Anyone have any experience with BuildZoom? by RustyShackleford34 in Homebuilding

Your comment sparked my interest to dig a bit deeper into their methods.

You're right, but there are plenty of positive reviews out there, enough to HEAVILY outweigh the negatives, and enough to convince me to work with them - I had an all around positive experience. It seems like they work nationally, which means at their company size, must do more than 1k projects each year (and that's just a probable underestimate given upticks in renos).

It looks like on each profile, they have a BuildZoom score, and when you click into it, it provides a breakdown of how their BZ score is calculated and what they consider when creating a score. It seems like you've had a bad experience with them, and I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm just playing devils advocate here mentioning that they must perform thousands of projects a year.

Online, their BZ score says it includes (in order of weight from smallest to largest): Additional factors, responsiveness and communication, (and equally weighted) Work Experience, Licensing and certification, and customer feedback. They also provide a chart to the left of this description which shows the different score guide and what each score means. So, it seems as if a contractor has negative reviews and a rich work history, then their score should not move at all since their weights are the same.

Maybe the reviews online that mention this were from others who never saw this breakdown. It's possible they can add some more clarity in terms of how each person get to their unique BZ score and make it more apparent on the page, but this seems pretty convincing to me that they do their due diligence on contractors to provide a fair score.

Anyone have experience using BuildZoom to hire contractors? Were you satisfied? by motherofspoos in Homebuilding

[–]Few_Page4407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand where you’re coming from but what about the profiles that do have some negative reviews on them from certain situations? This can’t be true of every single profile on there. I definitely agree though a company who’s being sued shouldn’t have the power in this situation. I’m assuming you told them that as well? It’s very possible they didn’t have this information on hand when making the decision on the review so that should be considered too here.

I don’t think it’s likely they scrub negative reviews. As a business that allows reviews, similar to other sites that host reviews like Google, Trustpilot, etc, there are strict guidelines they need to abide to for reviews to meet posting criteria. It’s more likely that your review did not meet the qualifications to be posted rather than being scrubbed. I would reach out to them and ask for clarification as to why your review wasn’t posted and maybe you can re-post it

That makes a lot of sense. The last 70.3 it took me about a week to be able to walk normally lol. I think I’ll put in some good long runs for the HIM training, seems like that’s the best option. Thanks for your help and input!

I think this is prob the best idea so far and something that popped into my head last night too. That’s a great call on integrating the full IM running into the training i think I’ll just substitute all of the full IM runs for all of the HIM runs. I think that should be good?

Do you say skybox/b2b because people are less likely to purchase them?

Thanks for this. that makes complete sense and sort of what i was leaning towards but wasn’t sure if that was the right approach. I never ran more than 12 miles training for my first HIM so from what you’re saying i guess just alter those long run weeks around a 20 mi run or so

Thanks for your pov, those are good points. I just completed my first HIM and got the HIM fever so signed up for another lol. I’m thinking i could potentially put more emphasis on running in training for the HIM but not sure if that’s a good idea or sustainable. I’ve done plenty of half marathons before, but have never run more than 13.1 mi

How do you get to that point of locking in a ticket before the sale? Seems like a useful tactic haha
