RoDevia Brigham is the founder of Proposabid, a platform redefining how real estate owners make capital decisions. After leaving home at 14 and graduating high school at 15, she built her foundation in discipline and execution as a firefighter before spending 20 years in IT systems and infrastructure.
Today, she’s applying that background to one of real estate’s biggest hidden problems: the way projects get priced, scoped, and approved. Instead of fragmented bids, inconsistent assumptions, and decision risk, Proposabid creates structured, comparable, and defensible bid environments—giving owners clarity before millions of dollars are committed.
Focused on projects over $250k, her work sits upstream of construction—where decisions are made, risk is introduced, and outcomes are determined. Her “owner-first” philosophy isn’t about convenience—it’s about accountability, transparency, and making decisions that can stand up long after the project is complete.
RoDevia isn’t building a tool—she’s building the decision layer real estate has been missing.
