Built by Contractors, For Contractors
We started BuildBridge because legacy lead brokers were driving honest contractors into cutthroat race-to-the-bottom bidding wars.
The Problem We Solved
In 2021, our founder Marcus Vance was operating a residential remodeling firm in Texas. Despite top-tier craftsmanship, his sales team was wasting 30+ hours a week chasing "shared leads" from big aggregator platforms. Five different contractors were calling the same homeowner within seconds, forcing prices into the ground and frustrating homeowners.
Marcus realized the entire contractor marketing model was broken. Contractors needed locked territory exclusivity, pre-screened budgets, and instant phone delivery. BuildBridge was created to give hard-working contractors the respect, privacy, and high margins they deserve.
Our Guiding Core Principles
Contractor Equity First
We never sell the same homeowner inquiry to multiple contractors. When you pay for a lead, it is 100% yours.
Quality Over Raw Volume
We filter out small patch repair jobs and non-homeowners so your estimators only travel for high-ticket contracts.
Radical Accountability
Our 100% Bad Lead Replacement Shield guarantees you never pay for disconnected numbers or fake inquiries.
