Sound familiar?

  • Homeowners can't picture it, so they stall.

    The job is sold on imagination. When they can't see the finished kitchen, they get a third bid instead.

  • Takeoffs get redone at the supplier counter.

    Cabinet codes, countertop square footage, tile with waste — figured twice, ordered wrong once.

  • Scope creep eats the margin.

    "While you're in there…" adds days of work that never make it onto a change order.

Questions remodelers ask

Can BuildRTX show a homeowner what the finished remodel could look like?

Yes. From a jobsite photo it generates a finished-design concept you can show the homeowner side by side with the existing room — before you've spent an hour pricing it.

Does it do takeoffs for kitchens and baths?

It builds a takeoff a supplier can order from: cabinet codes, countertop square footage, tile and flooring with waste, flagged where you should verify on site.

Does it handle change orders?

Yes. Change orders are written up and approved in the app and added to the contract value, so "while you're in there" work gets billed.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — three days free, no credit card required.

Price it right. Get paid. Keep the profit.
