01 · The problem
Small jobs, served by nobody
For someone with a day of work to get done, finding a vetted trade is a coin flip. For a trade, filling the gaps between big jobs means chasing word of mouth. The platforms that exist tend to serve one side and leave the other to fend.
The fix was to treat a one-day job with the discipline a builder brings to a full project: scope, schedule, and a clean closeout.
Before: Finding a vetted trade for a day of work was a coin flip, and trades chased word of mouth between big jobs.
02 · The goal
What we set out to move
Run a one-day job with the same scope and closeout as a full project.
03 · How it was achieved
A marketplace built from the builder's side
Post the job with a scope
Day-scope work is posted through one intake, with the scope attached, not buried in a message thread.
Matched to vetted trades
Jobs are matched to vetted trades and handymen who fit the work, so both sides know who they are dealing with before anyone commits.
Managed like a real project
Each job is scoped, scheduled and closed out with builder-grade project management, at day-project size.
A private platform underneath
Behind it runs a private platform built on an AI toolkit for construction.

04 · The solution
What works now
- Jobs are posted through one intake with the scope attached.
- Each job is matched to vetted trades and handymen who fit the work.
- Every job closes out like a project instead of a favor.
After: A day job is posted with its scope and run like a project, from the match to the closeout.
| KPI | Before | Now |
|---|---|---|
| Job completion rate | Finding a vetted trade was a coin flip | Posted with its scope, run like a project |
The five steps and the controls
A builder runs the job
Think of the on-demand platforms for rides and food, applied to getting a project done, with a builder running the job. Both sides know who they are dealing with before anyone commits.
Every task goes through the same five steps: capture, prepare, draft, approve, record. The model does the first pass. Nothing runs on its own until a named person has approved it, and a job runs by itself only after it passes a pilot. See the five steps
