How did you come up to the idea of independent home construction?
There are a lot of market players to build and construct apartments, but hard to find any specialised tech-enabled construction players in the market. It’s a gigantic market that is untapped so far. Therefore, we stepped in and decided to streamline the entire home construction process, hassle-free. We aim to become a one-stop solution to independent home construction using technology. It also became a need of the hour for the construction industry to adapt to the technology and bring more transparency to the market.
How are you different from the other players in the industry?
There are several companies and start-ups entering the home construction domain but none of them are in tech- enabled construction space. The sector is still run by the unorganised players. The technology has helped us to create a unique profile in the market. We have kept cutting-edge technology at the core of our solutions and it has helped us in the mission to build better homes faster. We have a transparent and automated end-to-end process which ensures that all major stakeholders such as customers, sales teams, architects, designers, project managers and on-site engineers as well as the quality control and accounting personnel are on the same page. Thus, ensuring everyone is aware of the status of their projects at any given time.

What’s the biggest misconception people have about you and how did you solve them?
There was a misconception among the clients that whether house joy is a real-estate player in the market. Our initial step was to propagate our distinctive business model on a tech-enabled independent home construction company. It did not take long for the people to understand the difference between our business model and other real estate players. People accepted our concept and booked over 40 projects in the early days of our launch itself. Now, the company is experiencing exponential growth year on year.
How much funding so far raise?
We have so far raised a total funding of $30.3 million, backed by investors like Matrix, Amazon, Vertex Ventures and Growth Story.
How has COVID-19 impacted your business strategy?
The unprecedented pandemic situation brought the entire construction industry to a complete halt because nobody was aware of what we were dealing with and how long the situation was going to be. Construction labour sector was heavily impacted due to the pandemic as many workers returned to their hometowns. The services resumed when partial relaxation was announced but we could not do it in complete manner. We are gradually getting there and will continue to monitor the situation since the world has not recovered from the catastrophe.
