quillon’s Walthamstow extension was approved. It looks similar to the extensions we built together. Do you know if they’ve chosen a builder, and would an introduction be appropriate?

Make it yours. Send it when you’re ready.

For a drainage consultant

Fictional

Nursery extension, Ealing

Project announcement · This week

Why now
Teasel Engineering announced the project. The published brief calls for drainage design.
Why you
You handled drainage on a tight urban site with Ben last year. That experience could be useful here.
Who to call
Ben at Teasel Engineering, the structural engineer on the scheme. You worked together last year.

A note to get startedDraft · unsent

Hi Ben, I saw Teasel’s Ealing nursery project needs drainage design. It looks similar to the site we worked on together. Is the drainage team in place? Happy to send a relevant example.

Make it yours. Send it when you’re ready.

Who it’s for

Is Trails for you?

  • You win work through people: clients, architects, engineers and other firms you know.
  • You join projects as teams form, work is awarded or specialist help is needed.
  • You’d rather spend your time on good conversations than on research.

That includes builders, engineers, surveyors, drone survey firms, and drainage, planning and ecology consultants, among others.

Private by default.
Your network stays yours.

Your list stays private.

The firms you confirm stay private to your account.

Never shared with other firms.

Other customer accounts cannot see your relationship list.

You make every approach.

Trails never contacts anyone for you. You get a draft, and you decide whether to send it.

Every opportunity shows its source.

Each one comes with the public record behind it, so you can check it yourself.

Questions

A few things worth knowing.

Public research gives Trails a starting picture of projects and the firms involved. You build on it with your own relationships: past collaborators, clients and other people you know. Tell us how you’re connected and what you’ve done together. That context helps us find opportunities that fit your firm and suggest a useful way in. Your relationship details stay private to your account. The people you add don’t need to be on Trails.

Less chasing.
More good conversations.

Build on the relationships you already have.
