FAQ
Billdr is a home renovation and construction marketplace where we believe that transparency fosters a healthier and more competitive environment, benefitting both homeowners and general contractors.
As the company grows, people often ask us, “How does Billdr make money?” We hope to shed more light on our business model by offering a three-part answer to that question based on revenue generation, competitive pricing, and contractor service fees.
- Billdr charges a project planning fee to homeowners which ranges from $250-$650
- Billdr charges a project management fee to homeowners, which ranges from $1,250-$4,500
- Billdr charges general contractors a service fee ranging from 4-8% depending on the size of the project (The larger the project, the smaller the percentage)
We connect with contractors through three different methods:
- Direct applicants requesting to join Billdr’s network through our website
- Outreach leads are general contractors that we reach out to after seeing their quality work
- Referrals from our design partners, past clients and other general contractors
All general contractors that we partner with go through a rigorous vetting process in order to join the Billdr network. You can learn more about that process here.
Ambiguous renovation pricing makes it difficult to understand what it will cost to bring your designs to life. At Billdr, we are constantly updating our price catalog in order to give you an up-to-date estimate every step of the way. Thanks to the industry experts on our team, as well as the trusted general contractors in our network, we are able to ensure that the estimates that we deliver to you will reflect the latest in material and labor price fluctuations.
