FAQ

Plain answers before any request path opens.

What is BuildSelect?

BuildSelect is a homeowner-first public guide for contractor screening, estimates, permits, and project decisions. It is not a contractor, marketplace, or automated matching service.

Are real homeowner requests open?

No. Real intake is off in V1-A. There is no contact form, email dispatch, database write, account, upload, booking, payment, contractor outreach, matching, routing, tracking, or PII collection.

What does screening consider?

The documented framework considers license, insurance, references, trade experience, past-project quality, service area, responsiveness, and project fit. It does not create a guarantee.

Can I send an estimate or photos?

No. BuildSelect is not collecting documents, photos, or project records through the public site.

Does BuildSelect serve my city?

BuildSelect does not make unsupported location claims. A future service assessment would consider project location and fit only after an approved, consent-based process.

Is permit help official advice?

No. Permit help is informational and not legal advice, code interpretation, engineering, inspection, licensing advice, or approval assurance.

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.
