HOME BLDR: Home Building Guide

About this app

Building a custom home is the largest purchase most people ever make, and almost no one does it twice. HOME BLDR is the map.

From the first planning decisions through framing, mechanical rough-in, finishes and move-in day, HOME BLDR tells you what happens next, what it means, and what to settle before the crew arrives. No construction background required.

WHAT YOU GET AT EVERY CHECKPOINT

Four things, on every single item:

• Why It Matters — the plain-English reason this decision affects your money, your timeline or how the house lives in ten years.
• Ask Your Builder — the exact question to put to your builder, in words that get a real answer.
• Verify Before — the moment after which this becomes expensive or impossible to change.
• What To Keep — the document, warranty or report to file now, so you have it at closing and at resale.

That is the difference between a checklist that tracks a build and one that protects you during it.

STAGE 1 IS FREE

Download the app and all of Project Vision & Planning is yours — every checkpoint, every builder question, every document to collect. Not a sample, not three items: the whole first stage. Work through it before you decide whether to unlock the rest.

BUILT AROUND HOW A HOUSE ACTUALLY GOES UP

Fifteen stages follow real construction sequence, not a generic to-do list: vision and planning, property and site prep, design and layout, foundation and structural, framing and envelope, mechanical systems, interior construction, kitchen, bathrooms and laundry, interior features, garage and utility, exterior living, quality assurance, closing and move-in, and a reference library you keep afterwards.

KEEP THE WHOLE BUILD IN ONE PLACE

• Progress at a glance — see what is done, what is active and what is coming.
• Deadlines on a calendar — decision dates land where you will actually see them, with reminders.
• Photos by checkpoint — document the wall before it closes up.
• Documents and attachments — permits, soil reports, stamped plans, warranties.
• Reference images — see what a correct installation looks like before you sign off on yours.

WHO IT IS FOR

People building a new custom home with a builder. First-time builders who do not want to learn these lessons by paying for them. Owners acting as their own general contractor. Anyone about to walk a rough-in, approve an allowance, or sign a change order and wanting to know what to look at.

PLANS

What’s new

BUDGET TRACKING

Hold the money side of your build in the same place as the work.

- Set a budget by construction division
- Log every payment with date, payee and a receipt photo
- See committed vs spent vs remaining, per division and overall
- Receipts stay attached, so you still have them at closing

ALSO FIXED

- Project Timeline draws correctly again — the progress chart could come up blank after 1.3.8
- Faster loading on checklist and progress screens
