Our story

Why Build More exists

build more /bɪld mɔːr/
verb  to build more value with less time, less code and fewer detours.

Custom software used to come with a barrier: long projects, heavy budgets and an end result that sat far away from the shop floor. We started Build More in 2023 to turn that around. We give SMEs and public bodies the same firepower as a company with its own IT department, without the price tag and the waiting time that normally come with it.

That works because we choose well. We build on one fixed, modern stack with Next.js, Astro and Supabase, and reach for proven building blocks wherever that is faster and just as solid. Our time then goes to the functionality that is yours alone, and you go live in weeks rather than quarters.

Next to custom software we build AI agents that take over repetitive work and pull their weight alongside your team. An application that replaces your Excel chaos, an agent that handles your admin: it comes out of the same house.

Everything happens in house, by the team you see below. We sit at the table when the scope is set, write the code ourselves and stay on board after launch. Good software is never really finished.

In the press

They wrote about us

Build More builds custom software in under 24 hours by combining proven building blocks with AI. We took that same approach to market under the name First Response, and that is how the Flemish press and the tech media picked up Pieter and Olivier’s story.

First Response and Build More are the same company with the same people. First Response was a different marketing angle on exactly the same offer. The articles below appeared under that name.

Our values

What we stand for

[ scroll → ]

  • 01 / 04

    Ship fast

    We start from a concrete scope and build straight towards it. You go live quickly and learn from real users, instead of from a plan on paper.

  • 02 / 04

    No-nonsense

    Our approach is straightforward: plain language, an honest price and no sales pitch. You always know where your project stands and what the next step is.

  • 03 / 04

    Long term

    Good software is never really finished. We treat every collaboration as a long one: after launch we keep thinking along, maintaining and improving.

  • 04 / 04

    Quality

    What we hand over is finished: tested, documented and ready to build on. Take it in house later and you start from a solid base.
