Support a Project

You helped build it.
Own the recognition — permanently.

BDC publishes the industry’s project stories free, and always will. The firms behind each project can then hold a permanent, named credit on its page — findable in search, citable by AI assistants, usable in tenders. Not a favour on a page that vanishes. An asset you own.

Permanent

Your credit lives on the project's page for as long as the page exists — not a banner that expires at month-end.

Findable

Structured, indexed pages built for the questions buyers ask: who built it, who supplied it, who to use next time.

Tender-ready

The Verified badge is a dated, third-party, linkable credential of project experience — the evidence PQQs ask for.

AI-citable

Company and project pages carry the structured data AI assistants read when someone asks who worked on a scheme.

How it works

01

We publish the project, free

BDC's editorial coverage of the project stays free and independent — that's what makes the recognition worth having.

02

Your firm claims its credit

Pick the project you worked on and the tier that fits. We confirm your role, place the credit and issue the badge where included.

03

It stays — and we report it

Your credit is permanent and indexed. Members get a monthly visibility report on how their pages are found.

The Supporter ladder

Every tier is an asset you can point to, not a placement that expires. Prices shown are indicative and will be confirmed by BDC on enquiry.

The Verified badge

A credential you can put in a tender, not a logo on a banner.

Every Verified Supporter receives the BDC Verified “Worked on” badge — dated, role-specific and tied to the project’s permanent page. Embed it on your site, drop it into PQQs and bid documents, and let assessors check it in one click.

  • Serial-numbered, dated and role-specific — links to the project's page
  • Assessors can check it in one click
  • Yours permanently for that project

How verification works

Where your role isn’t already in BDC’s published coverage, we verify it against evidence before anything is placed: a purchase order, an appointment letter, or written confirmation from the client or main contractor. We decline claims we can’t evidence.

Become a project supporter

Tell us the project and the role. We’ll do the rest.

One enquiry covers availability, confirmed pricing and a proof of how your credit will appear — on the project page, in the directory, and as a badge where included. No obligation.

Our coverage stays independent: supporter placements never buy coverage, and coverage never requires payment. That is what makes being seen here worth something.
