DabHand has changed the game in Home Improvement industry since it hasn’t been reshaped over last 20 years, and it also brings change to the very way home improvement projects come to life. DabHand becomes responsible for the end-to-end process of smooth and successful renovation for you and your contractors. Renovation is a complex and sophisticated business, but the process has not utilized technology to the extent that many other industries have to enable innovation, collaboration and communication. For DabHand, we have a unique challenge when running construction business and with dozens parties participating in just 1 renovation project, hundreds of parallel processes which should be managed, thousands calls and tons of time for management. We have been exploring this problem for the past three years and are excited about the opportunities we see to shape the intersection of technology, AI power and home improvement industry.
DabHand has focused and emerge proprietary hybrid AI technologies and construction experience in an advanced personal AI project manager streamlining business, project operations and interactions between all participants of the home improvement project. On the one hand, it brings significant values to construction companies by 3X decreasing operational costs and 2X increasing conversion rate, on the other, for homeowners it makes the process of getting home improvement services streamlined, trustworthy and transparent. At its core, DabHand puts powerful hybrid AI and variety of existing renovation application technologies into all-in-one-tool which ensures that all required stages, actions, resources are easy and under control for you and your contractors . By creating this foundational environment, we’re able to leverage existing technologies to collaborate You- DabHand – Contractors – other parties in real-time. Furthermore, we’re able to introduce new technologies that reshape the fundamentals of every renovation step like planning, budgeting, hiring, managing, completing and logistics.

DabHand seeks to answer one simple question: “What do I need to do on project right now? How?” We want to put that information into the hands of every user, using a mobile app that showcases, explains and lead you through every important step of project doing hassle and time consuming tasks instead of you. The concept in and of itself is not groundbreaking, but the prospects of using AI project manager that retrieving, structuring and interconnecting information from different sources, including professional tribal knowledge and expertise, and centralizing it in real-time, automating multiple processes and tasks which we spend time on now, getting everything you need in real time in one application DabHand, opens up countless possibilities for efficiency across the each step of your home improvement project, on the one hand, protecting homeowners from hours of hassle and over budgeting, on the other, contractors from excessive costs and time-consuming operations.
We’ve been piloting DabHand for several months on projects different by scale and complexity. Our partners, successful construction businesses like MUSK construction and MARS Construction, are just a couple of examples who have been amazing in their willingness to change keys areas of their workflow to try something new. Dozens of interviews, hundred hours of feedbacks from people desiring a renovation and experienced contractors, we believe are great addition to that as well. Within weeks of piloting, collecting feedback, getting own experience from our construction business, our engineering team was able to turn that feedback into new features and finding solutions for solving important problems for users which created a solid feedback loop for development. It’s the ideal partnership that we will continue to learn from and build upon.
Historically, the ‘business’ of renovation is arduous, complex and layered with countless forms of inefficiency. Think about it: unreal for management and control hundreds of processes and tasks, millions of people looking for and providing home renovation services, thousands stores, suppliers and service providers who may have never worked together before are trying to find each other everyday, but can’t find each other spending bunch of hours and resources for inefficiency. For complex renovation that include searching and purchasing multiple materials, collaboration with multiple vendors of related goods and services, searching for the trustworthy contractor, this adds an additional layer of organized chaos with planning, budgeting, checking the result, logistics etc. This appetite for flexibility and effective multitasking gives immense freedom to the completing project fast and with best quality, focus on result for both parties while simultaneously burdening the renovation in compounding organizational processes. Renovation as an important and big event for every homeowner, but matter of life for contractor must be supported, simplified and automated, and improving the operational elements, complex or time consuming processes that support that event are an important element of that effort. Why? It eases the burden of operational processes and tasks and empowers homeowners to get desired quality results saving precious time and efforts and contractors to spend more time contributing as skilled experts.
Many of the rudimentary processes of any business are prevalent in the home improvement space. Project management, suppliers/vendor relations, planning, budgeting and logistics, communication and interaction with homeowners, safety and security are all core fundamental business needs included within the business of home improvement services. Unfortunately, due to the complexity of home improvement environment, these needs have been underserved by modern technology. Having recognized the need, several software houses and platforms have attempted to solve for the improvement market. However, these solutions are not robust, nor modular enough, not technologically powerful and are very limited to fulfill the needs across home improvement project variables. At DabHand, synergy of proprietary hybrid AI and existing technologies make all attempts a reality by organizing a chaos into streamlined, transparent and seamless flow in one powerful application capable to handle and organize myriads of tasks, processes and variables in user-friendly and simplified way. We seek to support AI-powered solutions growth in home improvement industry by being an advocate for this challenging, yet necessary, change.
DabHand strive to support three key home improvement market initiatives: time, empowerment, and impact. Time: everyone’s personal currency. Empowerment: the feeling of significant contribution. Impact: the results of that contribution via time well-spent.
We are focused on leveraging the power of technology to enable each and every contractor, homeowner, supplier and other stakeholders and strip away the burdens of project setting, planning and managing at scale for the construction businesses. Empowering people to do their best work seamless and with the highest efficiency while working on one or multiple home improvement projects is something we are passionate about and we believe advanced technology, paired with great expertise and quality, will help us get there.
The challenges we face are many. Adoption will take some time as we tackle an environment steeped in legacy dependencies. We believe success is dependent on finding and developing solutions that equally benefit the contractors and homeowners environments. The partnership between DabHand, the tech community, the construction community and the rest parties of home improvement market is key.
