ProjectHero Launches 60-minute Delivery Service HomeRun

Construction tech company ProjectHero has launched HomeRun, a quick-commerce platform that delivers construction materials in 60 minutes.

It serves contractors, professionals, and homeowners and currently delivers about 800 products across 76 pin codes in Bengaluru.

Why was HomeRun needed?

HomeRun solves the issues faced by customers who rely on local retailers for urgent construction materials like cement, hardware, and plywood. This process is time-consuming and frustrating, with no way to track prices or availability.

Traditional vendors can't fulfill small orders, but HomeRun removes this problem by offering no-minimum-order deliveries. For example, customers needing just one or two bags of cement can now order on HomeRun without paying high transportation costs. HomeRun also delivers materials directly to construction sites on demand, ensuring quick access to supplies when needed unexpectedly or at short notice.

Satya Vyas, Founder of HomeRun, said, “Quick commerce has disrupted everything from groceries to gadgets. Now, we’re bringing that same game-changing speed & customer experience to construction. HomeRun isn’t just a platform; it’s how we are solving the massive inefficiencies in material procurement for the contractors and homeowners.”

Krishnan Neelakantan, Partner at Ankur Capital, said, “ProjectHero’s entry into quick commerce via HomeRun, addresses a critical gap in the construction market – a sector where delays can have significant cost implications. Satya and his team are leveraging their extensive domain experience and strong insights around buyer behaviour in the segment and have seen strong initial traction at HomeRun.”
