Nivo is an AI contractor. Design your remodel in the app, pick materials, and watch the price update live. Then our AI agents file the permits, coordinate your architect, designer, and trades — in any language — and run the build. The savings go to you and the crews.
A general contractor is mostly an office relaying messages between people who don't share a language. Nivo's AI sits in the middle instead — keeping your architect, designer, and every subcontractor in sync.
The architect writes a change in English; the framer reads it in Spanish, the electrician in Mandarin, the plumber in Polish — translated in real time, with nothing lost between trades.
Permitting is where most remodels lose weeks. Nivo's agents read your plans, match them to local code, assemble the full application, and e-file it with your city.
When a reviewer sends corrections, the AI drafts the response and revised sheets the same day — then books inspections the moment it's issued. You don't chase city hall. The system does.
A great contractor walks the site once a day. Nivo watches it continuously — scheduled drone flights and computer vision track progress per trade and flag problems before they cost you a week.
Best practices from thousands of builds become scenarios our coordinators rehearse until the right call is second nature — a failed inspection, a no-show crew, a code change mid-pour.
Every good decision becomes a reusable play the team and the AI follow on the next job. That's how the quality stays identical whether it's build #5 or build #5,000.
And before anyone sets foot in your home, they're properly vetted — licensed in their trade, background-checked, and authorized to work here. The crews on your project are people we'd trust on ours.
Rain delays the foundation pour. Electrical is booked for tomorrow and the inspector slot is locked. What ships first?
A general contractor needs to capture ~40% of what you pay because they run a handful of jobs by hand. Nivo keeps a fair ~15% and lets the AI, the drones, and trained crews run hundreds of builds at once. Smaller cut per job, far more jobs — a real business, and a better deal on every single one.
You make the choices in the app. Nivo's AI does the work a general contractor's whole office used to do.
Pick your layout and materials and watch the itemized price and timeline update live. Get a real quote in minutes, free.
Agents file permits, line up your architect, designer, and vetted crews, order materials, and lock the schedule.
Drone-verified milestones and daily photos. You pay as each part is finished — never everything up front.
Configure something small in the app to see the quality and how it feels — then scale up to the big project when you trust us.
Illustrative starting points. Your real, itemized price is configured to your home in the app — start small, scale up when you trust us.
A big contractor is a sales office that captures ~40% of what you pay. Nivo's AI does that coordinating instead — and the freed-up margin goes both ways: to you, and to the people doing the work.
The subcontractors and workers take home more than they do today — not less. Everybody wins except the middleman.
Illustrative example on a representative $120k remodel — not a quote or a guarantee. Your actual price and savings depend on scope, materials, and site conditions.
Nivo is just getting started. We're taking on a limited number of founding projects so every build gets our full attention — and so early homeowners help shape how it works.
Early-access rates, itemized and held for your project — no surprise change orders once you commit.
You work with the people building Nivo, not a call center — and your feedback shapes the product.
A small cohort means closer attention on every permit, milestone, and inspection.
Minutes. You configure your remodel in the app — layout, cabinets, counters, finishes — and Nivo shows a full itemized price and timeline as you go. No three-week wait for an estimate that changes later.
Nivo's AI does. It bids, schedules, and coordinates each subcontractor directly — translating between English, Spanish, Mandarin, Polish and more in real time — so the architect, designer, and every crew stay in sync without a middleman.
Yes. Nivo's agents assemble your permit set, match it to your city's code, file it, and follow up on corrections and approvals — so paperwork doesn't stall your build.
Scheduled drone flights and computer vision track progress per trade and verify each milestone by what the camera sees. You get time-stamped photos and a live status, and approve each stage before the next begins.
The opposite. The margin a contractor used to keep is split between you and the trades — the crews take home more than they do today, not less, and get paid faster on verified milestones.
We're taking on a small group of founding Bay Area homeowners. Book a time to talk to a founder — we'll show you what we're building and how we'd approach your project. No obligation, no pushy sales.
