Build "Buildeasy" – Labour and Contractor Hiring App for Northeast India

Project Description

We are looking for an experienced app and web developer (individual or team) to build Buildeasy, a regional digital marketplace for Northeast India, connecting customers with verified skilled workers such as plumbers, electricians, carpenters, masons, labourers, painters, and contractors.

The platform will work like a Freelancer + Urban Company hybrid, designed specifically for local communities across the Northeast — with a focus on trust, easy communication, and secure digital payments.

Our mission is to help people in Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Assam, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, and Tripura easily find and hire skilled workers, while providing steady income opportunities for tradesmen and technicians.

Project Objectives

Allow customers to post jobs and hire nearby verified workers.

Allow workers to create professional profiles, list daily or contract rates, and upload photos of past projects.

Enable secure in-app payments with escrow protection (via Razorpay or Cashfree).

Support local languages and low-internet environments for accessibility.

Establish Buildeasy as a trusted platform for worker hiring across the Northeast.
