Start A UBuildIt Franchise

UBuildIt shows people how to build or remodel their own fully custom home and save up to 30% or more versus hiring a quality general contractor, and you don't need any construction experience to manage your project and watch your dream custom home come to life. You manage the project, we are the system. You make all the decisions on design, materials, finish, labor... we provide the expertise, the experience, the subcontractor contacts, and the contacts for financing and materials. Working together, we will plan out every last detail of your project and conduct site visits with you during construction to ensure that your job gets done right, on time, and on budget. Our goal is to get you exactly the home you want for the price you want. Not to mention you can move in with substantial instant equity or add major upgrades that you might not be able to afford with a traditional builder.
