Do It Yourself
Home Remodel On Budget
When you work with a UBuildIt Construction Consultant, you can be confident that your project will come in very close to the original budget. That's because we "know the ropes" and can guide you to every cost savings available, including:
Plan Development — Our relationship with architects and designers provides several benefits including fewer plan revisions and designs more attuned to your budget goals which can result in savings. This means fewer mid-project changes which helps to keep you within your budget from the very beginning.
Material Discounts — You'll pay for all building materials directly to the supplier with "open book" invoicing, which eliminates markups. Many suppliers give our clients "contractor pricing" and other discounts due to our volume purchasing.
Contingency Savings — When a contractor prices a project they typically include an extra percentage to cover cost overruns, which may become extra profit for them. With UBuildIt, if the project goes as originally planned, this money goes back into your pocket, not ours.
Personal Involvement — As a UBuildIt Client, you, or your friends and family, can contribute some of the skilled or unskilled labor to realize additional savings and control. This is a direct savings to you that is not available with a traditional remodeling contractor.
Project Costing — Our process of collecting bids prior to construction results in accurate project costing. Our recommended subcontractors provide the best mix of quality, value and reliability. You may also obtain bids on your own using UBuildIt as the benchmark, which can result in additional savings.
Minimize Mistakes — People remodeling on their own often make mistakes due to lack of experience and the overall complexity of the remodeling process. When you go with UBuildIt as your partner, mistakes are reduced and you save money.
Change Orders — As your project progresses you may want to make changes. These changes can carry a high markup when working with contractors. With UBuildIt you pay the actual cost of any changes with no markup, penalty or margin. Plus, your Construction Consultant can help establish fair costs for those changes and how they impact other budget items.
