Finish With Confidence 

BASEMENT FINISHING DELIVERED BY TRUSTED LOCAL CONTRACTORS

BuildFlow helps homeowners plan, design, and permit their basement projects before construction starts. We create clear scopes, fixed plans, and permit-ready BuildPacks — so your project starts faster and stays in budget.

About BuildFlow

BuildFlow is a basement-focused planning and delivery platform that helps homeowners turn unfinished basements into finished, functional living spaces. Based in St. Paul MN, we specialize in pre-designed, permit-ready basement projects delivered through licensed local construction partners across the twin cities metro area. By handling design, selections, estimating, documentation and permitting upfront, we eliminate uncertainty before construction begins. The result is a smoother build, fewer surprises, and better outcomes for homeowners and our contractor partners alike.

BuildFlow does not sell DIY plans, partial construction services, or standalone drawings without execution. We are not a handyman service, and we do not operate as a general contractor ourselves. Our system is designed for homeowners seeking a complete, professionally planned basement project.

WHAT BUILDFLOW DOES NOT OFFER

Construction is completed by experienced, licensed, and insured local contractors who specialize in basement finishing. Each partner builds directly from the BuildFlow plan, ensuring consistency and accountability. This model allows homeowners to get the benefits of a structured system with trusted local execution.

OUR LOCAL PARTNER MODEL

SERVICE AREAS

BuildFlow serves select twin cities metropolitan areas through a zone-based partner model. Availability depends on location and contractor coverage — please visit your local service page to confirm availability.

Step 1: Project Review & Fit

Homeowners submit a consultation request, and our team reviews project goals, location, and scope to confirm service availability and project fit.

Step 2: Planning & BuildPack Development

BuildFlow creates a complete BuildPack that may include:

  • Layout and design planning

  • Material selections and scope definition

  • Detailed documentation prepared for permitting requirements

This phase ensures the project is clearly defined before any construction work begins.

Step 3: Local Construction Execution

Once the BuildPack is complete, construction is performed by an independent, licensed, and insured local contractor partner who builds directly from the approved plan.

BuildFlow remains involved in coordination and documentation support, while construction agreements and execution are handled directly between the homeowner and the contractor.
