Co-Building

We build your software.
Together with you.

Our people develop production-ready software on Canvas together with your team. Your team learns while building, and in the end you own both: the application and the ability to build the next one yourselves.

What Co-Building is

We come to leave again.

	Agency	Body leasing	Co-Building
What you get	A finished app	External capacity	A production app and a team that builds the next one itself
Who builds	Their developers, at their place	External developers in your organization	Canvas builders and your people, together
Where the knowledge ends up	With the vendor	Leaves with the contract	In your team and your workspace
Afterwards	Change requests	Renewal	Independence

Canvas exists so your people can build for themselves. Co-Building is the fastest way there: the first application is built together, the next one you build without us.

How it works

Product development, together

Kickoff and goal definition. Together we define what gets built, who from your team builds along, and how we measure success.
On site or remote. We are big fans of building side by side with your people in your offices, and of course we can also work remotely.
Building together. Canvas builders and your people develop side by side, product management and product development from one hand. Training happens on the job, on the real project instead of exercises.
Go-live. The application goes into production, secured by the platform's guardrails: quality, scalability, security.
Handover and training wrap-up. Your team takes over the application; open topics are covered in structured training blocks. After that we stay involved if you want us to, but we don't have to.

Double outcome

An application. And a team in your company that can keep building.

A production application in your Canvas environment; you own the codeApp

Builders in your own house: your people can build the next application themselvesTeam

Patterns, building blocks and decisions stay documented in your workspaceKnowledge

See what gets built on Canvas under Use Cases: CRMs, company operating systems, and line-of-business applications across every department.

The difference

The handover is the point

An agency earns from being hired again. Co-Building is built the other way around: we develop together with you, so that soon you no longer need us.

Defined handover criteria. Agreed before the start, checked together at the end.
Training for both roles. Builders learn to build, guardrail managers learn to govern: model selection, approvals, audit.
Support optional. After the handover we stay available if you want us, in a clearly limited scope.

Built this way. Running in production.

Two examples of exactly this way of working: Canvas builders and domain owners build together, and the result runs in daily use.

Pricing model

Fixed offer or day rate

For clearly scoped projects we make a fixed offer. For open-ended joint product development we work on day rates. Either way: no hidden items, and training your team is part of the engagement, not an extra line item. What fits your project is what the intro call is for.
