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.
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.
Three surfaces, plus a regional moat.
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.
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.
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.

Same engine as a pool route. The most complex tier it can ship.
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.
Platform tier starts from $9,000 — two-sided flows, escrow, native mobile, region-specific integrations. Out in four weeks, or the deposit refunds.
Watch it run.
