(“Valtor”), a Southeast Asia-focused construction sourcing and procurement firm, today announced it has raised US$700,000 in Pre-Seed funding led by leading climate-tech venture build VC Fund Wavemaker Impact. </p><p>Co-built by seasoned entrepreneur Eileen Kae Relao and Wavemaker Impact’s Philippines Venture Build team, Valtor will deploy the funds towards solving the ongoing chronic procurement problems that delay construction projects, inflate costs, and increase carbon footprint across the region. Valtor combines pre-vetted supplier networks, consolidated logistics, and secure warehousing with in-house architectural design expertise so developers can make faster, greener, and more cost-effective purchasing decisions.</p><h3><strong>Tackling Procurement Pain Points at Scale</strong></h3><p>Across Southeast Asia, construction projects face long lead times, fragmented supplier communications, and logistics complexities that push schedules and costs. </p><p>Valtor addresses <em>this by helping developers access sustainable materials faster, smarter, and at scale. </em>The company does so by bundling 3 previously separate functions — sourcing, logistics, and design quality assurance and control — into a single streamlined service. The result: <em>material price savings, dramatically shortened procurement cycles, and clearer sustainability outcomes for each build. </em></p><p>Since its inception, Valtor has launched its integrated sourcing, logistics, and technical advisory platform - Valtor Quotation© (“VQ”) - to slash material procurement lead times from months to days. Additionally, Valtor also concluded its first client delivery in September 2025, completing in just 6 days what normally takes the average supplier 3 months. Alongside speed and reliability, Valtor tracks the carbon saved on every delivery and champions energy-efficient materials, ensuring each order cuts both costs and emissions. Its first delivery already saved 3.6 tons of CO₂e versus traditional sourcing. This shows demand, execution power, and climate impact in action, with more pre-launch orders already coming in.<strong><br /><br /></strong></p><p><strong>Key Proof Points of Pilot Customer Projects:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Up to <strong>48% savings</strong> on material cost versus traditional sourcing channels.</p></li><li><p>Lead times reduced from <strong>21–30 days to as little as 3 days</strong> through optimized sourcing and consolidation.</p></li><li><p>Logistics bookings are completed in <strong>under 24 hours,</strong> and materials are delivered <strong>1–2 days</strong> with optional secure warehousing. </p></li></ul><p><em>“SME property developers across Southeast Asia struggle with procurement delays, high material costs, and a lack of access to eco-friendly options,” said </em><strong><em>Guillem Segarra, Partner at Wavemaker Impact</em></strong><em>. “Valtor builds their solution precisely around these pain points; bringing procurement, logistics, and sustainable materials into one seamless platform. With rapid urbanisation in the region, the choices we make today will shape buildings that last for generations, making it essential for developers to adopt lower-carbon materials that strengthen their bottom line while securing long-term impact.” </em></p><p><strong>What makes Valtor different? <br /><br /></strong>Valtor integrates professional material vetting (to strengthen specification-performance matching), a pre-vetted supplier network, and consolidated logistics to remove friction at each step of the procurement supply chain. The company’s forthcoming Valtor AI–powered Bill of Quantities (“BOQ”) platform© will automate instant quote generation, smart supplier matching, and a per-order carbon score — giving project teams faster decisions with embedded sustainability data. </p><p><em>“Construction procurement shouldn’t be the thing that slows down a project or compromises sustainability, especially when there is already a middle-class housing shortage in so many areas of the Philippines and the broader Southeast Asia region” said </em><strong><em>Eileen Kae Relao, Founder &amp; CEO of Valtor</em></strong><em>. “It is with this northstar that spurred me to create Valtor: to bring speed, clarity and low-carbon choices to developers and architects — so they can focus on building great, sustainable structures. With our integrated service and the AI BOQ platform launching in October, we’re making fast, green, and cost-effective sourcing the default across the region.”</em></p><h3><strong>Looking Ahead</strong></h3><p>With its sights set on scaling across Southeast Asia, Valtor plans to roll out the Valtor AI BOQ© platform to paying customers in October 2025, expand supplier coverage across core markets, and introduce enhanced carbon-accounting features per order. The company’s roadmap prioritizes enabling developers to choose low-carbon products without compromising price or schedule.</p><p>With orders already underway and its Valtor AI BOQ Platform© launching in October, Valtor is positioned to become Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing green construction procurement platform.</p><p></p><hr /><p></p><h3><strong><br />For media inquires, please contact:</strong></h3><p>Eileen Kae Relao</p><p>Founder &amp; CEO</p><p>Email: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"mailto:kae@valtorsolutions.com\">kae@valtorsolutions.com</a></p><p>Phone: +63 918 959 8277</p><p><br /><br /></p><h3><strong>About Valtor Solutions, Inc.</strong></h3><p>Valtor Solutions, Inc.
