The Complete Build Platform · DC · MD · VA
Your project gets built here.
Kealee is not a contractor. We are the platform that coordinates every licensed professional — architect, engineer, GC, and specialty trade — from your first design concept through your final inspection.
Every professional on your project is vetted, licensed, insured, and onboarded to the Kealee platform. You never source or negotiate with professionals independently.
Every professional on your project is a Kealee platform member
Licensed Architects
Concept review, permit-ready drawings, design development
PE / Structural Engineers
Structural calculations, PE stamps, load-bearing assessments
General Contractors
Licensed, insured GCs matched by project type and location
Specialty Trades
Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and MEP contractors on-platform
Platform professionals are background-checked, license-verified, and carry active insurance. Kealee does not allow unlicensed or uninsured professionals on any project.

Contractor Matching
We match you.
You don't browse.
Kealee does not operate a contractor directory. When your permit is approved, we match your specific project — scope, location, budget, and timeline — to 3 vetted GCs on the platform who are qualified and available for your job.
Every matched GC has been background-checked, license-verified, insured, and onboarded to the Kealee platform. You receive competitive bids from professionals we stand behind, not a list of strangers.
Learn About MatchingWe receive your permit approval
Once your permit is approved, Kealee initiates the matching process automatically. No action needed from you.
We identify qualified platform GCs
Our matching algorithm screens platform GCs by license type, project history, location radius, capacity, and specialty trade requirements.
3 GCs receive your bid invitation
Matched GCs are invited to submit a bid. They receive your approved drawings, scope summary, and permit details.
Kealee reviews every bid
We review each bid for completeness, accuracy, and fair pricing before it reaches you. You receive a comparison report, not raw bids.

Payment Protection
Your contractor gets paid when the work is done.
Kealee's milestone payment system means no contractor — even a platform professional — receives payment before the work is verified.
Milestones agreed upfront
Draw amounts and milestone definitions are agreed in writing before work begins. Your GC knows exactly what must be complete before any payment releases.
Build manager verifies each milestone
Before any payment releases, your build manager visits the site, confirms the work matches approved scope and drawings, and issues a verification report.
You approve. Then it releases.
You receive the verification report, review it, and approve the release. No payment moves without your explicit approval and Kealee's confirmation.
Start at Step 01
Start with a concept.
End with a built project.
Every Kealee build starts with an AI concept. It takes 3 minutes to submit. You receive your design package, cost estimate, and permit scope in 3–5 days. That package is the foundation for everything that follows — drawings, permit, contractor match, and build.
You do not need plans, drawings, or a contractor to start. The platform walks you through every step.
