If you want to be a serial home builder or in remodeling (not just one house, but several), & you want someone to walk you through the process & introduce you to subs, then U Build It may be a good choice. If you just plan to do one project, I strongly recommend you go with an established, reputable professional. For the same cost as U Build It, I got a full-service general contractor, & 10 times the value. They told me the standard fee charged by general contractors for a remodeling job was 30% (and that they should know since they used to be full time general contractors), but that their fee was just half of that at 15%. In reality all other generals I talked to charged between 16% and 18.5%. I felt I was misled and pressured to sign a deal, in what with hindsight was misleading information.
Description of Work: I requested a quotation on a major residential remodeling proposal. Total project cost was approximately $200,000. For this job, U Build It required roughly $2k up front to bid (using their subs), & 15% commission. That includes a once-a-week site visit by their field supervisor. They had no legal or fiduciary responsibility to project whatsoever. The 3 other general contractors who quoted charged nothing to assemble their bid, & 16% to 18.5% commission. A reputable general is on the job-site every day, & has total contractual responsibility for both workmanship & completion deadlines.

Response from UBUILDIT - NOBLESVILLE
I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THIS WAS A "GUESSTIMATE" OF WHAT THE PROJECT COULD COST. UBUILDIT DID NOT RECEIVE ANY PRINTS TO QUOTE OUT ACTUAL COSTS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT PRICE THE OTHER GENERAL CONTRACTORS QUOTED, OR IF THEY EVEN HAVE YET. WHEN UBI QUOTES, WE WILL SHOW YOU ALL COSTS FOR EACH ITEM AND WILL BACK THEM UP WITH COPIES OF BIDS FROM SUPPLIERS AND CONTRACTORS. OUR FEE IS ESTABLISHED OFF PRICING ON REMODELS AND SQUARE FOOTAGE ON NEW HOMES. REMODELS AND ADDITIONS ARE JUST AS TIME CONSUMING OR MORE THAN HEW HOMES, THEREFORE THE FEES ARE ADJUSTED ACCORDINGLY. IF THE GENERAL CONTRACTORS DO NOT SHOW YOU WHAT THE COSTS ARE AND HOW THEY FIGURE THE MARKUP, HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE REALLY CHARGING? I AM NOT SAYING THEY ARE MISLEADING YOU, BUT YOU WILL NEVER KNOW IF ALL THINGS ARE NOT DISCLOSED AND YOU PAY ALL BILLS DIRECTLY AS YOU WOULD WITH UBI. WE AVERAGE 10 TO 15% EQUITY IN OUR NEW HOMES, THEREFORE UBI IS A GREAT WAY TO BUILD A HOME AND INSTANT EQUITY COMPARED WITH USING MOST RESPECTABLE GENERAL CONTRACTORS WHO CAN CHARGE UP TWICE AS MUCH AS UBI. ADDITIONALLY, UBI FEES ARE FIXED BEFORE THE WORK BEGINS, ALL PARTIES KNOW WHAT THEY ARE, AND THEY DO NOT CHANGE DURING THE PROJECT. UBI IS A GOOD WAY TO BUILD A HOME FOR THE RIGHT PERSON AND RIGHT PROJECT. FOR ALL WE KNOW THIS PROJECT COULD HAVE COME IN AT $175,000, BUT WE WERE NOT GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO BID OUT A FINAL PRICE. REGARDING PRESSURING YOU INTO A QUOTE, WE HAVE NOT EVEN FOLLOWED UP WITH A CALL TO YOU AFTER MEETING.
