The problem we lived
Every construction professional knows the drill. Documents in one system. Costs in another. Progress tracked in spreadsheets. Site photos in WhatsApp. RFIs in email threads. And nothing talks to anything else.
We spent years watching teams duplicate data across five different platforms. Watching site managers chase information that should have been one click away. Watching commercial teams reconcile costs against progress using printouts and highlighters.
We saw £100 million projects managed with tools designed for £10 million projects - and £10 million projects managed with tools designed for filing cabinets.
"We didn't start with a vision for a platform. We started with frustration. The vision came from understanding why everything was so broken."
The fundamental problem? Construction software treats buildings like folders. Documents go in folders. Tasks go in folders. Photos go in folders. But buildings aren't folders - they're physical spaces with floors, zones, grids, and elements.
So we built something different. A platform where every piece of data - every document, every snag, every cost, every photo - is linked to a physical location in the building. Not a folder. A place.
That's BrieXO. Spatial-first. Built by people who've actually stood on site wondering why the software makes everything harder.
