Linking construction projects and contractors

With over 20 years of experience in the construction industry, our client faced all the common pitfalls including overpriced estimates, unrealistic deadlines, and long contract negotiations. He wanted to solve these problems and make the business side of construction less complicated and more transparent by getting rid of vague pricing and unsure estimates. ⁠This is how Biderator was born.

Biderator is an auction platform for construction work that connects contractors and clients and provides them with a transparent bidding process.

The project needed to have dynamic listings that show the nearest contractors to users based on location. Moreover, the service needed to handle multiple flows simultaneously, since one user could be involved in several different Bids and should have been able to reliably control all of them. To provide users with a seamless experience we worked on optimizing pages loading time.

Proactive proposal of user testing helped the client not to go over budget and develop unnecessary features.

The involvement of numerous stakeholders on the client's side may also decrease time on meetings and approval. We evaded it by using modern facilitation techniques and old-school methods like the RACI matrix.

We also resolved the problem of scheduling meetings due to the gap in time-zones by taking videos of team meetings and sharing them with the client to watch them any time later.

We helped our client generate ideas for features that would solve users’ problems and provided the best ways to implement them. Starting from scratch, our engineers designed the architecture and began developing the web application. We used Angular on the front end and Node.js on the back end to achieve the best performance.
