1. Name the project
Choose the closest project type and describe the outcome in plain language. A driveway replacement, backyard redesign, roof leak, panel upgrade, and kitchen remodel each call for different first questions.
2. Organize the context
Add the property location, rough area, access, timing, existing conditions, and photos. If the answer is unknown or not relevant, say so. A transparent unknown is more useful than a made-up number.
3. Request a focused connection
BuiltRad is a free project-intake and professional-connection service. If there is an appropriate fit in the network, an licensed professional may contact you directly. BuiltRad does not quote, price, negotiate, supervise, or perform construction work.
4. Handle the project directly
The professional you choose handles the site evaluation, estimate, agreement, payment, permits, warranty questions, and construction work directly with you. Read any agreement carefully and ask questions before signing.
Quick checklist
- Choose a project type.
- Write the desired outcome in plain language.
- Gather rough measurements and photos.
- Share timing and access context.
- Review the professional’s information before agreeing to work.
Common questions
How long does the BuiltRad builder take?
It is designed to take less than five minutes for a typical request, depending on how much detail and how many photos you choose to add.
Is the builder free?
Yes. BuiltRad does not charge homeowners to use the project builder or request a connection. That does not promise anything about the licensed professional’s eventual project price.
