Company profile
researched Aug 2026Morta offers what it describes as a "Connected Project Controls Platform" for construction project delivery. The product positions itself as a replacement for Excel-based control of complex construction projects, connecting data across the systems a project organisation already uses and applying a consistent operating loop of plan, track, check, report and learn across every controls function from design through handover.
The platform provides role-specific views out of the box and starts projects from an organisation's own templates rather than a blank canvas, so processes and standards can be encoded and reused; the company states implementations can be up and running in hours. Morta synchronises live data with common data environments (CDEs), ERP systems and programme tools and can feed BI dashboards from the same source, positioning itself as a connective layer that allows planned-versus-actual reporting to be drawn from source data rather than periodic exports and manual reconciliation. A London startup directory categorises Morta under Construction and AI and describes it as a no-code platform that digitises and automates administrative workflows in construction projects, with project managers configuring and triggering tasks automatically.
Customer testimonials published on the company site cover commercial construction, design consultancy, MEP, and defence and naval segments, and reference use cases including document checking and reporting dashboards, fee burn-down forecasting, document control, agency labour tracking, and IFC model validation.

Market position
Positioned as an alternative to spreadsheet-based project controls and as a connective layer between existing construction systems rather than a replacement for them. A London startup directory lists the company at Series A stage in the Construction and AI categories.
Emphasis on configurability to an organisation's existing processes (templates and role-specific views) rather than a fixed workflow, integration-led single source of truth across CDEs, ERPs and programme tools, rapid deployment measured in hours, free supply-chain seats, and security posture including ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus and UK data residency.
Technology
A configurable, no-code project controls platform with role-based views and reusable organisational templates. It integrates with CDEs, ERPs and programme tools to synchronise live data and act as a single source of truth, and can feed external BI dashboards. One customer reference describes using Morta together with IFC Open Shell for model validation. The company states it holds ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications and offers UK data residency.
Go-to-market
Direct enterprise sales driven from the website via demo requests and a self-serve "try Morta on a real project" entry point, supported by named customer testimonials and role-level advocacy inside client organisations. Free access for supply-chain participants provides a route for the platform to spread across project teams beyond the paying organisation.
Construction and infrastructure organisations across the supply chain, including main contractors, design consultancies, MEP contractors and defence/naval engineering organisations. Named users in testimonials come from McLaughlin & Harvey, Stantec, Kane Group, ALEC, Babcock International and Mace Consult, with roles spanning digital construction, BIM and digital engineering, document control and design management.
Geography
Presented as a UK-centred company, offering UK data residency and GBP-denominated pricing, and listed in a London startup directory; customer references include organisations operating in the UK, Ireland and the Middle East.
Risks & controversies
No controversies are reported in the available sources. Publicly available information is limited: no funding amounts, investors, headcount or revenue figures are disclosed in the sources, and most performance claims originate from the company's own website. Name ambiguity is a research risk — a separate US cybersecurity company called Morta Security was acquired by Palo Alto Networks in 2014 and is unrelated to this company.
