Independent homeowner research

Turn lived experience into better home decisions.

BuilderStudy organizes homeowner-reported builder, home-quality, warranty, HOA, and buying experiences into clearer community insight—without pretending limited data is definitive.

Free to participate. Identifying details are protected. Public reporting uses eligible aggregates and moderated excerpts.

Pre-MVP availability: Builder Review and HOA Review are the verified existing GHL survey assets. The remaining modules are preserved as approved specifications and will not be represented as live until connected.
How it works

A simple contribution, built for responsible reuse.

BuilderStudy separates private identity and moderation data from the public aggregate view. The goal is clarity—not an unfiltered complaint board.

See the full methodology
1

Identify your context

Tell us which builder, community, property, or HOA your experience relates to.

2

Complete a focused module

Rate the experience on a consistent 1–5-star scale and add optional context.

3

Contribute to eligible insight

Only qualified aggregates and moderated excerpts are used in public reporting.

Built for trust

What BuilderStudy will—and will not—do.

The pre-MVP is intentionally conservative about claims, samples, and access.

Protect identity

Contact and verification details stay out of the public reporting layer.

Label small samples

Results below the reporting threshold are withheld or clearly directional.

Moderate excerpts

Public stories require permission and review before they can be displayed.

Keep scoring consistent

All rating modules use the same 1–5-star basis and documented normalization.

Help build the evidence base

Your experience can make the next buyer better prepared.

Start with the part you know best. You can stop after one module or continue through the full BuilderStudy survey path.
