Builder review logic

A project label is only the beginning.

A useful first review needs more than “ADU,” “addition,” “kitchen remodel,” or “deck replacement.” Property location, current stage, available drawings, access, intended outcome, and unresolved conditions all shape the right next conversation.

For an ADU or backyard pod, placement, privacy, utility routing, fire separation, drainage, and side-yard access can materially affect the path. An addition may turn on foundation tie-ins, roofline strategy, structure, exterior continuity, and how an occupied home can be protected.

Kitchens, bathrooms, decks, and whole-home remodels bring different dependencies. The planner organizes those early signals so Terra Buildr can begin with the property and scope context already visible.

Privacy by design

You choose when to share your project.

The planner keeps the name, email, phone, consent, and anti-spam fields outside the planning-answer set. When you submit, the complete request goes to Terra Buildr’s lead system; project answers may be processed by OpenAI to prepare the brief. Do not include contact details, names, or exact street addresses in project-answer fields.

This is an early planning guide, not a formal estimate, design, permit review, or construction proposal.

Planner FAQ

Useful before plans are complete.

The brief supports an informed first review. It does not make property-specific design, permitting, or construction determinations.

Why does the planner ask about site access?

Access affects demolition, deliveries, staging, protection, parking, cleanup, and whether the project can be sequenced cleanly.

Why does it ask about drawings?

Drawings, sketches, surveys, photos, and city comments change whether the next step is feasibility, design coordination, scope review, or a site visit.

Do I need plans or measurements to use the planner?

No. Start with what you know; the brief can identify useful information to gather next.

Does this create a formal construction estimate?

No. It organizes early planning information and helps identify the questions that should be reviewed before a builder proposal.

Can I use it before I have drawings?

Yes. The planner is useful at the idea stage because it identifies which information is missing before design or builder review.

What happens after I submit the brief?

Terra Buildr receives the brief, answers, notes, and contact details through the lead system so the first follow-up can be more focused.
