Bulqit has soft-launched the world's first home service bulking platform, starting in select Los Angeles neighborhoods, enabling single-family homeowners to join neighborhood clusters called Bulqit Blocks to radically reduce costs on recurring outdoor services. By aggregating demand and organizing neighbors into these clusters, the company's model delivers approximately 30% savings compared to individual contracting, powered by a centralized communication and billing platform that simplifies operations for both homeowners and service providers.
The home services market has remained problematic despite numerous attempts by companies like Fixer, Honey Homes, and Thumbtack, which faced challenges including transactional focus, markup layers, reliance on freelancers, and vendor inefficiency. Bulqit addresses these issues by eliminating vendor drive time through neighborhood clustering, allowing vendors to complete more jobs daily while earning higher profits even at reduced prices. This approach creates a scalable model that benefits homeowners through lower costs and vendors through increased efficiency.
Bulqit's platform utilizes a Single Allocation Method (SAM) to fairly distribute bulk pricing across homes in a Block, similar to HOA expense allocation but voluntary and without administrative burdens. Services like pool maintenance are allocated by pool square footage, while lawn care is based on lot square footage, eliminating time-consuming quotes and bids through pre-calculated transparent pricing. The company exclusively works with professional, insured vendors who undergo rigorous verification through Google and Yelp reviews, background checks, and references, ensuring quality and accountability.
Focusing initially on recurring outdoor services including lawn care, pool cleaning, and pest control, Bulqit positions itself as a full neighborhood services marketplace with plans to expand offerings. The environmental benefits are significant, with projected elimination of up to 120,000 vehicle miles annually in Los Angeles alone, saving approximately 8,000 gallons of fuel and preventing over 70 metric tons of CO₂ emissions through optimized service routing. This reduction in redundant trips creates cleaner, greener neighborhoods while delivering substantial cost savings.
The platform provides comprehensive advantages including a single dashboard for all services, consolidated billing through one credit card, centralized communication, and fiduciary protection where Bulqit acts as intermediary to resolve vendor issues. Los Angeles was chosen as the launch market due to year-round demand for outdoor services, providing operational stability and efficient vendor routing. Starting in neighborhoods including Encino and Sherman Oaks, the company plans to expand the Block model nationwide, transforming how homeowners access and pay for recurring outdoor services while building stronger community connections through organized demand aggregation.
