We are building a mobile/web application that helps contractors, homeowners, and DIY users estimate hardware needs and purchase materials directly from suppliers. Core Features: - Room Measurement Capture: Users can input dimensions manually or scan rooms with their phone (camera/LiDAR). - AI Material Estimation: The system calculates required materials (paint, tiles, lumber, etc.) with waste buffer. - Costing Engine: Pulls live pricing from suppliers across different parishes, showing cost breakdowns and comparisons. - Marketplace Integration: Users can purchase materials directly in‑app, with options for pickup or delivery. - Order Management: Secure checkout, order tracking, and delivery scheduling. - Report Generation: Professional PDF summaries with measurements, material lists, and costs. - Next Steps: Reorder history, loyalty rewards, and analytics dashboards for contractors. Tech Needs: - Frontend: Mobile (React Native/Flutter) + Web (React). - Backend: API development (Node.js/Django). - Database: Supplier/product catalog (PostgreSQL/MySQL). - AI Layer: Material estimation + cost optimization (Python/TensorFlow/PyTorch). - Supplier Integration: APIs for inventory and pricing. Goal: To create a scalable, AI‑enabled hardware marketplace that saves time, reduces errors, and connects users directly to suppliers in their parish for seamless purchasing.
