How does BuildPilot pick these builders?

Every partner builder submits detailed capability data: budget bands, block types, project types, service regions. Our matcher scores each builder against a brief - your brief, not a generic one.

No. Builders can advertise on BuildPilot, but placement in this editorial guide is not for sale.

Why this list is different

We do not sell placement in this ranking. Builders can pay to be listed on BuildPilot, but not to be recommended above another for a specific brief. Rankings come from our capability-matching engine, not from ad spend.
