Terms of Service
Last Updated: May 8, 2026
These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of the website located at simplybuildable.com (the "Site") and the tools and services made available on the Site, including the build cost calculator, the renovation cost calculator, the construction loan calculator, the consultation booking flow, and the agent page (collectively with the Site, the "Services"), operated by Buildable, Inc., a California corporation ("Buildable," "we," "us," or "our").
Please read these Terms carefully. They include a binding arbitration agreement and a class action waiver in Section 16 that affect your legal rights. By accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not access or use the Services.
1. Who These Terms Apply To
These Terms apply to anyone who accesses or uses the Services, including visitors, prospective clients, real estate agents, and anyone using any of the calculators or booking a consultation. You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a legally binding contract to use the Services. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
2. What These Terms Don't Cover
These Terms govern your use of the Site and the Services. They do not govern any construction services, design services, feasibility studies, project management, renovation services, or other professional services that Buildable may provide to you under a separate written agreement (a "Services Agreement"). If you and Buildable enter into a Services Agreement, that agreement will govern those services and will control over these Terms in the event of any conflict on matters covered by the Services Agreement.
Nothing on the Site, including any communication through consultation forms, the calculators, the booking flow, blog posts, or other content, creates a contract for construction or any other professional services. A binding agreement for any work by Buildable requires a signed written Services Agreement.
3. Buildable's Licensing
Buildable holds California Contractor's License #1080271. Information about Buildable's license can be verified through the California Contractors State License Board at cslb.ca.gov.
Buildable is not a lender, mortgage broker, real estate broker, financial advisor, attorney, or accountant. Nothing on the Site constitutes legal, financial, tax, real estate, or lending advice. Consult appropriate licensed professionals for advice specific to your situation.
4. Use of the Services
4.1 Permitted Use
You may use the Services for personal, non-commercial purposes related to evaluating Buildable's services, researching custom home building or renovation, or communicating with Buildable about a potential project.
4.2 Prohibited Use
You agree not to:
Use the Services in any way that violates any applicable law or regulation
Copy, scrape, harvest, or systematically extract content from the Site without our written permission
Use any automated system, robot, spider, or scraper to access the Services
Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the Site or any Services
Interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services or any servers or networks connected to the Services
Use the Services to transmit any viruses, malware, or other harmful code
Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity
Use the Services to send unsolicited communications, promotions, or advertisements
Use the Services in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the Site
Frame or mirror any portion of the Site without our prior written consent
We reserve the right to terminate your access to the Services at any time for any reason, including for violation of these Terms.
5. Calculators: Important Disclaimer
The Site includes several calculators, including the build cost calculator, the renovation cost calculator, and the construction loan calculator (each, a "Calculator," and together, the "Calculators").
The Calculators provide rough estimates for general informational purposes only. The output of any Calculator is not a quote, bid, proposal, offer to perform construction services at any price, offer to lend, or commitment of any kind. Calculator output does not create any contract, obligation, or commitment by Buildable.
You acknowledge and agree that:
Calculator output is based on general assumptions and limited inputs and does not account for the specific conditions of any particular property, project, financial situation, or borrower
Actual construction costs, renovation costs, loan terms, and interest rates vary significantly based on factors that the Calculators cannot evaluate, including but not limited to soil conditions, slope, access, utility availability, zoning, permitting requirements, design complexity, finish selections, market conditions, labor availability, material costs, lender underwriting, your credit history, your income, and your debts
Any estimate produced by a Calculator may differ materially from actual costs, prices, or loan terms
Pricing for any actual project will be determined only through a written Services Agreement following site evaluation, design, and proper estimation
Loan terms and qualifications can only be determined by a licensed lender after a complete application
Buildable makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee that any project can be completed at or near the price suggested by any Calculator, or that any borrower can obtain financing at the rates or terms suggested by the construction loan calculator
You will not rely on Calculator output for any financial, investment, lending, real estate purchase, or other decision
5.1 Construction Loan Calculator: Additional Disclaimer
Buildable is not a lender, mortgage broker, or financial advisor. The construction loan calculator does not constitute an offer or commitment to lend, an application for credit, or financial advice. Output from the construction loan calculator is not a Truth in Lending disclosure under federal law (15 U.S.C. ยง 1601 et seq.) or under California's Financing Law.
You should consult a licensed lender or mortgage professional for actual loan options, rates, and terms. Buildable does not arrange financing, originate loans, or receive compensation from lenders for referrals.
By using any Calculator, you waive any claim against Buildable based on differences between Calculator output and actual project costs, pricing, quotes, or loan terms. If you want a real estimate for an actual property or project, contact us to schedule a consultation.
6. Consultations, Booking, and Communications
The Services include a consultation booking flow that allows you to schedule a free consultation with Buildable. Booking is handled through Calendly, which collects information needed to book and confirm the appointment, including your name, email, phone number, and the date and time you select. Use of the Calendly booking flow is also subject to Calendly's terms of service and privacy policy.
Consultations may take place in person, by phone, or by video. Video consultations are conducted using Zoom and are subject to Zoom's terms of service and privacy policy. We do not record consultations without your explicit consent.
6.1 Email, Phone, and Text Message Communications
When you submit a form, request a consultation, or otherwise provide your contact information through the Services, you expressly consent to receive communications from Buildable by email, phone call, and text message (SMS) at the contact information you provide. These communications may include:
Responses to your inquiry
Estimates, project information, and follow-up communications
Appointment confirmations, reminders, and rescheduling notices
Marketing communications about Buildable's services
Educational content and ongoing nurture communications
Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) Consent. By providing your phone number and submitting a form on the Site, you give your prior express written consent for Buildable, and any third parties acting on Buildable's behalf, to contact you at that number, including by automatic telephone dialing system, artificial or prerecorded voice, and text message. This consent is not a condition of any purchase or Services Agreement. Standard message and data rates may apply to text messages.
How to opt out of marketing communications:
Email: Click the unsubscribe link in any marketing email
Text messages: Reply STOP to any marketing text message. You may also reply HELP for help.
Phone calls: Tell us during any call, or email nick@simplybuildable.com to be removed from our marketing call list
Opting out of marketing communications will not stop transactional communications related to a specific inquiry, estimate, or appointment you have requested.
6.2 No Professional Relationship Created
Submitting a consultation request, scheduling a consultation, sending us an email, or otherwise communicating with us through the Services does not create a contractual relationship between you and Buildable, an attorney-client relationship, a builder-client relationship, or any other professional relationship. No professional relationship is formed until a Services Agreement is signed by both parties.
Any information you provide to Buildable through the Services may be used by Buildable to evaluate your potential project, communicate with you, and improve the Services, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
7. Real Estate Agents
The Site includes a page directed at real estate agents and brokers. If you contact Buildable in your capacity as a real estate agent, you represent that you are acting in compliance with all applicable real estate licensing laws, fiduciary obligations to your clients, and brokerage policies. Any referral, co-marketing, or working relationship between Buildable and any real estate agent or brokerage requires a separate written agreement. Nothing on the Site or in any communication through the Services creates such a relationship by itself.
8. Content on the Site
8.1 Buildable Content
All content on the Site, including text, articles, blog posts, images, photographs, graphics, logos, videos, software, and the design and arrangement of the Site (collectively, "Buildable Content"), is owned by Buildable or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

8.3 Informational Purpose
Articles, blog posts, knowledge center content, and other informational content on the Site are provided for general informational purposes only. This content does not constitute professional advice for your specific situation. Construction costs, regulations, codes, permitting requirements, lending rates, and market conditions vary by location and change over time. Do not rely on Site content as a substitute for consultation with a licensed professional regarding your specific project, property, financing, or circumstances.

13. Disclaimers
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BUILDABLE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
Buildable does not warrant that:
The Services will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free
Any information on the Site, including output from any Calculator, is accurate, complete, current, or reliable
Any defects in the Services will be corrected
The Services or any associated servers are free of viruses or other harmful components
Without limiting the foregoing, Buildable specifically disclaims any warranty that any Calculator or any other tool, content, or information on the Site will produce results suitable for any specific property, project, financing arrangement, financial decision, or other purpose.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. To the extent your jurisdiction prohibits any disclaimer in this section, that disclaimer is limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
14. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BUILDABLE AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND AFFILIATES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR ANY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY RELIANCE ON CALCULATOR OUTPUT OR ANY CONTENT ON THE SITE, REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY (CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE), AND EVEN IF BUILDABLE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
IN NO EVENT SHALL BUILDABLE'S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).
This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot be limited under applicable law (for example, claims arising from gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability. To the extent any limitation in this section is prohibited, it is limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
This limitation of liability does not apply to any Services Agreement between you and Buildable for actual construction or professional services. Liability under any such Services Agreement is governed by that agreement.
15. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Buildable and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:
Your use of the Services
Your violation of these Terms
Your violation of any rights of any third party
Any content you submit, post, or transmit through the Services
Buildable reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense.
16. Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights.
16.1 Agreement to Arbitrate
You and Buildable agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services (each, a "Dispute") will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, except as set forth below. This includes Disputes regarding the Site, any Calculator, the consultation booking flow, Buildable Content, or these Terms, but does not include any dispute under a Services Agreement, which will be governed by the dispute resolution provisions of that agreement.
16.2 Exceptions to Arbitration
Notwithstanding Section 16.1, the following are not subject to arbitration:
Claims that may be brought in small claims court, if the claim qualifies and remains in small claims court
Claims for injunctive or equitable relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services or infringement of intellectual property rights
Any claim that, under applicable California law, may not be subject to a pre-dispute arbitration agreement, including claims for public injunctive relief
16.3 Arbitration Procedure
The arbitration will be administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, or, if the amount in controversy exceeds the threshold for streamlined rules, under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The rules are available at jamsadr.com. The arbitration will be held in San Diego County, California, or at another location agreed by the parties, or conducted by video or telephone if the arbitrator agrees. The arbitrator's decision will be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
16.4 Class Action Waiver
You and Buildable agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of Section 16 will be null and void, but the remainder of these Terms will remain in effect.
16.5 30-Day Right to Opt Out
You have the right to opt out of this arbitration agreement. To opt out, you must send written notice to Buildable at nick@simplybuildable.com or 1405 Ferrara Ct, Escondido, CA 92025, within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, address, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of arbitration. If you opt out, neither you nor Buildable will be bound by Section 16, but the rest of these Terms will continue to apply.
16.6 Survival
This Section 16 survives termination of these Terms.
17. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. For any Dispute that is not subject to arbitration under Section 16 (or for which arbitration is determined to be unenforceable), you and Buildable agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in San Diego County, California, and waive any objection to venue in those courts.
18. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will post the updated Terms on the Site and update the "Last Updated" date at the top. Material changes will be effective 30 days after posting, except that changes addressing new functionality or required by law may be effective immediately. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
19. Termination
We may terminate or suspend your access to the Services at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 5, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 20) will survive.
20. Miscellaneous
20.1 Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any Services Agreement between you and Buildable, constitute the entire agreement between you and Buildable regarding the Services and supersede any prior agreements.
20.2 Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
20.3 No Waiver
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that right or provision.
20.4 Assignment
You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction, including to any affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
20.5 No Third-Party Beneficiaries
These Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights.
20.6 Headings
Section headings are for reference only and do not affect interpretation.
20.7 Force Majeure
Buildable is not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, labor disputes, or internet or utility outages.
