I’m a contractor by trade, not a software engineer. I know what it’s like to be in the field, solve problems on the fly, manage jobs, work with other trades, and try to run a business at the same time. I also know how much easier this industry could be if the right knowledge, tools, and people were all connected.

Am I coding an entire platform from scratch with a computer science degree? No. I’m a plumber figuring out how to build a technology company, one step at a time. There will be things we get wrong, features that need reworking, and ideas that change along the way.

Gladus is being built for contractors, by a contractor, with the goal of creating something the construction industry genuinely needs—not another piece of software designed by people who have never had to use it on a jobsite.

This is a work in progress, and I’m not going to pretend otherwise. The vision is big, the learning curve is real, and there’s a lot of work ahead.

But every great project starts somewhere. This one’s starting with a plumber, a problem worth solving, and a determination to see how far we can take it.

Gladus will be better with the people it’s built for involved in shaping it. If you’re a tradesperson, contractor, or construction professional, I’d like you to be part of the journey.
