UBuildIt puts Home Building in your Hands

SAN DIEGO - Feb. 17, 2015 - PRLog -- Facing an average home price of $450,000, San Diego residents will soon have a reliable and proven way to save money when building a new home or doing a remodel.

Experienced home builder Carlos Madrazo will be opening a new UBuildIt franchise store at the beginning of March, which will service all of San Diego County. Using the UBuildIt system, homeowners manage their own new building or remodeling project.

This is done with help from expert construction consultants and proven systems that save money and build instant equity.

UBuildIt was founded in 1988 and now has franchises in 11 states. They are the only company that serves the owner-builder market. The concept is based on the belief that the process of building or remodeling a home produces better results for everyone involved when homeowners are better informed and more involved in the decision making.

Madrazo has more than 15 years of experience in real estate, including development, construction, simple remodels and complex housing projects.

“My focus has been to create outstanding value through fair and reasonable pricing with exceptional quality by constructing a project with the utmost concern for workmanship, detail and code compliance,” he said.

UBuildIt’s planning consultant Amy Meadows has assisted clients with building more than 500 homes while working for a home builder in northern California.

“We are experts in home building and home remodeling,” she said. “We allow our clients to be involved in their projects first hand, but yet have a security blanket to fall back on. I don't know of any other company in San Diego who is doing this at the level that we are.

“Though land is limited in San Diego County, there is an abundance of older homes that offer great opportunities.”

San Diego County boasts a gorgeous landscape and weather for families to put down roots, but its good qualities can also drive up home prices.

“With one of the highest median cost per home in the nation of about $450,000, how can new generations afford a home in San Diego when lenders typically require 20 percent equity contribution to get a loan?” Madrazo said. “That’s more than an $80,000 down payment just to get a loan on the average home.

“The UBuildIt system allows an owner-builder to get into that home with little out-of-pocket cost by producing equity while managing their project.”

UBuildIt is located at 8746 Complex Dr. in San Diego and is scheduled for a grand opening in early March. More information can be found by calling (858) 569-5922, e-mailing Sandiego.ca@ubuildit.com or visiting www.ubuildit.com.

Madrazo and Meadows will be at the San Diego Home Show March 6-8.
