The startup is on a mission to revolutionise the construction sector by creating a virtual commercial platform for purchasing building materials
For the common man, who belongs to the middle or upper-middle class or non-resident Keralite category, one of the biggest dreams in life is to build a house. But it is a challenging task, both financially and physically. But here is good news for them. A Thiruvananthapuram-based startup, BuildNext (www.buildnext. in), launched by a group of IIT and IIM graduates, is on a mission to revolutionise the construction sector by creating a virtual commercial platform for purchasing materials required for building construction.
WHAT IS BUILDNEXT?
BuildNext.in is a multi-channel building material procurement platform for construction professionals and customers. The web-based user interface of BuildNext enables customers to prepare their building budget and make right purchase decisions by staying within the budget limit.
“Proprietary VR technology enables customers to walk inside their future home and select products by actually trying them out in their home. BuildNext Experience Centres will be available at major locations to help customers utilise our technology solutions through the course of their building construction. Experience Centres are currently live in Kochi and Kozhikode, and will soon come up in Manjeri, Thiruvananthapuram and Palakkad,” says Gopikrishnan V, Founder- Director, BuildNext.
