Before
AI design
A real kitchen photo and its AI design. Drag to compare.
How it works
From one photo to a priced plan, then to contractor bids.
Real screens from the app. Use as much of it as you need: stop at the design, shop the list yourself, or post it for bids.
-
Snap a photo
Take or upload a photo of a room, an exterior, or a yard. Pick the room type and a style.
-
See it redesigned, then refine it
Get a photorealistic redesign in minutes. Describe a change in your own words, or tap Flooring, Lighting, or Tile. Every version is saved.
-
Get the materials and cost
Each saved design gets an itemized list with quantities and prices: live retailer prices where we find a match, marked estimates where we don’t. Open any item at Home Depot or Amazon.

Example bid
Post it for bids
Add a budget range, a timeline, and your ZIP. Contractors who cover your ZIP bid on your design and list with an estimate, a timeline, a proposal, and suggested material changes with reasons. Compare, message, and accept the one you want.
Bids open area by area as local contractors join. Your ZIP opens once two contractors who cover it have signed up. Not open yet? Tap Notify me and the app tells you when you can post.
Try it on your own space.Free to start. No card needed.
Real photos, real AI designs
Same space. New plan.
Each one starts from a single photo. Drag the handle to compare.

AI design
Left: the original photo. Right: the AI design.
A design is a preview to plan with, not a blueprint.
Why homeowners use it
Plan it, price the materials, then decide who builds it.
Know the materials cost before the first estimate
Every saved design comes with an itemized materials list: quantities, prices, and a total. You start the first contractor conversation with a number for materials, not a guess.
Bids you can actually compare
Where bids are open, every contractor bids on the same design and the same materials list, so you compare like with like. When they suggest a different material, they tell you why.
You stay in control
Your street address is never shared. Contractors can’t message you unless they’ve bid on your project, and you can block and report anyone.
Doing it yourself? Skip the bids.
DIY is a full path, not an afterthought. Design it, get the list with quantities, and open each item at the retailer to buy it. No contractor required.

When you post a project
What contractors see, and what they don’t.
Posting a project and getting bids is free on every plan. Here is exactly what gets shared.
Contractors who cover your ZIP see
- Your photos and your AI design
- Your materials list
- Your budget range, timeline, and description
- Your city and roughly how far away you are
They never get
- Your street address. It is never shared.
- A way to message you before they bid. Only contractors who bid on your project can message you.
- Contact after you block them. You can block and report any contractor.
One thing we don’t do yet: contractors enter their own license details, and BuildIt AI does not verify licenses. Check a contractor’s license with your state before you hire. After the job, you can leave them a review.
For contractors
Remodel jobs that come with the plan.
- Projects inside your service radius arrive with photos, an AI design, a materials list, a budget range, and a timeline.
- Free to join. Bidding is free during launch: no lead fees, no subscription.
- An area opens to homeowners when two contractors cover it. You can be one of the first two.
Questions, answered plainly.
What does it cost?
The app is free to download, and the free plan includes a monthly allowance of AI designs. No card needed to start. Posting a project and getting bids are free on every plan. Paid plans raise the design limit; prices are shown in the app and on the App Store and Google Play listings.
How do bids work?
Post your project from a saved design and add a budget range, a timeline, a description, and your city and ZIP. Contractors who cover your ZIP see it and send a bid: an estimate, a timeline, a short proposal, and any material changes they suggest, each with a reason. Compare the bids, message the contractors who bid, and accept the one you want. After the job, you can review the contractor.
Are there contractors in my area?
Maybe not yet. Bids open ZIP by ZIP: a ZIP opens once two contractors who cover it have joined, and contractors are only starting to join. If your ZIP isn’t open, tap Notify me in the app and it will tell you when you can post. Everything else (designs, refining, materials and prices) works anywhere in the US today.
Does BuildIt AI check contractor licenses?
Contractors enter their own license details, and the app shows them as self-reported. BuildIt AI does not verify licenses yet, so please check a contractor’s license with your state before you hire.
What do contractors see about me?
Your photos, your AI design, your materials list, your budget range, timeline, and description, plus your city and roughly how far away you are. Never your street address. Contractors can’t message you unless they have bid on your project, and you can block and report.
How accurate are the designs and the prices?
A design is a detailed preview, not a blueprint; the finished room depends on the materials and the work. On the materials list, items show live retailer prices where we find a match and are marked as estimates where we don’t. Treat the total as a planning number, not a quote.
What kind of photo do I need?
A clear, well-lit phone photo of the whole area works.
I want to do it myself. Is it still useful?
Yes. Design it, get the materials list with quantities, and open each item at Home Depot or Amazon to buy it. You never have to post for bids.
Is there an Android app?
Yes. BuildIt AI is free on Google Play, as well as on the App Store for iPhone and iPad.
Is it available outside the US?
Not yet. BuildIt AI is US only for now: prices come from US retailers, and bids are by US ZIP code.
Something else? Email [email protected].
Start with one photo.
See the redesign, get the materials and cost, and post it for bids when your area opens.
