Questions & Answers about Hun bygger videre på innfallet.

Why is it bygger videre på instead of just bygger på?

Because videre adds the idea of continuing or developing something further.

• bygge på = to build on, base something on
• bygge videre på = to build further on, continue developing

So videre makes the sentence feel more like she is taking an idea and expanding it, not just referring to it as a base.
