UBuildIt and/or URemodelIt employs or employed a crooked homebuilder named Kent Carter. Carter built homes under the name KC Homes. We hired Carter to build what we thought would be our "dream home". Instead, he turned it into a nightmare. Kent Carter lied to us, repeatedly, about the price of materials going up. Ultimately, he admitted to embezzling at least $150,000 of our construction funds. We suspect that the figure was much higher. His construction foreman said Carter had a gambling habit and told us that was probably where most of our stolen money went. Even worse was the subpar quality of construction. Years after our home was "finished", we still deal with problems caused by Carter's poor workmanship, corner cutting and use of inferior materials. One of the selling points regarding hiring Carter was that he had highly skilled subcontractors that had worked for him for many years. His construction manager said that these subs quit working for Carter because they were not getting paid. He hired replacement subs whose level of experience and quality of work were far inferior to what we were led to expect. Frankly, knowing that this organization would employ someone who is not only a thief, but is willing to put his name on such poor-quality work--we would not hire them to build or remodel a doghouse for us. read more

They allowed me to self contract my own home with their help of making sure everything flowed correctly and checking over everything during the building process to ensure it was done correctly. read more

It was great to be in control of your home building process. However, you need to be fully aware of how much time you have to give to the project. I highly recommend their plus contract to help with that. read more

I had an excellent experience with UBuildIt. I got the exact house I wanted for the price I wanted, and even managed to squeeze in a few extras. I was always a phone call away from any information or help I needed throughout the process. A special thanks to Rob, who went out of his way to make sure everything went according to plan. I see all the negative reviews, and even discussed them with the UBuildIt staff. UBuildIt is designed to help YOU build a house; I mean, it's in the name, UBuildIt. If you're willing to do your research, put in the work, and want to save some money, then I recommend UBuildIt. read more

Great place to get advice on home building. Would recommend them. I would recommend that you go with their project management option. U can still build your home but they are more involved. read more

I have had an amazing experience working with UBuildlt! Everyone is so friendly! I have gained so much knowledge and information about building a house. I truly feel like they have accepted us as part of the Team in building our Dream House and forever home! If you are looking to build a home please check them out first! read more

U-Build-It, Total rip off The budget they provide bank doesn't even come close to real numbers. Then send you contractors that do shotty work, show up late or don't show at all. Then when you seek recourse against contractors U-Build-It provided. U-Build-It says well you selected them ??? From a list U-Build-It provided. U-build-It gets the lions share of their $$$ before your project is finished then back pedals when you're grossly over budget and can't complete your project. And you're on the hook for all the $$$ with the bank. They sell you a dream and give you a nightmare that will haunt you. read more

Do not use UBuildIt. They are too expensive and do not provide any value. They delayed my project acting as intermediary between myself and the designer. The UBuildIt team then claimed that I should have been communicating directly with the architect, and that they were not responsible for the delays. Then after a flurry of supposed contractors came in to look over the project to submit bids, the employee in charge of the project allegedly left without leaving any of the bid information. This delayed the project further. Then they gave me a pretty much worthless "construction manual" which was not tailored to the project. read more

Well at first we were impressed, but you know how some companies are. They show you all of the bells and whistles then little by little those bells stop ringing and whistles are silent. When had signed our contract and gave them the $500 they require for the start up fee then they forget all about you. It has been since November of last year and I don't think we have received three phone calls from them. Then then original sales guy left and we get a new person. Keegan? I'm not sure because I never get a return phone call. Especially after I told him I had been laid off due to Covid-19 and we were not going to be in any kind of financial freedom to build a new home. I told him I understood we had a contract but could we possibly get a pass because of these circumstances to get our $500 back. Of course I never got a call back when he said he would. Stay away from UBuild It. They are useless in every sense of the word. Thanks for understanding UBuild It during this horrible crisis. If I could rate you a -5 stars I would read more

I did a consult with u build it about six months ago. It screamed dirty car dealer, but I decided that it was all part of the process. Of course they need to sell you in order to get your business. I fully planned on using them until we found out that our new neighbors were general contractors and super awesome people. So, we will be getting an awesome deal. But that's not why I'm writing this review. I'm writing it because the other day I got a phone call from them asking me if I am ready to move forward. When I said, "actually we have decided to go with someone else." The response was an immediate change in tone-- "oh so you're going to waste money." It was really rude how quickly the switch flipped. Heads up u build it.... that's NOT how you get customers. That's how you get crappy reviews. read more

UBuild is an absolute scam. You need to understand that Bob Braudrick (AKA ScumBob) is not running a service company. He's running a sales company. The point of the initial budget meeting is not to make a realistic budget, it's to get you to sign the contract. They are going to attempt to convince you that you can build your dream house for whatever budget you have. BEWARE!! It's only a sales pitch. The consultants who should be technical experts who inspect your home are actually customer relations people. They are there to tell you they will help out in any way, but they don't actually have the ability to inspect your home. The entire staff is a sales organization. Watch out if you're dumb enough to sign the contract! UBuild It - "where it's better to have a contract than competence". If you want to build your own house, you CAN do it! But don't limit your budget by paying ScumBob. He's only going to take your money and he's absolute human debris. read more

Today I won a lawsuit against ubuildit today October 2016, They breeched their own contract numerous time and then placed a lein on my property. They use deceptive trade practice. They are a consulting firm, consulting fee is 25 - 35% above the total price of the remodeling or new construction. It is in their best interest to make the price go up after you have signed on the dotted line. read more

They made promises they could not keep. We paid them $2500 up front for their "consulting services" to plan our home build. They promised to guide us through the whole process. Keegan told us that we were approved for $160,000 to build our home and to go find the land to build on. So we set out on a search for land that we liked. Once we found the land we wanted to build our home on, we were told by the lender that we needed to apply with a construction lender. Ummm, what? Keegan never said anything about applying with two different lenders. What happened to guiding us through the process? So then we set out to find a construction lender and to our dismay we could not find any construction lender willing to work with U Build It. Even their own website stated that they work with Chase bank and our response from Chase is that they haven't worked with U Build It for quite some time now. So we couldn't find a construction lender anywhere. So Keegan tells us to use his lender- who had horrendous reviews online and many stated that they were charged upfront fees in the thousands and then were denied loans without receiving their money back. We have since cancelled our contract with U Build It and they got to keep the $2500 we gave them even though they did nothing but take our money and give us a terrible referral to an even worse lender. Save your money and find a local builder who is willing to work with you and doesn't charge you up front before they have done any work. BTW- after they charge you $2500 up front if you happen to find a construction lender to work with U Build It you will be charged a minimum fee of $15,000 for them helping you get through the building process and the only thing they do for that money is site visits and inspections as outlined in the notebook they give you. read more

Its been quite the experience building a house with U Build it. Had a rough start but after that hiccup its been a real pleasure working with our consultants. We would recommend U Build it to friends. read more

WARNING!!! Don't believe them!!! We were told budget numbers were final hard numbers but discovered they were just estimates & several differed greatly from the contractor bids that discovered I was responsible for getting myself. For examples, electric, carpentry, HVAC, floor & tile installation & porta potty all came in at higher costs. UBuildIt assured us that all contractors were screened & vetted. Out of 13 main contractors we had bad experiences with 7 including bad & sloppy work, yelling, & profanity. While some of the problems were able to be corrected with time & money, several were never fixed. Over a week after the foundation was poured, the framer came out & left stating he would be unable to frame as the foundation was missing several key requirements. There were no footings, the foundation was not level, & there was no lip to prevent water from coming in under brick. UBuildIt did not identify any of these problems during inspections. We worked with UBuildIt & the concrete contractor to fix the problems- after being assured the foundation was good to go, the framer again refused to frame due to foundation being uneven & not level. This again caused delays. After making more corrections to the slab, UBuildIt again assured us it was good to go & we would not have more problems. Framer again refused to frame because the slab was still uneven. The floor is still very uneven. Another issue- the grout in the entire dining room comes up like sand. The contractor delayed fixing the problem, & has now left the country & can't return. We paid UBI a lot of money up front to address many of the issues that we ended up having to handle ourselves. Based on the money provided to them for their process, we feel this project should have gone much smoother. The many delays cost us money to correct them, & thousands in added interest we paid on the construction loan. read more

Ubuild-It was a fantastic choice for my husband and I as we built our house over the last year. Our site manager, Glen, was extremely helpful with any questions we had, kept a watchful eye over the whole process, and was on site often during the major building. Having a detailed budget layout was very useful to keep track of spending, (though keeping on budget was tricky in some categories because we were budgeted for Oklahoma City area when we built in the north west) This company was great for us because my husband could flex his building knowledge giving us confidence to do some of the work ourselves as we created memories and saved money in the process. We set our basement forms, muscled the sand for the pad, put in the foam, rebar, and in floor heating for the pad, ran the low voltage wire throughout the house, painting of walls and cabinets, staining/sealing trim, and the fun part..clean up. If you are a manager type person and can handle large projects then I highly recommend this company. You will get to literally make the house you want because you get to choose EVERYTHING. :) read more

I have built a great relationship with Ubuildit in Edmond, OK. Their staff has been so awesome to work with and they really worked with me and helped me understand the building process from beginning to end. We were a little slow starting but once we were going they were on fire. I would absolutly recommend them! read more

I built with these guys a few years ago. absolutely the worst experience of my life. Budget is a joke. A lot of items were simply left off, and you get stuck with overages. I was under on all, and I do mean all materials. Guess who got stuck paying to get it finished? Me! After all was said and done I was 40% over on the initial budget. I had absolutely nothing to put down on it. Oh, and all of their financial people are in cahoots with them. They push you hard to use their people. I ended up selling the place because it was such a gut wretching experience. If you are thinking about doing business with them run, if you have already signed a contract and haven't broke ground, Don't! Get out any way you can! read more

HELL NO!!!! Their "approved vendors" for the exception of 1 or 2 are absolutely horrible. These crews don't show up, do shitty work that has to be re-done (at YOUR) expense & the total cost is way lower than what it will actually cost you. Keep in mind you will have to re-do a lot of it on your own & hire your own people to fix their mistakes. Stay away from this company. read more

UBuildIt did an absolutely phenomenal job with our home and we are so happy to have had the opportunity to use them. We were able to save roughly 25% on our home and gained $190,900 in instant equity. Not only was the process enjoyable, but extraordinarily educational. We walked in to UBuildIt with zero know how and were quite nervous based off of that fact alone. However, our consultant walked us through each and every step to advise us with the correct decisions before, after and during construction. Our consultant was always available to us when we needed his help and visited our site regularly. We never felt in the dark because we stayed in constant communication with them throughout the entire process and when we wanted a few changes along the way, we made sure to stay in budget. Because we used UBuildIt, we had complete control over the project and thus, were able to build EXACTLY what we envisioned for the lowest price available. Overall, it was a lot of work, but entirely well worth it! I can honestly say that we are now living in our dream home and would recommend UBuildIt - Oklahoma City to anyone who is ready to build their dream home as well! read more
