Is HomeBuild IQ Right for You?

Does Your Home Build Feel More Stressful Than Predictable?

Spending weeks trying to understand builder quotes, allowances &  scopes, without knowing what truly matters.

Feeling uneasy because everything sounds fine on the surface, but nothing feels clearly defined or confirmed.

Worrying that a small decision made today could quietly turn into a major expense later on.

Not knowing whether your builder’s recommendations are truly best for you — or simply easiest for them.

Feeling overwhelmed by plans, selections, and decisions you don’t feel qualified to verify, but must approve.

Hoping problems won’t surface after drywall is installed — because by then, it’s already too late.

What This System Catches Before It’s Too Late

CAUGHT BEFORE CONTRACT EXECUTION

Scope Conflict Between Plans and Proposal

Structural and finish details shown on plans were not included in the builder’s scope, leaving responsibility unclear once construction began.
IDENTIFIED DURING CONSTRUCTION REVIEW

Mechanical Decisions Locked Too Early

HVAC and ventilation decisions were finalized without reviewing layout impacts, limiting performance and increasing long-term operating costs.
