contractor marketplace · reference build · preview (SSO-gated)

A regionally-defensible marketplace, end to end.

A two-sided home-services marketplace with Stripe milestone escrow, atomic role-based provisioning, multi-county permit-portal integrations, a regionally-defensible Storm Mode, and native iOS and Android wrappers. Built as the Platform-tier reference for B2B2C marketplaces in coastal markets.

This is a reference build, not a paying tenant — the preview is SSO-gated. Ask on the intro call for a guided walkthrough and we’ll screen-share the full operator, contractor, and homeowner flows live.

The problem

Marketplaces are the hardest thing to ship — and the easiest to clone.

A two-sided marketplace needs escrow, role-based provisioning, dispute handling, and native mobile before it does anything useful. And once it exists, a generic out-of-state competitor can copy the surface. The job was to prove the system can ship the hard part — and to wire in region-specific moats a clone can’t cheaply reproduce.

The build

Three surfaces, plus a regional moat.

Homeowner

Public + customer surface

Marketing site, scope-builder tool, license + permit + HOA lookups, request-a-bid flow, an escrow-managed project dashboard, plus native iOS and Android wrappers for the mobile-first audience.

Contractor

Pro surface

Onboarding with license + insurance verification, a lead inbox, bid management, a milestone-tracked job board, a payout dashboard, and a Storm Mode opt-in panel.

Operator

Admin + marketplace ops

Atomic role-based user provisioning, escrow dispute resolution, lead routing, county-permit data pipeline ops, a NOAA storm-tracker control room, 4-channel notify fan-out, and analytics dashboards.

What was actually built.

  • Atomic role-based user provisioning in a single transaction
  • Stripe milestone escrow — funds held, released per phase signoff
  • Bid request → contractor matching → quote → award flow
  • License + insurance verification gate on contractor onboarding
  • Multi-step project state machine, request through close
  • Dispute escalation with an operator-facing resolution panel
  • NOAA storm RSS + active-storm RPC feeds (Storm Mode)
  • Pre-approved Storm Mode contractor panel with on-call opt-in
  • One-tap mobilization across SMS, email, push, and in-app
  • Lee County Accela permit-portal scrapers
  • Collier County CityView integration
  • Charlotte County ePermitting bridge
  • Free tools shelf — 9 public lead-magnet tools
  • Native iOS + Android wrappers via Capacitor with push
  • Supabase Postgres with 14 numbered SQL migrations
  • Vercel hosting with preview deploys per branch

Same engine as a pool route. The most complex tier it can ship.

By the numbers

A real marketplace, with real defenses.

Buildbridge proves Day14 can ship the most operationally complex tier — two-sided marketplaces with escrow, native mobile, and region-specific integrations that lock out generic competitors. The Storm Mode and multi-county permit pieces are non-trivial to reproduce and locally defensible for years.
