DreamBid
DreamBid turns a residential address and a homeowner’s idea into a visual, scoped, feasibility-aware home-improvement project with contractor bids that can actually be compared.
Core trick
Generates a 3D renovation scene from a property image, where editable features update budget and feasibility, then audits contractor bids against the scope.
Description
DreamBid turns a residential address and a homeowner’s idea into a visual, scoped, feasibility-aware home-improvement project with contractor bids that can actually be compared.
A homeowner enters an address, uploads optional photos, describes what they want, and sets a budget. GPT-6 Astra reasons over the homeowner brief, property imagery and structured site context to generate renovation concepts and a persistent ProjectSpec.
The homeowner can then interactively customize the design by adding features such as pools, pavers, outdoor kitchens, pergolas and putting greens; moving and resizing them; and seeing preliminary budget and feasibility impacts update in real time.
DreamBid uses deterministic geometry and Blender rendering to keep the visual plan connected to the underlying scope. Astra can then revise the project from natural-language instructions and audit three contractor bids against the exact project specification, identifying exclusions, allowances and missing scope.
The long-term vision is an AI pre-construction platform that takes homeowners and contractors from address → idea → feasible design → scope → bid → build.

[Transcript and recording details](docs/DEMO.md#recorded-product-walkthrough).* **From address, to idea, to buildable project, to bid.** DreamBid helps homeowners explore a backyard renovation, shape its layout and budget, and compare contractor proposals against the same scope. It connects visual inspiration to a structured project so the design, feasibility checks, and bid comparison stay together. **[Try the hosted demo](https://dreambid-mocha.vercel.app/)** · [Run locally](#run-locally) · [Demo guide](docs/DEMO.md) · [Development log](docs/DEVELOPMENT.md) Built from scratch for the GPT-6 Astra NYC Hackathon on September 10, 2026. This is a working prototype: installed prices are preliminary, contractor bids are synthetic, and feasibility is subject to professional verification. ## The experience 1. **Start with a property.** Enter a U.S. address, project goal and budget; optionally upload backyard photos.
