The map

It's loaded. Every dot is a house being built right now.

The typical one is a $360,000 project, and that money gets spent in the next few months. New construction only: no re-roofs, no remodels. Houses that need everything, from every trade, including yours.

  • Tap any dot and see the stage the build is at, where the county publishes it.
  • Get the owner or the general contractor, with the phone number on file. Tap to call.
  • The valuation, so you know a starter home from a four-thousand-square-foot custom.

What changes everything: timing.

Someone building a house is juggling a hundred decisions. Loans, inspections, crews that don't show up. The last thing they have time for is hunting down your trade. Build Radar tells you the moment they need you.

Exclusive

Claim it. It's yours.

With the area plan, a project becomes yours alone when you claim it. From that moment no other contractor in your trade can claim it on Build Radar. The other trades still can. Your competition can't.

  • Hold to claim: open the project and hold the Claim button.
  • Claims come with your area: 5 a week with a $150 area, up to 30 a week with a $1,000 area.
A project card in the app: the address, the owner's phone and the Hold to claim button

More areas, bigger discount

Put your areas in price order, highest first. Each one gets the discount of its place. The app takes it off by itself when you add an area, and that price stays while you keep the area. The order you buy in never changes the total. An added area bills on the same day as your other areas: its first charge is only the days until then.

AreaDiscount
1st areaFull price
2nd area15% off
3rd area30% off
4th and 5th area50% off
6th area and on75% off

Example: Whatcom ($750) + Skagit ($500) + San Juan ($500) + Island ($300) = $1,675 a month, not $2,050. The whole state, all 30 Washington areas: $6,562.50 a month, with the first month 30% off. Pay 12 months ahead for 10% more off. For the whole state, or 6 areas or more on one bill, call us.

Each area is its own plan at its own price, per month, plus sales tax where it applies. Two areas? Their claims and 3D models add up. Once you're paying, your price stays while you keep paying, even when the area gets busier. Your area's price is on the map: start free and see it →

FAQ

Questions

What do I get free?

3 real houses, with the address and the phone numbers. Pick up to 3 houses, or tap your county and we pick the 3 nearest. The map stays, with each county's numbers and price. No card.

What counts as a project?

New construction only: new houses, townhomes and new buildings. No re-roofs, remodels or decks, and nothing that's already finished.

Does every project have a phone number and plans?

Not every one. More than ten thousand have a phone number on file, and thousands have plans on file, which we use to build your 3D model and bid. The plan set itself isn't shared: it's the designer's copyright. When something is missing, the card says so.

Can other contractors in my trade call the same house?

Yes, until someone in your trade claims it. With the area plan you can claim projects in your area, a number each week set by the area's price. A claimed project is yours alone in your trade.

How is my area's price set?

By how busy the area is: how many projects are in progress on its map. 1,000 or more: $1,000 a month. 500 to 999: $750. 300 to 499: $500. 150 to 299: $300. 50 to 149: $150. Under 50, the area is not sold yet, and we tell you when it opens. We count again every month.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes, in the app. Your area stays open to the end of the month you paid for.

What if it's not for me?

Cancel any time in the app. And for your first area plan: First month back: ask within 30 days of your first payment and we refund it in full. One refund per business. Your area then closes. Not for accounts closed for fraud or reselling our data. The guarantee in full →

Is the app free?

Yes. Your free account is also a free app for your business: customers, bids, e-signatures and getting paid, in English and Spanish. It costs nothing. The paid parts are the area plan and 3D models from your plans.

More questions (12)
How do you know where the build is?

We read each project's stage from the county's inspection records, where the county publishes them, and place it on the build ladder, from site work to finishing. Filter by stage and you see only the houses that are ready for your trade.

What does "yours alone" mean?

No other contractor in your trade can claim that project on Build Radar after you. Other trades still can. Claim it and it leaves their lists — though they may have called already.

Which trades get 3D bids?

Projects are for all 19 trades. 3D bids are ready for 7 today: metal roofing; composition roofing; siding; painting; hardwood, tile & stone; carpet & vinyl; and electrical. More are coming.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Build Radar runs in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer, and you can add it to your home screen like an app.

What happens after the free look?

The map stays, with your 3 houses on it. Tap any county to see what is in it and its price. Your 3 free houses stay open for good, and so does your account. When you want the whole area, start the area plan for your county. Claiming comes with the area plan.

Why can't I see every house during the free look?

The free look opens 3 houses in full. The other projects in your county stay hidden until you start its area plan. The area plan opens every project in the area: the address, the phone numbers and the timing.

Does my price go up when my area gets busier?

No. Once you're paying, your price stays the same as long as you keep paying. If you cancel and come back later, you pay the area's price at that time.

Is sales tax added?

Prices don't include sales tax. Where sales tax applies, it's added on top at checkout, based on your billing address, and you see it before you pay.

Can I have more than one area?

Yes. Each area is its own plan at its own price. Their claims and free 3D models add up.

Does it text me when a new project comes up?

No text alerts. With the area plan you get new projects in your email each morning there are new ones: the ones that just showed up in your area and the ones that just reached your trade's stage. You pick the stages.

Where is Build Radar?

Washington and Florida today. Oregon opens soon.

What happens if I cancel?

Your area stays open to the end of the month you paid for, then it locks. Your 3 free houses stay open. Projects you claimed in that area go back to the pool a week after it locks.
