Why Boom

Few regions in Flanders have reinvented themselves as thoroughly as this one. In 1896, Boom alone counted 48 brickworks and 42 roof-tile and earthenware factories. From 1975 onwards most of them went under, undone by new building materials, more competition and pricier energy. What was left were clay pits and a region that had to come up with something else.

It managed. De Schorre, the recreation area where Tomorrowland is held, is an old clay pit. And where the old industry stood there is now a dense fabric of smaller companies: construction, engineering, transport, trade, services. Family businesses in their second or third generation, with processes that grew over the years and were rarely ever cleaned up. That is who we build for.

What we build for companies in Boom

The pattern here is almost always the same. There is a package that does the invoicing, a spreadsheet that does the planning, a WhatsApp group that steers the crews and a mailbox where everything else ends up. It works, until the company grows and nobody has the overview any more.

What we build then is the system that brings those pieces together. One place for your files, your planning, your documents and your figures, connected to what you already use. You never have to bend your company to fit a big package, because the system follows your way of working.

Questions we get from Boom

Does Build More have an office in Boom?

Yes. We work from two offices, Boom and Puurs-Sint-Amands. Two of our founders come from Boom, so the Rupelstreek is simply our region.

Do you work for small companies from Boom as well?

Yes. Our smallest projects start around €8,000 for a well-defined tool that solves one concrete problem, your planning or your site tracking for example. You never have to be a large company to work with us.

Can we visit you in Boom?

You can, and we are just as happy to come to you. For a first conversation we do not mind where we sit, as long as we understand how your work runs today.

How quickly can a project in Boom start?

After a first conversation you get a fixed price and a date within 24 hours. The build itself runs in a weekly rhythm, with a new version on a test link every week. A well-defined tool is often live within a few weeks.
