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, creating 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, with less re-entry and 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, captured 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, with 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.
