Frequently asked questions about new construction projects
We support ground-up residential construction as well as small commercial builds. That includes projects like new single-family homes, additions or ADUs, and franchise location construction. If your project requires coordinating multiple trades, a defined set of plans/specs, and a builder selection process, Block is here to help.
Yes—franchise projects can be organized around your brand’s standards, required specs, and any prototype documentation. We help keep brand guidelines, finish schedules, equipment requirements, and vendor constraints aligned so the build stays compliant. The goal is to reduce rework and keep approvals and decisions moving so you can open on schedule.
For most ground-up projects, you’ll need architectural plans (and often engineering) before a builder can price and build accurately. If you already have an architect, Block can help you organize the process from planning through contractor selection. If you don’t, we can help you understand what you need at each stage and guide you toward the right type of design support so you’re set up for accurate bids and a smoother build.
Every contractor on our platform goes through a rigorous evaluation, including background checks, verification of licensing and insurance, review of past projects, and skills assessment. We only accept professionals with proven experience and a commitment to quality—so you can feel confident you’re working with the right fit for your project. When you receive bids, you’ll also be able to evaluate relevant experience and proposal detail so you’re choosing based on facts, not guesswork.
Every project scope is thoroughly evaluated by renovation experts and AI-enabled tools to help spot gaps and identify red flags early. Our process prevents unclear or missing line items, reducing unnecessary change orders. Of course, necessary changes can arise from unforeseen conditions or project adjustments. If this happens, property owners can request support from Block to review and clarify change orders before committing or making any payments.
