Company mission
To connect homeowners to the most reliable general contractors in their area and make remodelling simpler, cheaper and more predictable.
Our take
Managing a home renovation project isn’t easy. From budgeting, to finding the right people for the work you need, to finally seeing it through, it’s a long process with things bound to go wrong along the way. This is what BuildZoom aims to change, with its platform for overseeing the process from start to finish.
Its approach draws on the capabilities of both technology and human experts, providing a personal point of contact from its team of project consultants who can help to guide you through the process. Alongside that is BuildZoom’s software platform, an all-in-one spot to compare bids from pre-vetted contractors, set up meetings and manage communications throughout the process.
It operates in a competitive market, with a number of companies offering similar services, but it has seen sustained revenue and growth since its founding in 2013 and is showing no signs of slowing down.
