Problem
Home renovation projects often suffer from poor coordination between homeowners and tradespeople, leading to unclear progress updates, misaligned expectations, and payment disputes. Homeowners must chase contractors for status updates while tradespeople juggle administrative tasks like contracts, invoices, and payment tracking, creating friction and delays that slow down the entire project.
Solution
Guildyn provides a shared workspace where homeowners and tradespeople can manage renovation projects from setup to final payment. Users create a project, invite their existing trades, and track progress through milestone-based updates with photo documentation. Each trade works under their own project agreement, and payments are released securely only after the homeowner approves completed milestones. The platform also handles contracts, invoices, and payment processing fees per milestone, reducing administrative overhead and improving project visibility for all parties.
Target Audience
Primary users are homeowners managing renovation projects and tradespeople (plumbers, painters, electricians, and other contractors) who want a shared platform to coordinate work, track milestones, and handle payments without administrative overhead.
