The Platforms

Two platforms. One industry.

DeBe Corporation builds two products for the skilled trades — one to run the work, one to run the community. Both start with the field worker and build upward. Here's everything they do, marked honestly.

CHERP

Construction Hierarchy, Engagement & Resource Platform

Every other tool in construction pushes information down from the office — Procore, BIM360, SharePoint, all built for project managers. None reach the individual tradesman. CHERP builds the record from the bottom up — starting at the field worker and building upward to the foreman, the superintendent, and the office. The number that reaches the top finally reflects what happened on the ground. Accountability, both directions.

    SiteComm

    Where the Skilled Labor Talks

    CHERP runs the work. SiteComm runs the people. It's a worker-owned social network built for the trades — pride, brotherhood, recognition, and support. A place to post a win, throw a shoutout, ask the question you didn't want to ask the foreman, share the jobsite shot, and — on a rough day in an industry that loses too many of its own — reach a trusted circle and real resources without making a scene. Not built top-down by a tech company. Built for the craft, owned by the people in it.

    Android app available now (offline-capable) · cloud community backend in progress
    What SiteComm Does

    The feed that respects the trade.

    The app is in your hands today; the shared community backend is being stood up now. Here's the surface — and how we mark what's shipping versus what's coming.
