“We believe that at-home project builders are some of the most innovative and passionate enthusiasts on the planet. We’ve observed that, sadly, they frequently struggle to find reliable and actionable information that helps build their projects—leaving them frustrated and unable to finish their work.
We aim to help this underserved and high-opportunity market by providing a one-stop platform that connects those working on similar projects and allows them to share their knowledge and experience in the most time and cost-effective way possible.
At Buildz.pro, we want to keep building awesome.”
Mike Laverick, Buildz.pro Founder
Executive Summary
Today’s project enthusiasts often experience difficulties searching for information when building a project or purchasing aftermarket products. Many targeted questions arise and are often left unanswered due to the inconvenient lack of a reliable platform. These individuals also don’t find what they need on popular sites such as Facebook and Instagram, as these have far more people asking questions than finding answers.
Queensland’s Buildz.pro is a social content platform that effectively addresses these problems for project builders and enthusiasts, allowing these users to get the information they need from one convenient place quickly. It encourages them to catalogue their offerings, services, knowledge, and experience throughout the entire life cycle of their projects whilst providing a low friction path to make actual purchases.
