The construction industry is broken

Construction is a complex industry, as every job site includes 50+ companies dependent on one another to achieve their goals. However, these goals are not aligned. Unfortunately, fragmented workflows add cost and risk to construction projects.  Despite construction being one of the oldest industries, it’s one of the least sophisticated, and construction projects fail at an alarming rate.

While there have been recent innovations and digital transformation within the industry, construction continues to have the 2nd highest suicide rate of all industries.  Why? The majority of construction projects over budget, their people are overwhelmed, and finger-pointing and legal disputes are common.

DigiBuild: saves time, money, and headaches  

DigiBuild is solving for the industry's most significant pain points—risk mitigation, supply chain management, and inefficient payment processing.  

DigiBuild is creating a new category within construction management software by utilizing blockchain technology to offer unprecedented results in the construction industry. Our distributed blockchain networks represent the next evolution of construction software applications that creates a verifiable single version of truth amongst construction stakeholders (Owners, General Contractors, Subcontractors, and Suppliers). All the companies involved benefit from unprecedented automation of workflows, risk reduction, and data insights to power better decision making.

DigiBuild's founders are also committed to reducing suicide incidents and improving mental health within the industry. 

There is a better way, and our mission is to build construction blockchain solutions and connected platforms to create a healthier and happier global construction industry.

So why build on blockchain? 

Everything is tracked and visible through blockchain, ensuring that everyone on construction projects works from the same information. The construction industry is comprised of complex arrangements, often between distrusting parties who rely on intermediaries and lots of paperwork and human time to manage risk and disputes. With DigiBuild, all doubt is eliminated!  All transactions are recorded and cannot be altered, critical documents are automated and authenticated, creating a massive reduction in paperwork and fewer disputes. All in an easy to use interface that saves project managers time.

Proof:

• Create payments and lien waiver contracts 4X faster
• 50% less expensive 'discovery' time
• Saves 20% of valuable Project Manager time
• Speeds up and improves cash flow

The result will be a happier workforce, happier clients, and a well-respected construction industry.

Construction management software

DigiBuild is a blockchain-enabled construction project management platform. Our customers manage workflows such as procurement, budgets, schedules, contracts, and payments. DigiBuild allows for collaboration across 50+ disparate construction stakeholders–all on a single platform. 

We are the first to merge our construction management expertise with blockchain to create the world’s most revolutionary technology bringing risk management and visibility to your projects.

Through verifiable collaboration, we eliminate risk, disputes, save time and create a healthier and happier global construction industry. 

Customer Driven Product Development

• 20 largest construction companies have provided direct feedback

• 100 additional companies interviewed for customer discovery

• 3 Core Problems: Supply chain, payments, and contract and risk management are the most important unmet needs in the industry today

Supply Chain & Procurement:

DigiBuild’s platform allows General Contractors, Subcontractors, and Suppliers to collaborate across all material purchases, order management, and deliveries from the start to the end of each project.  

1. Find materials

2. Request quotes

3. Place and manage orders

4. Track order deliveries to job sites

Guaranteed Truth Project Timeline:

DigiBuild’s platform captures all stakeholder transactions across any connected platform (as an API), creating a 'truth timeline' for each construction project.  All transactions are captured in a searchable, filterable, and comparable timeline, reducing paperwork, eliminating disputes, and expediting payments.

The origin of each transaction, because it is captured in a blockchain database, is secure, can be trusted, and is verifiable in court.  Benefits are increased visibility to improve forecasting. Fewer disputes and potential risk. Saves valuable legal and staff hours by more than 50% when “discovery” is necessary.

DigiPay:

When it comes time to get paid, requesting payments for Subcontractors and General Contractors is streamlined, and critical lien waiver document collection is automated and stored in the blockchain using DigiBuild’s smart contract feature. This functionality is 4x faster than other leading solutions saving Project Managers significant time, improving cash flow, and reducing payment risk.
