About Cornice.
Cornice is a record of a renovation. It holds what was planned, what changed, what was decided, and what it cost — so the homeowner can see the whole of it at any moment, whether they are managing the work themselves or watching a professional do it for them. It is not a marketplace, not a directory, and not a financing platform. It is the homeowner’s surface in a system that has, until now, mostly forgotten the homeowner is in the room.
Why we exist.
The construction industry has tools for everyone except the person paying for the work. Architects, contractors, PMs, suppliers — all wired into systems that record their part. The homeowner gets a WhatsApp group and a spreadsheet. Cornice is the homeowner’s tool, on the homeowner’s side, recording the renovation as it happens. The long version is the manifesto →
Who's building it.
Cornice is built by Waleed, who’s based in Dubai. He has spent years developing and renovating his own properties, and is right now in the middle of another — across WhatsApp groups, three sets of spreadsheets, scattered Google Drive folders, and his own memory. He started Cornice because the tool he wanted did not exist, and the tools that did exist were built for everyone in the renovation except the person paying for it. Cornice is the tool he is building, first, for himself.
