Ilya didn't read about construction in TechCrunch. He built Reliable Construction from the ground up—320+ permitted projects across three decades. BuildZoom Score: 120 (99th percentile among 336,931 California contractors).
"I've watched this broken system hurt good architects, contractors, and homeowners for 30 years. Time to fix it."
Mike
Founder & CTO
Mike ran 100-person GC before becoming an AI expert. Together at Reliable, we compressed bid preparation from days to hours. The standardized scope that took 40 hours? We got it down to 4 hours through actual repetition, not theory.
"We already solved this at Reliable. Now we're scaling it for everyone."
We know every game because we've seen them all
The lowballer who "forgets" permits.
The change order artist.
The blame game when budgets explode.
Why We're Different
Started as painters. Learned every trade. Seen every corner cut.
The Secret: Construction English
Plain language everyone understands the same way
Understandable, detailed scopes everyone gets:
Homeowners understand what they're buying
Contractors price the exact same work
No interpretation games
90% fewer RFIs
Minimized change orders
"We're contractors who learned to code, not coders studying construction. That's why this actually works."
