For contractors

Prepared homeowners. Clear scopes. Fair comparisons.

Build Advisor CA gets California homeowners ready before they call anyone: a realistic budget, a defined scope, and the right questions. When they're ready to build, we introduce each project to up to three vetted, licensed contractors.

Free to apply. Every application is reviewed personally.

How it works

  1. Apply. Fill out the form below with your license, insurance, trades and service areas.
  2. Get vetted. We check your license and bond on CSLB, review your insurance and workers' comp, call your references, and set up a short call to look at recent work.
  3. Get introduced. When a homeowner's project fits your trade, area and size, we introduce you with a written scope and budget range. You bid directly, and the homeowner chooses.
