Building a better way to finance property development

The startup lacked an understanding of how to architect a solution that both embodied the founder’s vision and met the unmet needs of the market.

They needed to deliver a technology architecture and software solution lean enough for the initial launch while scalable for future growth.

The platform needed to support an ambitious product roadmap, focused on automation and problem-solving, for a streamlined user experience.

Brickflow appointed CCQ early in its inception to provide the technology and product expertise required to advance its business concept from ideation through to MVP and launch.

Initially, Brickflow commissioned CCQ to test product-market fit and iterate as users began engaging with its toolsets. The subsequent goal was to establish a foundation for post-launch growth and funding.

CCQ’s challenge was to act as a CTO-as-a-service and deliver the necessary technology architecture and software solution.

Our first task was to immerse ourselves in the product vision, understand the customer problem, define the jobs to be done, and validate the solution hypothesis.

We then provided expertise in complex software development and technical architecture, helping to bring the business concept to life and drive the product towards launch.

Working closely with Brickflow’s founding team, CCQ developed Brickflow’s proprietary matching engine, which calculates loan rates and interest, digitising the process of matching finance requirements with the best available lenders.

To this day, we continue to work with Brickflow, delivering enhancements and maturing the underlying technology. As more lending partners have joined, we’ve further developed Brickflow’s matching and calculator engine to include smarter matching and additional features.

Since its launch in late 2020, Brickflow has grown to provide streamlined access to over 40 banks and financial service lenders. The platform has saved time and effort for thousands of property developers searching for finance.

In its first six months alone, Brickflow secured nearly £50 million in approved loans.

Additionally, confirming the business opportunity and securing its future, Brickflow has raised over £350K—at least in part due to the success of its robust platform built by CCQ.
