Upload your plans, set a budget, and publish to the board. Verified GCs compete for the job while your money sits locked in escrow until you sign off.

  • List scope & budget in minutes
  • Compare competing GC bids side by side
  • Release funds only on your sign-off

Is Apex Builders' bid realistic for this scope?
NEXUS AI: Apex is 26% below the takeoff estimate. Their concrete line is short ~310 CY vs. the plan set. I'd ask them to clarify before awarding.

The construction operating system

Not a marketplace — the system that runs the whole build

From the first profile to the final sign-off, every stage of a project lives on one connected platform. Discover the work, price it, fund it, build it, and get paid — without ever leaving NEXUS.

01

Company Profiles

Every owner, GC, and sub carries a verified profile with credentials, trust score, and track record — the identity layer the whole ecosystem is built on.

02

Project Gallery

Showcase finished work with photo galleries and case studies, so pros win the next job on proof — not promises.

03

Project Discovery

A live board where owners post funded work and verified pros find, filter, and bid on the projects that fit their trade and region.

04

AI Estimation

NEXUS AI prices any scope against real market data and cross-checks it against the plan set — a defensible number in minutes.

05

Blueprint Takeoff

Upload a plan set and get quantities and line items back automatically — no more days of manual counting.

06

Nexus Vault

Every dollar sits in a milestone escrow vault — visible to all parties, spendable by none until the work is verified.

07

Milestone Payments

Funds release the minute a milestone is signed off — everyone paid straight to their wallet, no ninety-day wait.

08

Project Sign-offs

Owners verify completion with photo-backed, AI-assisted review — the final gate that closes the loop and releases the money.

How a project moves

A clear, open process end to end

No hidden steps, no surprises. Every project follows the same transparent path — so owners, GCs, and subs always know exactly where the work and the money stand.

01

Owner posts & funds

The owner publishes the project to the board and deposits the budget into a milestone escrow vault — visible to all, spendable by none.

02

Pros bid openly

GCs bid whole jobs, subs bid by trade. Every bid is transparent, comparable, and AI-leveled against a defensible estimate.

03

Award & build to spec

The owner awards the job. Crews build each milestone and submit completion photos for AI-assisted review.

04

Verify & release

Once verified, the owner signs off and funds release in minutes as Nexus Credits — everyone paid, no ninety-day wait.

100%Held until verified
Fair by design

A platform that protects every side

NEXUS isn't a marketplace that takes a cut and walks away. It's an institution with one rulebook, one ledger, and one promise: the process stays open and the money stays safe for owners, GCs, and subs alike.

  • Open & transparent

    Bids, milestones, and fund status live on one shared ledger the parties can see — no black boxes, no hidden markups.

  • One fair rulebook

    The same escrow, verification, and dispute process applies to every project — owners, GCs, and subs play by identical rules.

  • Every party protected

    Owners keep control of releases; contractors are guaranteed the work is funded. Money stays locked until the job is verified.

  • Everybody wins

    Faster payouts, fewer disputes, and repeat work reward every side — a platform built so the whole chain wins together.
