I’ve worked in residential construction for nearly 20 years, spending most of that time in remodeling, project management, estimating, and working directly with homeowners throughout the construction process. I also owned and operated my own construction company for several years before transitioning into building PreKon. A lot of the idea came from firsthand experience sitting at kitchen tables with homeowners, walking jobs, building estimates, and seeing how messy and time-consuming the preconstruction side of remodeling can become for both contractors and clients.

PreKon was built around solving those real-world problems — helping contractors create a more professional planning process with clearer design direction, material selections, project visualization, and scope definition before the estimate is finalized. The goal is to help contractors save time, communicate better with homeowners, and create a smoother path from the first meeting to a signed project.

PreKon is a pre-construction planning platform built for residential remodeling contractors to help them control the estimating and sales process before pricing begins. Instead of spending hours creating estimates from incomplete information, contractors use PreKon to guide homeowners through layout decisions, material selections, and project visualization upfront. The platform combines photorealistic 3D renderings, conceptual 2D plans, material selection lookbooks, scope documentation, and quantified takeoffs into a single professional planning packet contractors can use during the sales process. The goal is to reduce revisions, eliminate confusion around selections, improve homeowner confidence, and help contractors present projects more professionally instead of competing only on price.

The platform is focused specifically on the biggest breakdowns in residential remodeling preconstruction: unclear scope, unfinished selections, homeowner uncertainty, unpaid estimating work, and long sales cycles. PreKon is designed primarily for small to mid-sized residential remodelers who want to offer a design-build level experience without hiring an in-house designer or architect. Long term, the vision is to create a structured preconstruction system that helps contractors qualify better projects, improve margins, shorten decision timelines, and move homeowners from ideas and inspiration into fully defined remodel plans that are ready for estimating, subcontractor pricing, and contract presentation.
