Consistent Year-Round Volume

We build single-family homes year-round across 8 Central FL counties. No feast-or-famine cycles — steady projects from approved trade partners.

Professional Project Management

Each project has a dedicated PM you can reach by phone or text. Schedules respected, change orders documented, communication clear.

★ What We Need From You

Vetting Requirements

To keep our directory clean and our clients protected, here’s what we ask all approved trade partners to provide during onboarding.

Insurance

Coverage Varies by Trade

General liability ($1M+) and workers comp are baseline. Depending on your trade, we may also require commercial auto, umbrella, or specialty coverage. We’ll walk you through exact requirements during onboarding — no need to figure it out on this form.

GL + WC + as needed
License

Active FL License (if applicable)

Florida contractor license for trades that require one (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, structural). Active and in good standing with DBPR. We verify before activation.

Active & verified
References

2–3 Prior GC References

Names + phone numbers of 2–3 general contractors or builders you’ve worked with in the last 12 months. We’ll make brief calls to verify quality, communication, and reliability.

2–3 references

Apply now — we’ll request documentation only after a brief intro call. No paperwork required for the application itself.

★ Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Honest answers about how we work with trade partners.

How are bids handled?
Once you’re approved, our PMs send bid requests via email with the full scope of work, location, and floor plan. You quote, we either accept or request adjustments. No reverse auctions, no bid races to the bottom — we want fair, sustainable pricing.
What if I’m not licensed but I’m a skilled trade (paint, flooring, framing)?
Apply anyway. Many trades (paint, drywall, flooring, framing, landscaping) don’t require a state license in Florida. We still verify insurance, references, and quality of work — license isn’t a hard gate for unlicensed trades.
How fast do you pay?
NET 30 from invoice receipt is standard. Submit an invoice with completed work + lien waiver and you’re paid within 30 days. ACH direct deposit is fastest. We’ve been told our pay terms are among the best in Central FL.
Do you require exclusivity?
No. We expect our partners to work with other builders. Our goal is to be a reliable, high-volume client — not your only client. Be honest about availability and we’ll work with your schedule.
How does scheduling work?
Our PMs use a shared construction schedule. You get advance notice of when your trade is needed (typically 1–2 weeks ahead). Schedule changes happen, but we minimize them with clear sequencing and communication.
What if there’s a quality or callback issue?
We expect trade partners to stand behind their work. Callbacks during the homeowner warranty period (1 year workmanship) are addressed at no charge. We won’t penalize you for a one-off issue, but repeated quality problems would end the partnership.
What counties do you build in?
Seminole, Orange, Osceola, Volusia, Lake, Brevard, Polk, and Flagler. We only send you bids in counties you cover.
