WHERE PROJECTS COME FROM

Real Opportunities.

1. Homeowner Intake

NYC homeowners use our software to structure their renovation before seeking contractors, stating their budget and scope before it goes out to the network.

2. DOB Intelligence

We monitor NYC construction filings (DOB NOW) in real-time to identify high-value Alteration-1 and Alteration-2 projects. We engage the owner or architect to organize the opportunity for you.

THE CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP

Why not go direct?

You still own the customer relationship.

Socio isn't trying to become your employer, broker, or general contractor. We organize the opportunity and help get you to a qualified project.

You decide whether to bid, negotiate directly with the homeowner, and perform the work independently.

To NYC Contractors,

We're building the first closed contractor network in the city. We aren't looking for everyone; we are looking for the first 10 high-quality operators to prove the model.

If you are licensed, insured, have a verifiable track record, and are tired of wasting time on dead estimates, we want to work with you.

The founding cohort fee is locked at 5%. Zero fixed costs.
