Homeowners across the country know the feeling of being over-budget and underwhelmed with construction projects. According to the International Journal of Innovation, nine out of ten construction projects experience cost overruns, and a similar study by the Project Management Institute found that poor communication was the root cause of a full third of overall project failure. The data is clear: contractors and clients need to get on the same page. A new app called Nuttnest is out to change that all for the better.

Ron Nussbaum, the man behind the Nuttnest app, has over a decade of experience in the construction industry and has experienced these challenges first-hand:

“Working effectively with a client is even more important, and more challenging, than managing a construction project. The industry norm is to just accept the status quo—we are out to change that.”

For the first time, contractors and homeowners are able to connect via the Nuttnest app through chat messages, new estimates, and project overviews, among other features. Nuttnest claims that its intuitive user interface and centralization of communication will help contractors and their teams work more effectively with clients. This leads to happier homeowners, as well as repeat business and referrals for the contractor.

Until now, typical “client portal” software has been clunky. Nothing on the market has satisfied clients to the point of being happy when a project is completed. Nuttnest is able to actually follow a project’s progress with pictures, project detail reports, and contact directories that serve as air traffic control for the contractor’s phone system.

Nuttnest has just launched on the Google and Apple app stores. It’s free to use for clients and has two available subscription levels for contracting businesses. Want to try it out on your next project? Are you a contractor looking for a way to scale your client’s happiness?
