FOR SAN DIEGO PERMIT HOLDERS

You Pulled the Permit.

Now Find the Builder Who Won't Waste It.

BuilderMatch SD is a free, private matching service connecting San Diego homeowners and developers with vetted, local wood-frame contractors — before you waste three weeks chasing the wrong people.

What we do

The San Diego Contractor Market is a Minefield.

From initial concept to final construction, we provide comprehensive architectural
services tailored to your unique needs.

Bids That Lie

You get three quotes. One is suspiciously low. You take it. Month two, a $20,000 "site prep surprise" appears. You're stuck.

Unvetted Strangers

Yelp. Google. Thumbtack. Anyone can buy a listing. No one's checking licenses, insurance, or whether they've actually built in San Diego before.

Wasted Time

Permit holders spend an average of 6–8 weeks just qualifying contractors before a shovel hits the dirt. Time is money when you're carrying permit costs.

There's a better way. And it doesn't cost you a dollar.

How It Works

Three Steps. Zero Cost To You

Our team focuses on whats important to you and we match you with a vetted builder.

Step 1.

Tell us about your project.

Share your permit details, project type, timeline, and zip code. Takes less than three minutes.

Step 2.

We match you with vetted builders.

We review our private network and introduce you to qualified, San Diego-based contractors who have the right experience for your specific project.

Step 3.

You choose. We stay out of the way.

Meet the builders. Review their proposals. Hire whoever you want — or no one at all. We only get paid if you hire someone, so our incentive is your satisfaction.

**Builder Match earns a referral fee from the contractor, only upon hire. You never pay us ever. **

There's a better way. And it doesn't cost you a dollar.
