#17 - Efficiency & Cash Confidence in the Home Improvement Process feat. Jonathan Christensen (Bidmii)

Build Our Future Podcast

The process of renovating a house has well-known pain points on the side of the contractor as well as the homeowner. For homeowners, the legwork for finding a trustworthy contractor is significant, and so is the risk of losing their deposit. Contractors, on the other hand, end up handing out endless amounts of quotes while never actually landing the job and also find themselves spending all their time chasing up on payments. Bidmii is a marketplace for connecting homeowners to contractors that aims to solve these headaches, and today we have its CEO, Jon Christensen, here on the show to chat about how. Jon does an amazing job of sketching out what the process of using Bidmii looks like for both homeowners and contractors. He details different bidding, reviewing, vetting, payment, and ‘project of the week’ features the platform boasts, all geared toward building a trust-filled and seamless process from beginning to end. After hearing how the platform works, you’ll be left wondering why something this brilliant didn’t exist already! Along with all this, we also chat with John about applying lessons he learned from his past experiences in the restaurant industry to his current mission, the roll-out of Bidmii across Canada, and how the platform plans to evolve in the future, so be sure to join us for the ride!
