Patna based start-up THIKEDAAR.COM brings comfort, efficiency in house construction, aims to expand nationwide

Thikedaar.com offers customers to build their dream house from where ever they are based on their preference for material and budget.

Concerned about the ambiguity and inefficiency in construction due to multiple reasons like the involvement of multiple suppliers, fluctuations in prices, etc. two young bright architectural minds took the initiative of introducing the Digital Revolution into the construction sector to redesign the urban and semi-urban landscape of India. Mr. Sujeet Kumar Mishra, an architectural graduate of BIT Mesra, and Jenie Singh, a graduate in architecture from BIT Mesra and post-grad in business administration from NIT Durgapur, started an online platform for construction services known as thikedaar.com and registered as Thikedaar Dot Com Private Limited.

The pandemic has made the industry come to a standstill with more than 90% of the country's construction projects facing unfair pricing, no use of smart technology, lack of labor safety measures, delays, ambiguity, uncertified experts, shortage of materials, and irregular work updates.

To solve problems like lack of labor safety measures, delays, ambiguity, uncertified experts, shortage of materials, and irregular work updates & bring transparency with efficiency in the construction sector, Thikedaar.com offers customers to build their dream house from where ever they are based on their preference for material and budget.

A remarkable algorithm taking care of the entire working of the system developed by Mr. Sujeet himself thus helping to reduce human error and more so human manipulation. Taking away the hotchpotch of employing a different person for each step of construction, Thikedaar.com provides an end-to-end service, from design to the final construction becoming a complete package for Construction Projects.

When asked about his motivation to start this company, Sujeet said that "People have very little idea about the construction & architecture but almost everyone is involved with its working and affected by its underperformance. Mostly everyone dreams to have a home in his/her life but they are also aware of the fact that constructing that is the most difficult thing to do. The heavy margin of contractors, irregularity in the materials' price, inappropriate labor management, absence of smart technology and new materials, etc. dispirit people from building their own homes or people end up building a low-quality home with very little architectural input. Even after being an expert in this sector, I was speechless when people asked me these queries, so I decided to provide them a solution."

With Thikedaar.com, one can have access to their house virtually even before its construction. They can get architectural plans, 3d views, structural drawings along with site supervision services, and assurance on the quality of materials and their applications.

Building one's own house which they can call HOME is the dream of every person. People spend so much time thinking about the design, the interiors, the structure & get emotionally attached to the place even before building it. And for this dream, everyone wants to ensure that they get it constructed by the best available builder and material with zero worries.

Through the start-up Thikedaar.com, the aim is to digitize and bring the entire process of pre-construction available online, right from material selection to payment gateways as well as periodic updates.

‘Get Construction Quote' is introduced whereby choosing the desired building materials, customers will be able to get a construction estimate before making a final decision of opting Thikedaar.com as their builder or construction partner. This helps them in knowing that how the selection of different brands affects the construction estimate and once they book Thikedaar.com as their construction partner, even if the price of the materials goes high, it doesn't affect their previous estimate/booking price. These facilities did not exist earlier as local builders used to provide packages (A/B/C) with fixed brands of construction materials. The estimate also keeps updating with the change in the price of construction materials, giving irregularity and burden on the budget of the customer.

Additionally,Thikedaar.com offers Complimentary Architectural Services to the customers from the best and qualified architects/planners/designers so that they don't miss out on an architectural aspect to build a home of their choice and thus making India beautiful architecturally and stronger structurally.

The online system of an end-to-end management & ownership of the project by Thikedaar.com takes off the burden from consumers while keeping them involved by looping them in via a live progress tracker giving people peace of mind with assurance on cost, quality and time.

Thikedaar.Com started its journey from Bihar, as the founder and co-founder recall that this move was more about its roots as they belong to Bihar. Rightly, as per expectations, the company is performing excellent from the beginning. It has been recognized as a Start-Up by the Government of India (the only construction company with an online platform to be recognized). Also, it has been applauded for design by Griha Certification.

By providing end-to-end service, both founder and co-founder aim that their company will be able to deliver a standard of living to not only the wealthy but also the more vulnerable sections of society. They have this belief that everyone deserves a habitable and well-constructed place of their own that they can call HOME. Since a user will not be charged for any other services like Design, Supervision, Structure, etc., this aim will be achieved effectively.

Leading the way in building and civil construction, they have achieved their target of 13000+ square feet build-up area, more than 61200+ square feet area under construction. They also acquired a trustworthy registration of 900+ customers in just a few months with reliable feedback for the website. Even builders and promoters have tied with Thikedaar.com for their construction services.

Now talking about the founder and team, "Sujeet is a passionate leader having a clear vision about his venture," says Jenie Singh, Co-founder of Thikedaar Dot Com Private Limited. Thikedaar.com, she adds, has shown strong traction with 2x growth since its bootstrapping. "This is just the beginning. It will capture market share from its larger rivals."
