Every construction tool is built for contractors. Daetvm is the first platform built for the person paying the bills — giving homeowners a fair bid process, transparent change orders, and a verified record that belongs to them.

The problem

Your contractor
has the software.
You have a spreadsheet.

Buildertrend, CoConstruct, Procore — these are contractor tools. The homeowner is an afterthought, given a limited “portal” with no real power. Meanwhile your budget bleeds through change orders you can barely track.

01
Change orders with no paper trail
A contractor says you approved something verbally. You have no record. The dispute costs you thousands and your relationship.
02
Bids you can't fairly compare
Three contractors, three different formats, three different assumptions. You're guessing which one to trust.
03
Budget overruns that blindside you
Nobody told you the original bid excluded permit fees, site prep, and demolition. You find out halfway through.
04
Communication in 12 different places
Texts, emails, calls, sticky notes. When something goes wrong, nobody can find who said what and when.
How it works

One platform.
Two sides. Total clarity.

whole process.

02
