In the middle of 2018, we launched a new WorkMand. A network for the construction market. Our goal was to help companies find great subs and workers. https://medium.com/workmand/a-new-workmand-7253e4c5e50f

Much remains true. 2018 was a year of exploration, experimentation, trial, and error. We added additional trades throughout the year (masonry, drywall, and framing). Including the ability to add company information and testimonials to your profile.

One of the things we noticed. Was real estate investors are searching for contractors as well. Many times a subcontractor versus a general contractor. Renovating a property is a huge aspect of their business. To assure it’s a place people want to rent or buy. Making sure it’s apart of the community. We listened and are excited to have real estate investors on our platform as well.

2019 Updates:

Our goal is to become the market network for construction and real estate. Starting today you can sign up as a Real Estate Investor. Complete your renovations by finding the best contractor(s) for your project(s).

Example of Real Estate Investor Sign up

It works the same with a construction company needing to hire:

  1. Post your project
  2. Receive bids from contractors
  3. Hire. Review bids and profiles to determine who is the best contractor for the project

A better way to communicate

Email continues to be the one of the most popular communication forms. So we’ve brought the conversation to your email. Starting today you can communicate on projects via email. You’ll be able to respond in the dashboard. Or via email. You can find more information here.
