About

BuildFlow AI — Contractor Lead Intake & Project Operations FoundationBuildFlow AI is a professionally developed digital application foundation for residential general contractors, renovation firms and design-build teams. It combines a polished customer-facing website and consultation journey with a guarded staff workspace for reviewing leads, projects, schedules, customers, crew, materials, estimates, invoices, documentation and AI-assisted drafts.CURRENT STATUS AND DATA DISCLOSUREThe live deployment is an independent, pre-revenue portfolio demonstration. All contractor names, people, addresses, budgets, projects, records, contact details and images are fictional or synthetic. No real contractor affiliation, customers, contracts, revenue or production business activity is represented. The demonstration must not be treated as a live estimating, scheduling, permitting, invoicing or construction-management system.FEATURES• Responsive contractor website covering services, project studies, process, about, FAQ, contact, privacy and accessibility.• Three-step consultation intake for project type, scope, timing and contact details, with optional validated photo uploads.• Clear human-review boundaries: no automated estimates, commitments, scheduling promises or contracts.• Fictional portfolio and service-detail pages designed to support trust and lead conversion.• Protected staff workspace concepts for dashboard, leads, projects, schedule, customers, crew, services, materials, estimates, invoices, documentation, AI and settings.• Server-enforced guarded demo access with signed, HTTP-only, same-site, time-limited sessions.• Transactional inquiry architecture covering contact data, attachment metadata, activity, rate events, audits and notification outbox records.• Optional private attachment storage with validation, opaque object paths and compensation/cleanup handling.• Deterministic BuildFlow Guide by default, with an optional bounded AI path that has no tools and cannot send, price, schedule, approve or modify records.• Same-origin controls, rate limiting, Zod validation, security-focused upload checks, automated tests and release/rollback documentation.• Progressive enhancement and accessible public workflows designed to remain useful without JavaScript.TECHNOLOGY STACKNext.js 16 App Router, React 19, TypeScript 5.9, Tailwind CSS 4, Zod 4, Drizzle ORM, Neon serverless Postgres, Vercel Blob, Vercel AI SDK, optional model-provider adapter, Vitest, Playwright, ESLint and axe-oriented accessibility testing. A legacy Vinext/Cloudflare-compatible surface remains build-compatible alongside the primary Vercel runtime.TARGET CUSTOMERSIndependent residential general contractors, renovation companies, design-build firms, home-improvement operators, construction consultants and software buyers seeking a modern contractor lead-intake and operations foundation.MONETIZATION OPPORTUNITIESA buyer could commercialize BuildFlow AI through per-company or per-location SaaS subscriptions, tiered staff seats, white-label licensing, setup and data-migration fees, managed hosting and support, premium AI-assisted drafting, or custom implementations for contractor groups. These are opportunities only; no verified customers or revenue currently exist.CURRENT OPERATING COSTSExact current spend has not been independently verified. Costs depend on the owner's Vercel plan and any configured Neon Postgres and Vercel Blob usage. Email delivery is disabled and no live email provider is connected. Live AI is disabled unless explicitly configured and would introduce model usage costs. Payment processing is not implemented. Production monitoring, backups, identity and any third-party services would add plan or usage-based costs.CURRENT DEVELOPMENT STAGEPolished, deployed, pre-revenue demonstration and production-oriented application foundation. Public marketing pages, consultation UX, protected-workspace architecture, reviewed Postgres schema and migrations, private attachment adapter, validation, audit and outbox patterns, tests and deployment runbooks are implemented. Production promotion is intentionally blocked until environment isolation, managed staff identity, private attachment authorization, persistence verification and rollback gates pass.WHAT THE BUYER RECEIVES• Complete private GitHub repository and source code.• Original visual identity, responsive interface, code-native logo/icon and synthetic demonstration imagery.• Public website, consultation workflow and guarded staff-workspace foundation.• Reviewed Neon/Postgres schema, Drizzle migrations and Vercel Blob integration.• Validation, security controls, tests, documentation and Vercel release/rollback runbook.• Repository and architecture walkthrough, deployment guidance and environment-variable inventory without secret values.• Fourteen calendar days of reasonable asynchronous handover support for setup and deployment clarification.PRODUCTION WORK STILL REQUIRED• Provision, isolate and validate buyer-owned production Neon/Postgres and Vercel Blob resources; run migrations, backups, retention and disaster-recovery tests.• Replace guarded demo sessions with managed invite-only workforce authentication, MFA, organization membership, RBAC, account lifecycle, recovery and periodic access review.• Complete private attachment authorization, signed delivery, malware scanning, retention/deletion policy and production observability.• Connect a transactional email provider and implement templates, delivery monitoring, consent and failure handling; email is currently disabled.• Configure live AI only if desired, with approved credentials, an explicit model, budget controls, logging, evaluation and human review. Deterministic fallback should remain available.• Add payment processing only if the selected business model requires subscriptions, deposits or invoice payment.• Select and integrate any required accounting, calendar, CRM, project-management, estimating, permitting, mapping or contractor-industry services after vendor and security review.• Replace all synthetic business content and images with buyer-authorized production data.• Complete analytics, monitoring, incident response, legal terms, privacy/compliance review, accessibility validation and final production release gates.REASON FOR SELLINGThe owner is focusing on other software projects and would like a buyer to take this professionally developed contractor software foundation through production integration, customer validation and commercialization.ASKING PRICE AND HANDOVERAsking price is to be confirmed by the seller before review. The proposed handover includes the repository, original design assets, documentation, architecture walkthrough, deployment guidance and 14 calendar days of reasonable asynchronous support. New features, live integrations and ongoing maintenance are not included unless separately agreed.
