MakeSpec
Eliminating Uncertainty in Home Renovation
Presents the future of the home improvement process.
There is inevitably a gap in information between the homeowner and the contractor. Homeowners present requirements in the form of designs or images and add abstract expectations. Unfortunately, however, most contractors do not have the tools to clearly specify homeowners’ needs. If homeowners can first present clear requirements to contractors, information asymmetry will be reduced. The MakeSpec is a network-based platform that should enable homeowners to first exactly define what they need or want and then share it with multiple contractors.
Recent homeowners said an important factor in choosing a real estate agent was the ability to help them decide which renovations to make to help sell at or above listing price. In these trends, we note that real estate agents can replace the role of homeowners in the home improvement market. The MakeSpec is a tool that enables real estate agents to guide prospective sellers more specifically.
‣ Homeowners can review more estimates, so they can make more accurate forecasts, and ultimately get a better ROI.
‣ Contractors can reduce market access costs by getting more leads for free and estimating prices without in-person visits.
‣ Real estate agents can not only win listings for sale, but may also use renovation details to encourage prospective buyers to make purchase decisions quickly.
‣ Retailers can interface with the MakeSpec to share price information and forecast demand for materials.
