FairByggePris is developing an AI-powered service that helps property owners and professionals analyze contractor offers to identify errors, hidden costs, and overpriced items with unmatched speed and accuracy. Construction projects are often delayed or become more expensive because contractor offers are complex, inconsistent, and difficult to compare. Many clients – from private homeowners to housing associations and municipalities – lack the technical expertise to assess whether a bid is fair and complete. This problem is widespread: every year billions are spent on construction in Denmark alone, and a significant share of these projects suffer from budget overruns or disputes due to unclear or incomplete offers. The lack of transparency creates mistrust and unnecessary financial risk. FairByggePris applies AI to automatically analyze contractor offers. The system parses PDF or digital bids, compares them against structured industry data (such as Molio standards), and highlights missing items, hidden costs, or inflated pricing. Instead of relying on manual review by expensive consultants, users can within minutes receive a clear, data-driven analysis showing whether the bid is fair and where they should ask critical questions before signing. Over time, the system becomes smarter by learning from thousands of analyzed offers. The idea came from repeated experiences with how opaque and inconsistent contractor offers can be. Many homeowners and organizations enter construction projects without knowing if they are overpaying or missing critical details, leading to stress and unexpected costs. We started FairByggePris to give clients confidence and clarity. By using AI and structured construction data, we can finally make it easy for everyone to check their bids and avoid expensive mistakes.

Komposit is conservation/restauration business that deals in preservation, registration and consulting for both corporate business and public institutions. Currently we are working on the first danish digital platform specifically developed to provide art-owning businesses with an easy and cost-effective way to gain an overview of their art collections. The platform is based on automated features that safely guide the user through all necessary steps in the registration process. The platform has been developed by art conservators who have carefully selected the features to ensure a “need-to-know” registration process. The process is simple and efficient, ensuring that the business knows what artworks it has and where they are located. The tool is primarily used via smartphone, making it convenient to work with on-site. The collected data is stored in a database that can be accessed through both the app and a web browser. Once the company has an overview of its art, it opens up entirely new possibilities for activating and showcasing the value of the artworks. This could include re-curating the collection, creating communication initiatives for employees or guests, conducting valuations, conservation assessments, preservation planning, restoration, refining the collection through acquisitions or sales, and more.
