FairBuild

For homeowners

Check a quote before you sign.

Build a sample cost range for a home project, then set a contractor proposal next to it line by line. A gap is a reason to ask a question. It is not a verdict on the contractor.

How it works

  1. Describe your project

    Answer a short set of questions for the trade. Missing details widen the range instead of pretending to be exact.

  2. See a fair range

    A low, typical, and high band from sample unit costs, with the assumptions and the data date in view.

  3. Compare your quotes line by line

    Match the proposal to the scope. See what is inside the range, what is missing, and what to ask before you pay.

Snap a photo of your quote

Upload a JPG, PNG, HEIC, or PDF from your phone. When extraction is available, FairBuild drafts the line items for you. You review and edit them before anything is saved.

Uploads can be used in anonymized form to improve pricing ranges. Contractor names and personal details are stripped from that pricing data. You can delete your account and files.

Built to stay independent

  • No contractor kickbacks

    You can finish an estimate and a comparison without sharing your contact details with a contractor.

  • A range, not a verdict

    Inside, above, or below the sample band is a signal to review the scope. FairBuild does not accuse anyone.

  • Provenance on the prices

    Every sample figure names its source, date, geography, and type. Real invoices can replace the demo model later.

  • Your file stays yours

    Consent is required before an upload is saved. You can delete the account, the projects, and the files.
