It's important that both parties clearly understand their role in the process. This page lists the duties of both of us... so you can have a good idea of what to expect along the way.

Please note that your required time commitment to the project will depend on which service level you choose. For those with less time available, our UBuildIt Plus service may be a good fit. For those with more time available and who want to be more involved, our UBuildIt Classic service may be better. Click here for details.
