By building software for governments, contractors, and residents to collaborate effectively across the customer journey, we help the industry work smarter, make people's homes more comfortable, and reduce their impact on the climate. Shared Works is financially supported by the Scottish Government, European Union, and UK Government. We presented Shared Works at COP26. We are partners of 10+ Scottish Councils, Birmingham Council, and the West Midlands Combined Authority.
