Business Idea
BuildSpec Connect - A cloud-based tool that integrates building product data directly into architectural software (like Revit or SketchUp) via an API, allowing users to drag-and-drop compliant materials into designs while automatically checking local supplier stock and lead times. The value proposition is seamless integration of spec writing and sourcing. Target market: architects, drafters, and design-build firms. Revenue streams: annual subscription fees per user, API usage fees for software integrations, and affiliate commissions from supplier referrals. Fits interests by linking design specs with materials and suppliers, uses AI for compatibility checks, has recurring revenue, low staffing needs, and moderate initial investment in API development.
