Construction BDM (AEC) - 1 day a month Specialist Outreach

UK AEC Business Development Consultant – Warm Introductions

I run a London-based consultancy working with architecture, engineering and built-environment businesses, and I am looking for an experienced, well-connected AEC business development professional to help me open a small number of new client relationships.

This is not a lead-generation or high-volume cold outreach role.

I am specifically looking for someone who already has an established professional network among UK architects, engineering consultancies and/or other built-environment businesses, ideally including relationships with directors, managing directors, commercial directors or other senior decision-makers.

The initial objective is very focused: to secure a minimum of two genuine warm introductory meetings by December 2026.

I am particularly interested in someone who can:
• identify where my consultancy offering would have a strong commercial fit;
• use their own AEC relationships and network to create warm routes into suitable firms;
• make credible, personal introductions at senior level;
• advise me on where opportunities are most likely to exist; and
• help position my services appropriately for the AEC market.

I am not looking for someone primarily offering database building, automated LinkedIn outreach, email campaigns or generic lead generation. I can identify target companies myself; the value I am looking for is your existing industry relationships and ability to open doors.

This is deliberately a small initial assignment. The starting budget is £110 per day, with up to three days per month (£330). I am open to discussing how those days are best used rather than prescribing a fixed amount of activity.

If the approach works and generates worthwhile conversations, there is potential to develop this into a longer-term relationship.

When responding, please tell me briefly:
1. Which parts of the UK AEC sector your existing network covers.
2. The level of people you typically have relationships with.
3. An example of a warm commercial introduction you have made previously.
4. Whether you would be comfortable using your own professional network as part of this assignment.

I would then be very happy to arrange a short informal conversation to see whether there is a good fit on both sides.
