About The Builder Market

The Builder Market (TBM) is revolutionizing the home improvement and construction industry with an all-in-one platform built by contractors, for contractors.

Our Mission: To empower the 99% of business owners with the same tools, reach, and visibility as the top 1%—while driving a more ethical, sustainable, and waste-free industry.

In a landscape dominated by outdated platforms, low-quality leads, and inflated costs, TBM offers a real alternative: honest tools, transparent connections, and the first-ever AI personal assistant built specifically for the design/build sector. We don't just list contractors—we elevate them.

This is a unique opportunity to join us as a Founding Sponsor and gain brand alignment across our platform, educational content, regional campaigns, and more.

Serving a Critical Need

From 2021 to 2024, top home service platforms lost 49% of project volume and 33% of their professional base. Pros are leaving other lead gen platforms in frustration due to false leads, hidden costs, and lack of transparency. This has stifled innovation and created a disconnect between skilled professionals and homeowners seeking quality, ethical services.

TBM fills this void—built from the ground up with the integrity, transparency, and innovation this industry desperately needs.

We connect homeowners and professionals through a frictionless platform that prioritizes ethics, sustainability, and innovation.
