UBUILDIT
UBuildIt franchises provide a comprehensive consulting system that guides homeowners through managing their own residential construction and remodeling projects, coaching them to act as their own general contractors. Franchisees use proprietary manuals, know-how, and trademarks to offer customizable services such as evaluating land, setting budgets, procuring subcontractor bids, and conducting site visits. The target market is consumers seeking cost-effective ways to build or remodel their homes without hiring a full-service general contractor.
