[METADATA] Category of Proposal

Data tools

[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

If companies can have their material ordered through streamlining the estimation process it would allow for a quicker start and finish time.

A network of companies using a database of workers on a secure network would allow for quicker hiring times, and a more efficient work force.

[IMPACT] How does your proposed solution address the challenge and what benefits will this bring to the Cardano ecosystem?

By bringing hundreds of construction companies, and thousands of workers to the Cardano blockchain it would help expand its presence into real work problems.

Companies could easily have reward systems for employees using our staking technologies.

[IMPACT] How do you intend to measure the success of your project?

If mass adoption occurs, I expect this idea to transform globally.

Being a supervisor in the construction trades I have many connections with key companies in the market.

I have a developer lined up to transform my ideas into a website for my construction friends to sign up, and see my ideas.

[IMPACT] Please describe your plans to share the outputs and results of your project?

If I am awarded funding, I will use it to hire a developer right away.

We will have monthly timelines to direct our progress moving forward.

Direction from companies will be key to our success.

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability?

I have 25 years experience in the construction trades, including as a worker, as well as foreman and general foreman duties. I am a union member, and understand rules of construction.

Fund usage would be strictly regulated to development and outreach as a first step.

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] What are the main goals for the project and how will you validate if your approach is feasible?

Within the first 12 months, a small goal of 100 companies world wide, as well as 1000 workers to make up our data base would seem appropriate. That would be a good step into market.

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed breakdown of your project’s milestones and each of the main tasks or activities to reach the milestone plus the expected timeline for the delivery.

First month- Hire developer -reach out to companies and employees

6 months- Have website online with a signup for new members

12 months- 100 companies, 1000 employees is our goal

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] Please describe the deliverables, outputs and intended outcomes of each milestone.

By 12 months our website would link company’s with employees as well as a data base of wholesalers within the area of construction sites.

The sign up area of our website would allow companies and employees to follow along with the progress.

[RESOURCES & VALUE FOR MONEY] Please provide a detailed budget breakdown of the proposed work and resources.

Most initial costs will be getting all my ideas onto a website using a developer. Once the website is up and running I hope to use advertising from wholesalers and companies as a means to support the business. Bringing in cash flow from advertising would help with costs.

[RESOURCES & VALUE FOR MONEY] How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

I’m my opinion, this would be a tiny cost to possibly and potentially expand to a whole world of construction sites.

From towers in Dubai to houses in Canada.

[IMPORTANT NOTE] The Applicant agreed to Fund10 rules and also that data in the Submission Form and other data provided by the project team during the course of the project will be publicly available.
