The project
DirtLink is a map-based network for construction sites that have or need earth material. In Calgary, contractors haul perfectly good fill to landfill while sites nearby need it — because nobody has a view across the region. DirtLink fixes that: drop a pin, list what's on the ground, and connect with operators nearby before the next truck rolls.
Our approach
We designed and built DirtLink end-to-end in four months — from brand and product strategy through a live, map-first web app. The whole experience is organized around a single regional map instead of scattered texts and spreadsheets.
- Map-based discovery — every site, pin and listing on one regional map
- Have / Need listings that match material between nearby sites
- Smart filters by material, quantity, radius, access & availability
- Direct messaging threaded to each site and listing
- Soils reports, geotech docs & site photos attached to listings
- Proximity alerts when a match appears in your working radius
- Claimed site ownership and verification
Built for field use — fast enough for the truck dash and detailed enough for the project desk. Launched in Calgary as a free early-access beta: post and browse with no card required.
