Building the future together of renovation demolition
The lasting alliance between RAZE and ByeleX
The partnership between RAZE Renovationsloop and ByeleX is one of long standing, rooted in trust, respect, technical expertise and a shared belief in the need for progress. What began as a personal connection between Barry de Bruin, founder of RAZE Renovationsloop, and Herman Vissia, founder of ByeleX, has grown into a partnership in which vision and technology continuously reinforce each other.
Barry and Herman met 15 years ago. The click was there immediately: shared values, a passion for smart solutions and the ability to look beyond technology alone. What connected them then – ingenuity, pragmatism and mutual respect – is still the basis of their collaboration, now in a different context, with new goals and on a larger scale.
From renovation demolition company to digital ecosystem
RAZE is not a traditional renovation demolition company. From the heart of the circular economy and the need to work differently, Raze is transitioning into a franchise organisation with (for now) 12 regional partners, each with their own market, but with one common ambition: to make renovation demolition smarter, safer and more transparent. Not just by working harder, but mainly by working smarter, with technology as a catalyst.
In collaboration with ByeleX, RAZE has developed a range of digital tools that are transforming the industry. Consider the ‘Time2Calculate’ system, in which customers can instantly submit photos and details of their project via an app. Developed in close coordination with people on the shop floor, the software automatically calculates the total price of a project, according to location, type of material and risk. Within no time, the customer receives a complete project proposal, including budget and planning and waste specification.
Time registration that fits, and invoicing
With the ‘Time2Invoice’ system, RAZE goes one step further in digitising the chain. This smart solution links work performed directly to the calculation model and provides real-time insight into which hours have been spent where. The registered data then automatically form the basis for invoicing, tailored to the specific agreements per project. No more loose notes, no more differences in interpretation, but a clear, conclusive system that simplifies both planning and financial processing. This not only increases RAZE’s reliability towards the customer, but also strengthens mutual trust between main contractors, subcontractors and regional partners.
The ByeleX team: the silent force behind the systems
In this process, ByeleX is much more than a Tech partner. The ByeleX team plays a crucial role as a strategic development partner, seamlessly connecting technical innovations to the operational reality of the demolition sector. The ByeleX team does not think in individual features, but in ecosystems that function under pressure, on site and within laws and regulations.
One of the unique qualities of the ByeleX team is that they know exactly how to make the link between technology and operations, actively thinking along with RAZE. At the same time, they ask sharp, critical questions to arrive at future-proof systems that are not only scalable, but also easy to expand. Thanks to this thorough approach, RAZE’s foundation is digitally robust and future-proof
Ambition: changing the standard
RAZE is looking ahead. The goal is not only efficiency and cost savings, but also standardisation, security and a new way of working across the industry. It should become easier to opt for sustainability, move faster and cooperate better. In doing so, the role of partners like ByeleX remains crucial, not only in technology, but also in strategy, culture and change management.
What RAZE and ByeleX show is that real innovation starts with people who trust and challenge each other. Who are not afraid to challenge existing systems and who understand that progress is never just a technical story, but also a human one.
