Thanks! I really appreciate the thoughts and the fact that you tried it out! :)

I have validated it with a handful of contractors, but I feel like my reach is limited. I also feel limited by my ability to sell / distribute. I'm a product guy/engineer, so I'm comfortable there, but I have much less experience selling.

I'm still not sure about the tagline, I don't feel like I have enough data points one way or the other.

It's been a really fun project to work on, and brings me back to when I would work constructions in the summers during university.

Again – thanks for trying it out and sharing your thoughts!


I spent my evenings and weekends over the past several months building a construction management product for small home builders / general contractors.

It's a bit of a niche market, but a friend of mine owns a small contracting company and as I got to learn about his challenges, I realized there wasn't anything purpose-built for companies just like his.

I know this is a bit of random product, but I thought it'd be fun to get feedback anyway or share it in case the problem set resonates with anybody :)

In case anybody's interested, the stack is primarily Laravel/Vue/MySQL. I also wrote a blog going into more detail about why I built for this specific niche, happy to share that if anybody wants it!

I'd love your thoughts/feedback!
