The team behind Sanvy
We've spent careers in tech, SaaS, and startups. Now we're using everything we've learned to build the platform the building industry has always deserved.
Three things we live by
Move fast
Ship daily. Decisions in hours, not weeks. Speed compounds — every shipped feature teaches us something the lab never could.
Care
Care about the craft, the customer, and each other. Builders trust us with their margins — we treat that trust as sacred.
Challenge
Challenge the status quo, the brief, and ourselves. Comfortable answers built the spreadsheet era — we're here to replace it.
Why we built Sanvy
We started because of Alexander.
Alexander is a ventilation expert who's done calculations for 20+ years — a second-generation calculator in his family. His work isn't scalable, and he feels stuck in the 90s with old tools, pens, and all the knowledge living in his head.
Project calculation is a high-stakes, manual process locked behind tribal knowledge. We saw it up close — and decided someone had to fix it.
The challenges we solve
Dumb drawings
Tenders based on static, disconnected PDFs. Customers can't budget on real data — in an industry known for price corruption.
Manual calculation
Engineers waste 80% of their time sifting PDFs, tracing ducts, and entering amounts into spreadsheets. No learning beyond personal experience.
Delivery stress
Manual BoM errors and rushed pricing cause profit leaks during execution. Customers pick on price, not delivery quality.
Our aim and how we get there
Built in the field, not the lab
Co-developed and live-tested with a mid-sized installation company. We have the domain authority to sell to traditional installers and the technical depth to build complex AI — and we've built businesses from the ground up. We solve the last-mile problems generic software misses.
Build the holy grail
100% automated bill-of-materials creation and pricing of a project from unstructured project documents. We can — and we will.
Our solution
Sanvy engine
Multi-layered, proprietary AI parsing of tenders and drawings. Automatic bill-of-materials identification and drawing quality checks.
Intelligent pricing
We cross-reference material costs and labor benchmarks for a project in real time.
Trusted output
We visualise the process so experts can review and trust the result. We apply industry standards and train our models with industry experts.
Let's give the building industry the platform it deserves.
