Compare my estimates
Compare the work behind the number.
An estimate comparison should make scope, allowances, exclusions, sequence, and decision questions visible—not reduce a home project to its lowest total.
Scope
What this service is for.
Future manual guidance may help homeowners read estimates side by side and identify meaningful differences. BuildSelect does not prepare bids, negotiate them, or choose a contractor.
Estimate guidance is not legal, engineering, inspection, licensing, construction-management, appraisal, procurement, or financial advice. It does not establish fair pricing or project feasibility.
What to expect
A clear process, led by people.
A plain-language framework for scope, materials, allowances, exclusions, schedule, payments, and warranty terms.
Questions that help make unlike estimates easier to discuss.
A homeowner-controlled review with no documents shared or stored through this public site.
- 01
Identify the project decisions that should be comparable.
- 02
Review each estimate against the same visible categories.
- 03
Use the differences to ask focused questions directly with each contractor.
Questions & boundaries
Useful context, not a promise.
Can BuildSelect tell me which estimate is best?
No. It can frame questions and trade-offs; you decide which proposal and professional fit your project.
Can I upload estimates here?
No. Uploads and document collection are not active in V1-A.
Why is BuildSelect public-only right now?
The public foundation explains the service approach before privacy, consent, and operations are approved for real requests.
Does BuildSelect sell homeowner information?
No. BuildSelect does not sell homeowner details and does not share them with contractors without homeowner direction and consent.
Is guidance a guarantee?
No. Screening and guidance inform homeowner decisions. They are not a warranty, guarantee, or assurance of availability, pricing, credentials, workmanship, or outcomes.
