From homeowner vision to your signed contract.
We turn renovation intent into lender-ready, contractor-ready projects. Homeowners complete our 3D curation, lock scope, and secure financing before we ever match them with you.
You receive a complete Statement of Work, documented selections, and a pre-qualified borrower. No cold bids. No tire-kickers. No shared lead-gen races.
- Exclusive projects — we don't sell your lead to five other bidders
- Fixed-price SOW — you set labor and margin, we lock scope
- Milestone payments from escrow — no collections
Pre-qualified homeowners only
Every project has a signed homeowner engagement and financing in motion. Scope and selections are locked in our platform before you see the file. Result: you only see ready-to-sign work.
One SOW, one price
We hand you a comprehensive Statement of Work. You apply your labor rates and profit margins and sign off — no weeks of back-and-forth. Your margin stays in your control.
Digital draws, no stall
Submit geo-tagged, time-stamped proof through our portal. The lender releases funds from escrow. No waiting on bank inspectors. Your cash flow keeps moving.
What we've heard from contractors.
Estimating burnout, draw delays, and scope creep — we built ExpandEase because the old way doesn't work.
- "I waste a week on every estimate. By the time I'm done, the homeowner has already called someone else." — General contractor, Phoenix
- "Bank draws kill my cash flow. I finish a phase and then wait two weeks for an inspector to show up." — Licensed contractor
- "Scope creep is built into the job. They "couldn't picture it" from the plans, and now we're redoing the kitchen." — Renovation specialist
- "Lead gen sites send the same "lead" to five other guys. We all underbid and nobody wins." — Residential GC
We get it. That's why we built a different pipeline. Pre-funded jobs, locked scope, and milestone payments — so you build, not chase.
Operational Reality
Two ways to run your business.
The industry hasn't changed in 40 years. We're changing it now.
- Cold outreach and referral chasing
- Vague scopes, ballpark estimates
- Scope creep erodes your margin
- Payment fights at every milestone
- "But that's not what I meant" disputes after the fact
- Trades double-booked, timelines blown
- Permitting is your headache — find the forms yourself
- No visibility into project health until it's too late
- Inbound leads — homeowners come to you pre-funded
- AI-generated SOW with 21 trade packages and material specs
- SOW is the rule giver — signed, clear, enforced
- Change orders locked and funded before work continues
- Photo-verified (in development) milestone payments — AI confirms completion
- TurboMode™ (in development) scheduling — zero idle days, every trade sequenced
- Integrated permitting — stamped plans, pre-filled apps, inspections scheduled
- Aria AI (in development) companion monitors project health in real time
Every tool a modern GC needs. Built in.
We didn't just digitize the old process — we rebuilt it from the ground up with AI, integrated permitting, and real-time project intelligence.
Aria AI Companion (in development)
Your AI project manager. Aria flags permit issues before submission, auto-generates inspection checklists from AHJ requirements, and monitors SOW compliance in real time — so you catch problems before they become change orders.
TurboMode™ Scheduling (in development)
AI-optimized Gantt scheduling ensures zero idle days. Every trade sequenced so the next crew arrives the moment the previous one finishes. Drag-and-drop rescheduling with automatic conflict detection.
Integrated Permitting
Plans stamped by licensed PEs, permit applications pre-filled from SOW data, and every required inspection auto-sequenced into your Gantt timeline. No more paper chasing.
Photo-Verified Milestones (in development)
Upload geo-tagged site photos at each milestone. Aria AI verifies work completion against the SOW specifications before releasing the next payment tranche. Disputes eliminated before they start.
Hyper-Local Cost Intelligence
Every SOW is calibrated across nine public data sources: city permits and Maricopa assessor parcels, HMDA mortgage records, FHFA ZIP-level price histories, BLS construction input prices, Census housing profiles, FEMA flood zones, and Phoenix zoning data — all by ZIP, not a flat metro average. Comp-based ARV projections use IQR outlier filtering on real sale data. Older-home premiums baked in for pre-1980 construction. Lot feasibility pre-screened against Phoenix zoning before scope is set. The numbers you receive have been pressure-tested against what the market actually builds.
Golden Record SOW
21 trade packages, every material spec, manufacturer SKUs, lot feasibility, and sub-component detail — auto-generated from the homeowner's curation. The most detailed scope a contractor will ever walk in with. Your shield against creep, disputes, and surprises.
How it works.
Traditional jobs: 40+ hours selling, estimating, and chasing draws before you build anything. ExpandEase: a 30-minute SOW review, then you build.
01 Get Matched — Homeowner Already Funded
We notify you of a project with a full homeowner-approved scope. Every homeowner has signed an engagement with us and has ARV financing in progress before you see the file — no tire-kickers, no "we're still figuring out our budget." Review the Golden Record and accept or pass in under an hour. No site visit required to make your decision. Your time cost to evaluate: ~1 hour
02 Open the Golden Record — Your SOW Is Already Built
Your project package arrives with 21 trade-level SOW sections, per-ZIP-calibrated cost data from live Phoenix permit records, exact material specs and manufacturer SKUs, lot feasibility analysis, and stamped architectural plans. Older-home premiums are already baked in. You apply your labor rates and coordination margin — that's it. Typical review: 30 minutes. Time to close the deal: 30 minutes
03 Build with Certainty — Scope Is Locked
Fixed-price contract from day one. No scope creep. Every change order goes through the platform — documented, approved by the homeowner, funded by the lender — before a nail moves. The SOW is the rule giver: clear deliverables, not-to-exceed terms for conditions outside your control, and a change order process that protects your margin. No "but I thought you meant…" Disputes eliminated at the contract level
04 Get Paid on Milestones — Funds Already in Escrow
The lender holds all funds in escrow before you break ground. Hit a verified milestone, upload geo-tagged site photos through the portal, and the lender releases funds within 48 hours — digitally, no bank inspector site visit required. Your contingency reserve sits in escrow and releases to you at Certificate of Occupancy if unused. No invoicing. No chasing. No carrying cost. 48hr draw release — zero carrying cost
The math: where your extra margin comes from
- No sales & estimating time: +$6,000 — 40 hrs × $150/hr you never spend selling a job you may not win
- No design revision rounds: +$4,000 — Homeowner locked scope before you saw it — zero "I changed my mind" rework
- No draw carrying cost: +$3,000 — 48hr digital releases vs. 2-week bank inspector wait × 6 milestones
On a traditional $400K project you lose ~$13,000 before you build anything. On an ExpandEase project that $13,000 stays in your pocket — same project, better business model.
How you get paid.
Full transparency. Every dollar is traceable. Here's what a typical $400K project looks like — from your side.
Sample Project: Master Suite + Kitchen
300 sqft addition · Premium kitchen · 2 bath renovations · Arcadia 85018
- Trade costs (material + labor): Framing, electrical, plumbing, tile, flooring, cabinets, HVAC — paid to your subs
- Your coordination & profit: On-site management, sub scheduling, your margin — you set the number
- Contingency reserve: Held in escrow — released to you if unused at CO
Paid by homeowner — not your cost: 3D design, architectural stamping, SOW generation, permitting, draw management — the work that replaces a $15K–$30K architect/designer. The homeowner pays for this as part of their project financing. It never comes out of your contract.
When you get paid
Milestone-based draws from escrow — no invoicing, no chasing
- Notice to Proceed, 10%, Week 1 · Permits applied, site mobilized
- Framing Inspection, 25%, Week 6 · AHJ framing sign-off
- MEP Rough Approved, 25%, Week 10 · Electrical, plumbing, HVAC rough inspected
- Drywall & Exterior, 20%, Week 14 · Drywall Level 4, exterior complete
- Pre-Final Inspection, 15%, Week 20 · All finishes, punch list issued
- Certificate of Occupancy, 5%, Week 24 · CO issued, final walkthrough signed
How it works: You upload geo-tagged, time-stamped photos through our portal. The lender verifies digitally and releases funds from escrow within 48 hours. No bank inspectors, no waiting.
Your bottom line: ExpandEase vs. traditional lead-gen
Traditional $400K project: your net $84,500, effective margin 21.1%, time to close the deal 4–8 weeks. On an ExpandEase project, time to close the deal is 30 minutes (SOW review), and ExpandEase services and permits are homeowner-paid.
On a traditional project, you spend 40+ hours selling, estimating, and chasing draws before you build anything. On an ExpandEase project, you review a locked SOW in 30 minutes. Your contract is clean, your draws are funded, and ExpandEase's services are paid by the homeowner — not by you.
Why contractors choose ExpandEase.
More leads. Fewer disputes. Higher project success and homeowner satisfaction. Get paid on time, every time.
Not Another Lead-Gen Site
Stop racing to the bottom against five other bidders. We hand you exclusive $300K+ projects where the homeowner has completed 3D design visualization, locked material selections to exact SKUs, and secured ARV financing. The SOW you receive is calibrated against live Phoenix permit data by ZIP code — built around what your subs actually charge in that market, not a metro-wide average.
Zero-Friction Quoting & Margin Control
We provide a detailed Statement of Work as a starting point — exact material quantities, specs, and documented homeowner selections. You review the file, adjust based on your expertise, apply your labor rates and profit margins, and sign off. We handle the paperwork; you control the build.
No More Waiting for Bank Inspectors
Traditional bank draws stall your job site. With ExpandEase, you manage draws digitally. Submit geo-tagged, time-stamped photos directly through our portal to clear milestones. The lender reviews the digital proof and releases funds from escrow. Keep your cash flow moving without the friction.
Higher Project Success Rates & Homeowner Satisfaction
Clear scope and locked change orders mean fewer surprises and fewer callbacks. Homeowners stay happy because expectations are set in writing from day one. You get more referrals, fewer disputes, and a reputation for delivering what you promised.
The SOW Is the Rule Giver — You're Protected
Every project starts with a signed scope of work: clear deliverables, not-to-exceed terms for conditions outside your control, and a change order process that protects you. No "but I thought you meant…" Your signature is your shield. Disputes drop when the document is the single source of truth.
Post-Signature Trade Scheduling — Stay On Schedule
Our platform helps you line up subs and trades with committed timeline slots. Every trade confirms; conflicts get flagged before they cascade. You show up to a coordinated build, not a guessing game. On schedule and on budget = happier homeowners and more repeat business.
Eliminate the "I can't picture it" problem. Forever.
Contractors lose thousands of dollars in wasted time when a homeowner changes their mind halfway through a build because they "couldn't visualize" the 2D floor plans. ExpandEase solves this before you ever break ground. The homeowner explores their exact renovation in a high-fidelity 3D environment during our curation phase — guided by Aria, our AI companion, who translates Pinterest boards into buildable specs.
By the time you start building, design anxiety is gone, selections are locked in writing, permits are pre-filed, and your schedule is protected. This is what the future of renovation looks like.
We've heard the objections.
Straight answers. No spin.
All project cost estimates shown are approximate ranges based on current Phoenix-metro market data. Final pricing is determined by the assigned contractor based on site evaluation and material selections. ExpandEase does not guarantee final project costs.
