The Problem & Bottlenecks

System Bottlenecks & Technical Friction

Project developers and commercial property managers suffered from unreliable subcontractor sourcing, fraudulent credential claims, and lack of transparency during the bid collection phase, resulting in costly job-site delays.

Our Engineering Approach

Architecture Design & Implementation

We engineered Contractors List as an authoritative two-sided marketplace. Built automated verification workflows for state licensing and insurance certificates, interactive Mapbox-powered regional contractor discovery, and private RFP bidding rooms with escrow-backed payments via Stripe Connect.
