Okay,so you’re considering remodeling your own home –but you have some questions. You’ve come to the right place,because here are some answers:
Q:Do I Need Previous Construction Experience?
A:No. Our job is to guide you every step of the way,including regular site visits during your construction process. You never have to lift a hammer or get your boots dirty (or even wear boots for that matter)!
Q:How Much Money Can I Save
A: Builder margins typically average 35%to 60%,which goes into your pocket when you manage the project yourself,minus our project fee. You can either pocket the savings (instant equity!) or use the money to remodel a bigger home and/or one with more amenities.
Q: Will I Be Doing Any Of The Actual Work?
A:You will be managing the process —mostly by cell phone. Though some of our clients want to “get their hands dirty,”you don’t have to pick up a hammer. You’ll be hiring contractors (with our recommendations and contacts),but if you want to hire yourself to do some of the work,you can certainly do that!
Q:What Role Does UBuildIt Play,Exactly
A:We provide the construction expertise. We have access to suppliers,subcontractors,and financial providers. We visit the job site 6 to 23 times (depending on complexity of the project) to make sure the timing and scheduling are on track,and to view the work and prevent and/or catch any problems. In short,we’re your hands-on construction consultant.
Q:How Much Of My Time Will This Require?
A. If you were to hire a remodeler,you’d still have to work through the design,choose the materials,and make certain decisions during the remodeling process. With UBuildIt,you will manage your own project,so you’ll be coordinating subcontractors and making decisions (with our help,of course)! You should expect to allocate 5 to 10 hours per week toward remodeling your home during the construction.
Q:How Do You Get Paid?
A:We get paid a project fee that is equal to a percentage of the total remodel job. Our fees vary depending on the complexity of the project;we’ll be happy to give you an exact quote after meeting with you to determine your specific needs. You can count on our fees being MUCH lower than the markup you’d pay a contractor —which gives you more equity.
