Real Estate & Construction

Build projects on solid foundations

Plan with acceptance and certainty

Residential, infrastructure, or commercial developments often fail due to community opposition — incurring costly delays and redesigns. BrainE4 reveals anonymously what citizens, users, and decision-makers really think — structured and in real time.

The challenge

Lack of buy-in leads to protests and prolonged approvals
Resistance surfaces late in the planning process
Traditional engagement methods miss key groups and are inefficient

Without clear insight into needs and concerns, projects risk budget overruns, schedule slippages, and reputational damage.

The solution

BrainE4 ensures planning certainty through genuine digital participation. Our platform collects anonymous feedback from citizens, users, and policymakers in real time, making it easy to see where support exists, where conflicts loom, and how to adapt projects effectively.

Results

Higher acceptance through early stakeholder involvement
Reduced project risk by identifying and defusing conflicts before escalation
Faster approvals backed by demonstrable community support
More efficient planning with clear, data-driven priorities

I logged into the platform every day to see how opinions were evolving. Because just like me, the employees noticed that ideas were developing. More and more people got involved, and new suggestions and ideas kept coming in. It was a great personal experience, I have to say.

Matthias Schupp, CEO – Medartis AG

The reports provided us with more robust, reliable data than a municipal assembly or an information evening could deliver. Moreover, voices were heard that otherwise would not have spoken out loudly.

BrainE4 is many times more efficient than a survey, and the application is incredibly simple and intuitive. I can collect ideas and opinions, have them evaluated simultaneously, and receive a ready-to-use analysis at the end. Brilliant!

Thomas Geier, CFO – Aveniq IT Services

It was completely different from a survey, where you lose interest the moment you even see it. It was obvious that many people really enjoyed the playful approach with BrainE4. BrainE4 gave us first-class validation.
