BYLD Investor Deck

AI-assisted project management for builders

Confidential · Investor deck

Problem

PMs on $2M–$10M jobs still live in spreadsheets, texts, QuickBooks exports, email, and calls.
Information is fragmented — high coordination tax; updates, change orders, and scheduling fall through the cracks.
Most failures are awareness and sequencing, not planning — teams need “what’s next,” not another dashboard.
Incumbent tools aren’t built for the project manager’s daily workflow.

Fluid user flow. PM-first: whoever runs the job moves through budget, schedule, updates, docs, and change orders in one continuous path — less re-entry, less tab-hopping.
Enhanced communication layers. Client updates, owner visibility, and team chat sit on structured job data — not scattered email and texts.
Quick capture tools. Photos, punch, field notes — capture on site in the moment without breaking out of the workflow.

Field command center — Mobile app for PMs, builders, architects, subs, and the field team — plus a dedicated in-app section for homeowners and DIYers: budget, Gantt scheduling, punch, docs, change orders, client updates, APM, team chat, BYLDRbuddy (our AI-builder assistant).
Builder portal (portal.byld.world) — Full PM on the web for desk workflows and larger screens; same system as the app.
Owner portal (owner.byld.world) — Homeowners & investors: progress, budget, timeline, photos, CO approval, punch, messaging — no internal tools.
Quick Capture — In the app: photo → punch item, estimate, schedule context, or change order draft.
APM — v1 rules/alerts → v2 adaptive → v3 predictive (delays, budget, trade scoring).

Initial wedge: custom builders, renovation contractors, boutique developers ($2M–$10M projects).
Expand to: SMB GCs, design-build, multi-project developers.
Owner portal addresses homeowner and investor demand for transparency.
Construction spend is massive; PM software is still poorly aligned with how builders actually work.

SaaS: Starter $199 · Pro $399 · Growth $699 · Enterprise (determined by size) — unlimited users.
Enterprise: ACV by build volume, per active project, or flat platform fee; onboarding $5k–$25k.
Future: BYLDintel (benchmarks, trade analytics) and BYLDcommerce (embedded procurement) on top of execution data.

Four Founders — Construction + Product + Business Development + Engineering

Lingxin Chen

Founder

Founders own Trivium Development (luxury custom + boutique development, Nashville & Central Oregon).
Three founders have built businesses in the construction industry; two actively use competitor construction software Procore and Buildertrend.

Procore — enterprise GCs; heavy implementation and price; overkill for custom residential.
Buildertrend — homeowner comms and leads; lighter on PM workflow and deep scheduling.
BYLD — PM-first, mobile, execution data + assisted guidance; two founders use incumbents daily.

Execution truth — budgets, logs, schedule deltas, COs, outcomes live in BYLD; not scrapable from the public web.
RAG — answers grounded in this job’s data, with permissions — not generic model output.
Workflow ownership and trust first; intelligence compounds with every project.

Built and validated on live jobs - BYLD will power internal projects under Trivium Development while onboarding external builders.
Alpha — app with fluid user flow, builder portal, owner portal → Beta — Quick Capture, photo estimating → Growth — iterations while expanding to all types of builders, customizable software → Scale — APM v2, cross-project analytics → Maturity — APM v3, BYLDintel, BYLDcommerce.

0–25 users: founder-led pilots on real jobs, tight feedback loop.
25–100: partners — architects, designers, accounting firms, masterminds, realtors.
Scale: conferences, podcasts, partnerships, referrals — not ads-first.
Strategy: adoption & retention before maximizing ARPU.
