DigiBuild is revolutionizing the global construction industry. We are the first to build construction software powered by blockchain. Our tools help large companies like VCC Construction, improve the schedule and budget on projects and save millions annually.
Hi Product Hunt! I'm Robert Salvador, Cofounder & CEO of DigiBuild 😃
First, thank you to @mwseibel and @Ycombinator for hunting us.
Construction companies don't trust each other. Blockchain builds trust. Our software provides construction end-users with 10X more automation, transparency, and data insights than they currently have.
WHY DID WE MAKE THIS?
This industry is difficult. I grew up in construction and my dad owned a small company. As a SMB, I watched him struggle and get beat down for years.
Cofounder April Moss’ father was also in construction and owned a company. The punishing conditions eventually led to him taking his own life when April was only 8 years old.
This is personal. We won't stop until we create a happier, healthier construction industry
THE PROBLEM:
Construction is one of the largest and least digitized industries globally; productivity is similar to or below levels from 50 years ago!
☹ 70% of construction projects finish late or over budget
😲 Projects create 750,000 documents, overwhelming management teams.
😰 2nd highest suicide rate of all industries in the US
HOW DIGIBULD HELPS:
✔ Streamlines paperwork and workflows using automation
✔ Improves transparency/line of sight between companies; provides a single source of truth
✔ Removes fragmented data and captures data insights
🤑Our largest customer, a billion-dollar builder, is projected to save over $1M this year
HOW YOU CAN HELP:
Any feedback is welcomed! We're also open to talking to investors and customers (general contractors and commercial developers).
Please direct communications to: ops@digibuild.com
THANK YOU!
Truly excited to be on Product Hunt!!
Thank you @mwseibel and @Ycombinator.
It’s a rare opportunity to be part of a great team applying revolutionary blockchain technology to improve a critical global industry like construction.
We all have roots in construction and trades. My father was an electrician. I remember helping run ‘live’ wires on Sundays as a kid. Crazy I know. Then, I started my first business at 19 as a residential and commercial painting contractor and over 5 years and with 20 employees I put myself through college.
One of the biggest questions I had to address when I joined DigiBuild, was creating an understanding between blockchain and cloud databases given we are the first company to build construction software powered by blockchain.
Only blockchain creates a single, verifiable set of information and documents so that all project stakeholders work from the same information. In an industry where dis-trust and disputes are common this is game-changing. We can reduce dispute expenses by 90%. Then there is automation of workflow and paperwork like lien waiver contracts which eliminates 70% of the paperwork and speeds up invoicing 4X faster!
That’s why we are building DigiBuild’s suite of products.
Construction projects can be a real mess. It is true that most of the projects go beyond budget and timing. Hope that Digibuild will solve a huge problem.
