What iBuild does

iBuild, operating commercially as iBuildApp, is a privately held Brazilian online marketplace company founded in 2016. The legal operating entity, iBuild Marketing Digital Ltda. (CNPJ 28.432.520/0001-92), is registered in Campinas, São Paulo, and serves clients and service providers primarily within Southeast Brazil. The platform connects property owners and managers seeking construction, renovation, and maintenance services with verified independent contractors and tradespeople, functioning as a digital intermediation layer between fragmented local supply and demand in the Brazilian civil construction market. The company reports a headcount of 1–10 employees and is founder-owned, with no disclosed external venture investment.

The iBuildApp product surface comprises a web platform at ibuildapp.com.br and a companion Android application distributed via Google Play (package heevmomt.br.ibuild). The platform supports differentiated registration flows for clients and for service providers ('prestadores'), service request intake, provider matching that is described as executed manually by the iBuildApp team, and project initiation workflows. The technology stack was developed and is maintained by BMP Tecnologia, which is publicly credited as the platform developer. Service providers onboard with professional credentials, portfolio content, and banking data for payment processing; clients supply identification, location, and project details. Personal data is processed under Brazil's LGPD framework (Lei n.º 13.709/2018) with a designated Data Protection Officer.

iBuild generates revenue via marketplace intermediation, taking a commission on transactions facilitated between clients and service providers, although no fee schedule or pricing tiers are publicly disclosed. Both sides of the market are acquired through a self-serve, product-led growth motion: organic social media, the company's owned website, and Google Play app store distribution. Customer segments are hybrids of SMBs and individual consumers on both the supply and demand sides. Currently the geographic footprint is restricted to Brazil with operations concentrated in the Southeast region, and there is no indication of active international or pan-Brazil expansion.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Angi (formerly Angie's List / HomeAdvisor): Large US-based home services marketplace connecting consumers with local service professionals across hundreds of categories including construction and renovation. A scaled global analog demonstrating the playbook iBuildApp is pursuing in Brazil, with established network effects and brand.
• Thumbtack: US-based online marketplace that matches customers with local professionals for home improvement, construction, events, and other services. Closely comparable marketplace business model, customer onboarding flow, and category breadth to iBuildApp.
• Houzz: Global platform combining a marketplace for home renovation and design services with content and inspiration. Comparable as a destination for property owners seeking construction and design professionals, though it is broader in scope and more established internationally.

Emerging players

• Bark.com: Global services marketplace spanning professional services including home improvement and construction. Comparable marketplace model and SMB/customer base, though geographically focused on UK/US/EU rather than Brazil — useful as a peer for category expansion benchmarking.
• TaskRabbit: Online and mobile marketplace that connects customers with freelance labor for tasks including home repairs and maintenance. Comparable bilateral marketplace mechanics, with more focus on handyman tasks than full-scale construction but overlapping demand pool.

Direct peers

• Triider: Brazilian home services marketplace offering vetted professionals for maintenance, repair, and installation services. Competes directly with iBuildApp in Brazilian residential services intermediation with a similar two-sided marketplace structure.
• Habitissimo: Online marketplace (originating in Spain, with Brazilian operations) connecting homeowners with construction, renovation, and maintenance professionals. Comparable business model, customer base, and geographic overlap with iBuildApp in the Brazilian market.
• GetNinjas: Brazilian online marketplace connecting clients with freelance service providers across dozens of categories including construction, renovations, and home repairs. Direct competitor to iBuildApp in the same geography with overlapping bilateral marketplace model and consumer/SMB customer base.

Regional players

• SOS Reparos: Brazilian platform focused on connecting users with home repair and maintenance service providers. Comparable two-sided marketplace mechanics for residential services, overlapping in use cases but generally smaller scale and more focused on repair vs. full construction.

Others

• BMP Tecnologia: Brazilian technology firm credited as the developer of the iBuildApp platform. Listed as a core technology partner in the website footer and provides ongoing development services. Relevant as the primary vendor dependency and platform build partner rather than a competitive marketplace.
