The startup has developed a customized platform to connect individuals and professionals in the construction and public works industries.

Djooman, a digital solution developed by an Ivorian startup in 2019, aims to streamline the construction and renovation process for both individuals and construction professionals in Abidjan. The platform simplifies finding reliable and skilled artisans by leveraging technology and on-the-ground expertise.

"Djooman.ci was founded upon the observation that locating competent and trustworthy artisans is a challenging and stressful experience for individuals and construction entrepreneurs," the startup explains. "Djooman provides support to individuals and SMEs undertaking renovation and construction projects. It combines an innovative digital platform with a network of local intermediaries, known as 'Project Supervisors,' who vet Djooman's partner artisans and companies, and can offer on-site assistance to our clients."

Currently, Djooman operates through a web browser rather than a mobile application. Users can request quotes without creating an account. To do so, they provide details such as property type (building, apartment, office, etc.), location, required artisans, and a project description. Uploading photos of the worksite is also an option, allowing for a clearer project overview and progress tracking through the user workspace.

Djooman's team leverages this data to generate customized quotes and recommend the most suitable registered artisans for each project, be it new construction or renovation. The platform features a broad range of professionals, including architects, interior designers, decorators, carpenters, painters, masons, and kitchen specialists.
