BuildAHouse frequently asked questions

Straight answers about what the product does, what it needs, and what it will not pretend to know.

Upload your plans
What files can I upload?
BuildAHouse accepts PDF plan sets and common plan-image formats. A complete set is more useful than isolated floor plans because construction scope often depends on structural, roof, schedule, MEP, and detail sheets.
Does BuildAHouse replace a contractor, estimator, or engineer?
No. It is an early planning and coordination tool. Final quantities, code compliance, engineering, procurement, and pricing must be verified by the appropriate professionals.
Can BuildAHouse identify plan conflicts?
Yes. The workflow includes document-control and revision-conflict checks. When controlling values conflict, the report can flag the issue and block pricing rather than silently choosing a value.
Will it give a quantity even if the plan is incomplete?
No. Where geometry, assemblies, engineering, or other required evidence is missing, BuildAHouse is designed to return TBD or identify the missing input instead of inventing precision.
What does the $49 report include?
A plan-based construction scope and material takeoff report with confidence and missing-information controls, plus PDF and JSON exports. The report is for budgeting and coordination, not final construction authorization.
