Our streamlined process creates a clear scope of work and pairs you up with a BuildZoom construction pro to help you orchestrate it all, so you can focus on the other important details of your work. We will do the heavy lifting so you can focus on your Business and not construction.
Had a great experience with BuildZoom - they got me three bids for the buildout of a leased space. The contractors were all professional, and the process was well-managed. Our project consultant was proactive about checking in and making sure that things were moving along in a timely fashion.

I can say that during the time I’ve handled franchisees during the build-out process, there is a LOT that needs to be done and overseen to make it a seamless process from permitting up through handing you the keys. So far BuildZoom is the only service I’ve run into that tries to make that process simpler, more efficient and more informative for the franchise so you can make the most informed decision on who to trust with building your studio.

Your questions answered
Lists is FAQs related to our Residential Construction Process
How do you match contractors?
We use experience, relationships, reviews, and data to find you the perfect contractor. We collect and analyze lots of construction data — over 3.5 million contractor licenses and 200 million building permit records across the US. This information gives us deep insight into who’s done what type of work, where, and for how much. From here we look at reviews and vet and interview candidates. Our recommendations are not only great contractors, but they are the right great contractor for your job.
How much does it cost to use BuildZoom?
BuildZoom's contractor sourcing and vetting service is completely free. Every project gets a dedicated project consultant who will help get things in place so you have the information you need to make an informed hiring decision. We also have a paid premium service where a BuildZoom engineer will personally review plans, create proposal comparisons, and help cut costs. Learn more about our premium service here.
Do you handle the actual construction of my project?
BuildZoom is not a contractor. We are a consultant that helps you through the construction process. We help you plan and help you build a team to ensure the success of your project. We believe in the Abraham Lincoln saying, "If you give me six hours to cut down a tree, I would spend the first four sharpening the axe." Our goal is to sharpen the axe, so you are set up for success.
Can you help me get financing?
We will make an introduction to our recommended lenders and help put together your lender packet, which will make the process easier, speed it up, and increase the likelihood of success.
When is the right time to come to BuildZoom
We work with people throughout the entire preconstruction process. If you're preparing to undertake a construction project and need an architect, designer, and/or contractor, we can help you make an informed decision.
