Billdr

Billdr is a digital platform that aims to simplify and streamline the home renovation process for homeowners. The company's platform supports customers throughout their renovation journey, from the initial design phase to project completion. Billdr helps homeowners connect with qualified architects, engineers, interior designers, and general contractors who have valid licenses and insurance coverage. The platform provides homeowners with best practices for various project types and pricing benchmarks based on over 1,000 renovation projects initiated through Billdr. As of 2024, the company operates in multiple cities across Canada and the US, including Montreal, Toronto, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Washington.

Billdr's process begins with a free consultation where homeowners discuss their project details and budget. The company then assists in creating a scope of work, developing a budget, and sketching out floorplan ideas using tools like magicplan for accurate floor plan capture and visualization. If needed, Billdr connects homeowners with appropriate professionals for design and permitting assistance. Once a project is construction-ready, vetted contractors from Billdr's network can access the project details and provide quotes. Throughout the construction phase, Billdr continues to support homeowners as an independent project manager, offering weekly reports and site visits.

The company's platform includes a personalized dashboard for homeowners, where they can view project-related information such as estimates with category breakdowns, subtotals, and integrated 2D or 3D floor plans. This transparency allows customers to easily compare and contrast quotes from different contractors. Billdr's services are primarily focused on larger renovation projects, with a minimum project cost of USD 20,000.
