COMPANY INFORMATION
BUILDPOD INTERNATIONAL LTD
Le Clos au Comte
Castel
Guernsey GY5 7QG
British Channel Islands
Company Reg.No. 50505
Business model
Buildpod International is not a building company but a building technology provider, positioned to become an international player in the construction sector.
The bPod business model is based on international licensing of the patented bPod technology to established building contractors, manufacturers or contracting clients anywhere in the world where the bPod benefits can be realised.
We are therefore not competing for market share, but are instead offering existing businesses a new product to meet contemporary demands in support of their own market share.
Key people
Ole Henriksen is the creator of the international bPod® business model, and Buildpod International’s founder and CEO. In 1983 he was a co-founder of software developer Borland International Inc who went on to become an international market leader in PC software in the 1980s. He worked in London from 1985 and has lived in Guernsey since 1993. He has created Buildpod International Ltd not as a building company but as a technology provider to the construction business – essentially a “software” supplier to “hardware” customers in the building trade. Among his key visions is the use of synergy to create a result greater than the sum of its parts, as was key to the success of Borland. As an experienced pilot, he is also keen to introduce to the building industry the safety culture which works so well in aviation.
Ole Bjerre is the inventor of the bPod building technology. He is a Danish architect with early experience in residential design and construction. He later created a business in sandwich panel production used in a range of industries, gaining considerable expertise in production management and development. Work in the building support industry eventually led to his invention of the bPod building technology which he patented and later sold to Buildpod International Ltd. He is now a consultant for the company on the development of his invention.
