Canada's home building marketplace — Manitoba launch 2026
Get approved. Tender it fairly. Then build.
Without bank approval there is no build. BILDZ starts with mortgage pre-approval, eliminates the contractor markup through transparent sealed bidding, and delivers a complete construction mortgage package — all before a single shovel hits the ground.

How BILDZ works
Seven steps. One platform.
From the moment you decide to build to the moment your bank approves your construction mortgage — BILDZ guides every step and assembles every document.
Step 01
✅
Get pre-approved
Connect with a BILDZ mortgage partner. Know your budget before designing a single room. Funds confirmed before tendering begins.
Step 02
🏠
Design your home
Configure your home within your approved budget. Live pricing updates with every selection. Upload blueprints or use our model library.
Step 03
📋
Permit guidance
BILDZ identifies your municipality automatically and shows exactly which permits are required and how to apply.
Step 04
🏗️
Post for tender
Pre-approval letter attached to your listing. Verified contractors bid knowing funds are confirmed. No wasted quotes.
Step 05
📊
Bid opening day
All sealed bids revealed simultaneously. No markups. Full price transparency. You see every number from every contractor.
Step 06
📦
Complete the package
Pre-construction appraisal, new home warranty enrollment, and builders risk insurance added automatically.
Step 07
🏦
Walk into the bank
One complete folder. Every document your lender requires. Construction loan approved. Add optional BILDZ project management. Build begins.
The bank document
The complete construction mortgage package
No platform in Canada assembles a complete construction mortgage package for homeowners. BILDZ does. Every document your lender requires — in one folder — automatically.
The BILDZ difference
The contractor markup on a typical Manitoba home build costs homeowners $60,000 to $100,000 — and most never know it is happening. BILDZ eliminates it completely through transparent sealed bidding. That money stays in your pocket.

BILDZ Project Management Service
Most homeowners can navigate Steps 1 through 16 — pre-approval, design, permits, tendering, and financing. But once boots hit the ground most have no idea what they do not know. A missed inspection, a framing error nobody caught, a subcontractor who skipped a step — those mistakes cost tens of thousands of dollars to fix after the fact. BILDZ solves this with an optional project management service.
👷
Dedicated BILDZ project manager
A qualified PM is assigned to your build from permit approval to possession. They are your advocate on site — someone who knows construction and is paid to protect your interests, not the contractor's.
📋
Every phase inspected and documented
Site visits at foundation, framing, rough-in, insulation, drywall, and final. Every visit documented with photos. Every invoice reviewed against the tendered budget before approval. Nothing gets missed.
📱
Weekly updates — always in the loop
You receive weekly progress updates through the BILDZ platform. Photos, schedule status, budget tracking, and upcoming milestones. You always know exactly where your build stands — from anywhere.
How the fee works
4%
of total contract value — added to your construction budget and financed through your mortgage. You do not pay it out of pocket.
$350,000 build$14,000
$450,000 build$18,000
$600,000 build$24,000
A single missed inspection or undetected framing error can cost $20,000 to $50,000 to fix. The PM fee is cheap insurance.
What your PM does
1
Reviews construction schedule and flags sequencing issues before work begins
2
Conducts site visits at every major phase with photo documentation uploaded to your build file
3
Reviews every invoice against the tendered budget before approving payment
4
Manages the municipal inspection schedule — no inspection is ever missed
5
Sends weekly updates through BILDZ so you always know where your build stands
6
Manages contractor communications and resolves issues before they become expensive problems

What people are saying
Real people. Real builds.
From homeowners who finally understood their build costs, to contractors who stopped chasing unqualified leads, to suppliers who got in front of projects before ground broke.
★★★★★
"I had no idea contractors were marking up my trades by 20%. When I saw the bids side by side on bid opening day I nearly fell off my chair. I saved over $60,000 on my build compared to the first quote I got from a GC. BILDZ changed everything for me."

Homeowner · Stonewall, MB · 2,200 sqft build

"We built our cottage on Winnipeg Beach through BILDZ and the whole process was smooth from day one. The permit guidance alone saved us weeks of confusion. We knew exactly what the RM required and had everything ready before we even called a contractor."

"Walking into the bank with a complete BILDZ package was a completely different experience than my first construction loan application three years ago. The loan officer said it was the most organized application she had ever seen. Approved in four days."

Contractor review
"Before BILDZ I was spending hours quoting jobs for people who couldn't get financing. Now every project I bid on has a pre-approval letter attached. I know before I write a single number that the client can actually build. My conversion rate on bids has doubled."

Project manager review
"I manage four builds simultaneously through the BILDZ PM service. The homeowners get weekly updates, the contractors stay accountable, and I catch issues before they become expensive problems. This is the best way I have ever worked in 18 years of construction management."

Supplier partner review
"As a founding supplier partner we see every project in our region before ground breaks. We can bid on material packages, advertise directly to homeowners who are actively building, and our RTM packages are now featured on the platform. Our visibility has never been better."

The contractor tip jar
Performance that everyone can see
The BILDZ tip jar is a live running total visible to everyone on a project — homeowner, PM, and contractor. Clients tip their contractor directly through the platform based on the quality of work at each phase. The daily total is displayed on the contractor's profile for all future clients to see.
It is the most honest performance signal in Canadian construction. A contractor with a strong tip jar history wins more bids. A contractor who cuts corners loses visibility. Quality gets rewarded in real time.

The founder
"I've spent 29 years watching homeowners overpay for their builds. I know every place the money goes. So I built a platform to keep it where it belongs — in the homeowner's pocket."
Chad Palsson
Founder, BILDZ · Owner, Reinforced Building Ltd. · Manitoba, Canada
Chad is a 29-year Manitoba construction veteran and founder of Reinforced Building Ltd. He conceived BILDZ after decades of watching homeowners overpay due to markup opacity, incomplete financing packages, and a complete lack of transparency in the residential construction process. BILDZ is the platform he wished had existed at the start of his career.
