Manifest no. 001 — Operator / Builder — Long Island, N.Y.

The contractor who codes.

I'm Billy Holevas. I've spent 8+ years closing six- and seven-figure commercial construction contracts — and I ship the AI software that runs the business. Windows by trade. Code by obsession. Both in production.

Selling your Long Island service business?

I'm looking to buy one good company from an owner who's ready to step back — plumbing, HVAC, electrical, restoration, auto body, or something like it. Not a private-equity roll-up. One local operator buying one business, with the goal of continuity: the crew, the name, the customers.
