U Build It

Your Dream Home. Our Experts. Your Instand Equity.

The Dominant Leader in Owner-Builder Services UBuildIt is the first and only franchise company to offer a national service to the owner-builder segment. Recognizing a need by consumers for help and guidance on their self-managed building projects, UBuildIt was formed in 1988 to offer solutions. Since that time we have helped thousands of owner-builders realize their housing dreams by consulting on the construction of their new home or significant remodel project. Entrepreneur Magazine ranked UBuildIt as a top Franchise 500 in 2004.

What's an Owner-Builder?
This person is a "do-it-yourselfer." They want to control and be involved in their project, they may own land, and they have a strong desire to realize the home of their dreams. This is the person that cares the most about the construction project. . 10% of new construction projects each year in the US are started and completed by "owner-builders." And this number is growing. . It can be a risky venture to attempt a large construction project on their own. Some try and quickly get in over their head. But when they have the expert guidance of a UBuildIt Construction Consultant, the fear and risk lessen, they save money, and the project can be an enjoyable realization of a dream. . The UBuildIt client is no longer just an "owner-builder." They maintain control, make the decisions, and enjoy the results without the headaches of going it alone.

The Opportunity
UBuildIt offers Franchise Partners the opportunity to take advantage of their business skills in sales, marketing and consulting without the headaches, liablitiy and risks of being a builder. Construction Consulting is less involved than being a custom builder or even a project manager. It's a great time to join us in a new market segment.

What We Do
UBuildIt Franchise Partners offer a thorough and comprehensive system to assist an owner-builder to complete their self-managed construction project. There is a definite do-it-yourself trend in this country, with more people expressing a desire to have control and involvement in their new construction or major remodel project, while saving money in the process. That means the market for UBuildIt services is rapidly expanding. Imagine the mistakes made and the dollars lost by not having the available counsel of a construction expert when trying to self-manage a project. UBuildIt provides the service, systems and software, plus the expert guidance and local subcontractors that satisfy the needs of the owner-builder. We want more quality UBuildIt Franchise Partners to offer this unique service in local markets across the United States.

What Are We Looking For?

• We want the successful entrepreneur or business manager looking for a business to grow and operate.
• We want the successful builder looking to utilize their experience and knowledge to transition out of hands-on daily involvement in the construction process. Someone who wants to offer a unique service and become the clients advocate.
• Franchising is based on a solid system. Strong candidates understand this and are willing to follow a proven program. There is comfort and support when operating a business inside of a quality franchise network.
• UBuildIt has a strong, proven business model that just happens to be construction consulting. The franchise owner does NOT need a construction background. We do require that the UBuildIt Construction Consultant have residential construction management experience, and current relationships with local, quality subcontractors.

A Partnering Relationship
Our franchising system is based on the premise that we as a company can only be successful if our Franchise Partners are successful first. We believe in a partnering relationship with our franchisees, our vendors and suppliers, our employees, an our clients. Success for UBuildIt, both corporately and for each of our Franchise Partners, flows from the success of our strategic business partnerships.

Where Are We Growing?
UBuildIt is seeking quality candidates in markets all across the United States. We want offices that will reach clients where there is building activity, and we want remodel offices in areas with an aging housing stock. Look at the research and you'll see our potential. It's a huge untapped market of over $37 billion in owner-builder projects. Our business potential is tremendous. Contact us to qualify and to determine the availability in your area.
