OPDB
An integrated app platform that connects homeowners looking to build houses with verified contractors, construction companies, and building material suppliers. The platform uses AI to provide ratings, reviews, and recommendations to help users find reliable construction services and avoid scams.
The Problem
Lack of a trusted reference point connecting design and execution in home construction, leaving homeowners overwhelmed by hundreds of options and contractors, wasting time and effort searching while fearing scams and unplanned costs
The Solution
An integrated app that provides construction offers, urgent building services, ratings for available offers, customer experiences and reviews of companies, and building material suppliers - all enhanced with AI recommendations
Revenue Model
Commission-based: 0.5% fee on each successful contract between customer and construction company (approximately 200-5000 KWD per transaction)

Reasoning
- 1Real problem validated: People genuinely struggle finding trustworthy contractors and face fraud risks in construction - this is a recurring, high-pain problem that people already pay to solve
- 2Potential red flag concern: The idea borders on 'aggregating businesses/stores' which is listed as overused - the core value proposition is essentially listing and rating contractors/suppliers
- 3Revenue model needs refinement: Commission of 0.5% per contract (200-5000 KWD) is viable but one-time payment per construction project means low frequency revenue per customer
Suggestions
Differentiate more clearly from simple contractor aggregators by emphasizing the AI-driven project management and quality assurance features as the core product, not just ratings. Consider adding recurring revenue streams like project milestone tracking subscriptions or premium features for contractors.
