US based Honest Buildings has secured finance from investors Westly Group and RockPort Capital.

The web-based service contains a database of buildings and encourages contractors to bid for refurbishment and maintenance work directly with owners via its HB Match service.

Honest Buildings launched its UK operation earlier this year and has established an office at the Open Data Institute in London’s Tech City.

Nick Katz, UK Head of Market Development for Honest Buildings, said: “With this financing, we are looking to grow our team, specifically for data science, regulatory and policy research, and business development in order to aggregate and share the most information on buildings and projects, helping more decision makers find the best solutions for their property portfolios.”
