At first, refurbishing your home is always a good idea. Until its a reality. Logistical problems like contractors, bad communications, communication issues with your local entrepreneur, nonexistent process and a low quality job can rise as issues with the refurbishing process. That's why we created Shineup! We are developing a platform that digitalizes the process of refurbishing properties to create a predictable price, quality, products and process. We solve this by having an intuitive web - interface that makes the order-process and project execution totally transparent. _________________ I starten, virker oppussing av hjemmet alltid som en god ide. Helt til det skal gjennomføres. Problemer som å finne leverandører, uklar prosess, ressurstap, dårlig kommunikasjon mellom deg og lokal entreprenør og lav kvalitet på utført arbeid kan oppstå i en renoveringsprosess. Det er derfor Shineup ble til. Vi skal utvikle en plattform som digitaliserer alle prosesser ved oppussing av eiendomsobjekter for å skape forutsigbarthet med hensyn til pris, kvalitet, produkter og gjennomføring. Vi løser dette med å et intuitivt web-grensesnitt som gjør bestillingsprosessen og prosjektgjennomføringen helt transparent. Nedre vollgate 3, 0158 Oslo +47 488 86 750 hei@shineup.no www.shineup.no

Modulize designs and develops web-based, data driven software solutions that empower the construction industry to build more sustainably. ‍We believe that offsite construction is humanity’s best answer for tackling one of the biggest sustainability challenges facing the world today — the way we build. Offsite construction offers a major opportunity to radically change the construction industry for the better by reducing waste and emissions, reducing construction costs and shortening build times, tackling the problem of labour shortages and enabling the reuse of materials and elements at a building’s end of life. By designing and developing software solutions that ensure that offsite construction can be adopted at scale, Modulize is ensuring that these benefits can be delivered without sacrificing architectural quality or character.
