Sugarland

UBuildIt Sugarland is a consulting office for homeowners who want to act as their own general contractor on a custom home or remodel. Its construction consultants help with budgeting, finding land, planning, specifications and bidding, then oversee the build from start to finish, with access to pre-screened subcontractors and suppliers. The office also refers clients to owner-builder lending sources and to designers or architects.

Clients keep control of decisions and the budget while the consultants handle the coordination, and the approach is aimed at saving 15 to 20 percent compared with a conventional build. The first consultation is free and comes with no obligation, and phone support is available 24/7 during a project. The office is in Sugar Land and serves Fort Bend County and the surrounding Houston area.
