Struck focuses on keeping up with compliance at Digital Construction Week
21 May 2026
Ahead of appearing at Digital Construction Week (DCW), Struck co-founder Max van Riel shares with DC+ a taster of what to expect on its stand.
DC+: Who are you and what do you do?
Max van Riel: Struck is an AI-powered building compliance platform designed to simplify one of the most complex aspects of construction: understanding and applying regulations correctly. Based in the Netherlands, Struck has become the country’s largest AI building compliance platform, trusted by both local authorities and private-sector organisations to navigate increasingly complex building rules and requirements.
Our mission is to make compliance faster, clearer and more accessible for everyone involved in the built environment. Construction professionals spend significant time interpreting regulations, checking documentation and ensuring designs meet the latest standards. Struck reduces that burden by using AI to provide instant, accurate compliance support, helping users make better decisions earlier in the project lifecycle. We do this with the knowledge that data privacy is of paramount importance to our users, ensuring that none of their data is processed outside of the EU.
Having established a strong presence in the Netherlands, we are now bringing our platform to the UK market, where the need for smarter compliance tools is growing rapidly. With increasing regulatory complexity and mounting pressure on project timelines, we believe AI can play a transformative role in improving efficiency, reducing risk and helping the industry deliver with greater confidence.
What are you showcasing at DCW?
Struck is showcasing how AI can solve one of the UK construction industry’s biggest ongoing challenges: compliance with constantly evolving rules, regulations and technical guidance.
For architects, developers, builders, consultants and even local authorities, keeping up with changing requirements is a major challenge. Regulations are updated frequently, interpretation can vary, and identifying which specific rules apply to a project often requires significant manual effort and specialist knowledge. This creates delays, uncertainty and unnecessary risk throughout the project lifecycle.
Struck addresses this challenge by making compliance knowledge instantly accessible and actionable. Our platform helps users quickly understand which rules apply to their project and provides clarity across a wide range of UK regulatory frameworks, including building regulations, Approved Documents A–T, fire safety guidance, Health Technical Memoranda, and Building Bulletins.
At DCW, we’re demonstrating how AI can dramatically reduce the time spent searching through documentation, improve confidence in decision-making, and support faster, more efficient project delivery. As high-risk buildings and complex infrastructure projects continue to scale, having immediate access to reliable compliance intelligence becomes increasingly critical. Audit trails of compliance decision-making are now becoming increasingly important in the construction process, and Struck is built to reduce the time it takes to create these documents.
Who are your customers and what success have they had working with you?
Struck works with a broad range of stakeholders across the construction and built environment sectors, including municipalities, developers, architects, designers and builders. Our platform is designed for anyone who needs fast, accurate answers to building compliance questions and wants to reduce the time, uncertainty and cost associated with regulatory interpretation.
In the Netherlands, our journey began by helping users answer straightforward questions about building codes and regulations. This gave professionals and public-sector teams quick access to reliable compliance information without the need for lengthy manual research.
As the platform evolved, so did its capabilities. Today, Struck supports far more advanced use cases, including full compliance checks that help teams assess whether plans and designs meet applicable requirements. This progression has allowed our customers to move from reactive compliance problem-solving to more proactive risk management and faster project decision-making.
The response from the market has been strong because the challenge is universal: compliance is essential, but navigating it is often inefficient and resource-intensive. By combining regulatory expertise with AI, Struck is helping the construction industry modernise a process that has traditionally been slow, fragmented and difficult to scale.
