From first assessment to years of effortless ownership.

A clear start, four planned seasonal visits, and one familiar team for everything your home needs between them.

Getting started

01

Property assessment

We build your Home Profile — a living record of the home's history, equipment, documents, and specs — so future work can be scoped and estimated easily, without repeat meetings or wasted time.

$1,750 one-time *Property assessment charge does not apply to homes built by our team
02

Membership begins

Your records, service history, estimates, and communication live in one owner workspace, with priority access to your dedicated Home Asset Manager.

03

Your annual plan

We establish a four-visit care rhythm shaped around the property, its systems, and the work each season calls for.

Four seasonal visits each year

What happens each season.

The same simple approval path repeats every visit, so nothing is booked before you understand the scope and estimated cost.

Estimate

Get your most precious asset back — time.

The hidden cost of a beautiful home isn't money — it's the hours.

01

It's Tuesday. You're in a meeting. The plumber was supposed to come at 9.

We schedule, coordinate, and supervise every trade — you never burn a day waiting again.

02

The estimate seems high. Is the work even necessary?

With a builder's eye on every job, we verify the work is right and the estimated range is fair — before you proceed.

03

You're on a flight. The alarm company calls about a water alert.

We're your advocate on the ground. One message and it's handled, documented, and reported back.

04

There's a crack above the window. Is it normal? Who do you even call?

Snap a photo and ask us. We'll tell you whether it matters and take it from there.

05

Plumber, electrician, landscaper, pool guy — and none of them knows your house.

One person who knows your home inside and out. No more explaining from scratch.

06

Winter's coming. Are the gutters clear? Is the irrigation blown out?

We handle the seasonal changeover — your home is ready before the weather turns.

07

The furnace manual is… somewhere. The warranty expired… when?

Every manual, warranty, and service record in one place, ready when you need it.

08

A stranger with a toolbox is about to walk through your home.

Every trade is vetted, trusted, and supervised by us. Nobody enters your home without our say-so.

09

You go to sell. The inspection finds issues, and every one becomes a negotiation.

With a documented home log and an advocate who has been with the property, you can show how the home was maintained, what was completed, and what remains — with facts instead of uncertainty.

Peace of mind is the product.

This isn't property management — which is reactive by nature. This is builder-level expert management of your asset: complete peace of mind, your time back, and your home preserved for the future.

The owner workspace

Every detail, without the noise.

A calm, shared view of care, history, documents, and decisions—backed by a dedicated Home Asset Manager who knows the property.

Your visit

Every visit, built around you.

A practical planning guide

What should a home cost to care for each year?

Homeowners and property professionals have long used 0.5–1% of a home’s rebuild value per year as a maintenance budgeting rule of thumb. It creates a realistic reserve for routine service, preventative work, and the larger needs that emerge as a home and its systems age.

$4.0M

Use the estimated cost to rebuild the house itself — not the property’s market value and not the land.

0.5% guide$20,000Annual lower range
1% guide$40,000Annual upper range
Annual home care planning range by rebuild value The shaded range increases from one-half to one percent of the home's rebuild value, excluding land. A movable marker shows the selected rebuild value.
0.5–1% annual planning range

A guide, not a promise. Actual annual costs vary with the home’s age, systems, finishes, condition, and the way you live in it. BuiltCare uses the range to set expectations, then builds each seasonal estimate around the work your home actually needs.

Our goal is simple: through effective management and expert insight, you spend less over the life of your home than you would managing it independently—even after every BuiltCare fee is considered. Most importantly, you get your time back.

Independent ownership

Reactive by default.

Owners carry the coordination burden, find trades under pressure, and rebuild the property’s history each time something changes.

Knowledge stays with the property. Care is planned, the right people are ready, and the owner sees what matters without managing every detail.

Builder insight, applied for life

A builder’s eye for every stage of ownership.

At LDJ, we’ve been building homes for clients and their families for over 40 years. That experience has taught us that the true value of a home lies in the life you share within it—the long dinners, slow summers, and memories made with the people you love.

It has also shown us how much time and attention caring for a home can demand. BuiltCare was created to carry our relationship beyond the build, bringing a builder’s eye to the ongoing care of your home and acting as your trusted advocate. Because time is our most precious asset, our goal is simple: to look after your home so you can spend more of yours enjoying it.

Questions, answered

A clearer way to care for your home.

What is BuiltCare?

Private home asset management. We look after your home the way a builder would — proactively, season by season — so you get your time back and complete peace of mind.

How is this different from property management?

Property management is reactive by nature. This is builder-level expert management of your asset: we know where homes fail, catch issues early, and advocate for you — protecting your time and preserving your home for the future.

What happens during a seasonal visit?

One visit per season, multiple things handled. Your Home Asset Manager efficiently schedules the approved work over a day or two, coordinates every trade, supervises the work, and reports back — minimizing disruption to your home.

What level of supervision can I choose?

Basic scheduling coordination and oversight — including entry and lock-up on each visit day — is included. Part-day oversight is pro-rated at $180 per day when you need your Home Asset Manager on-site for key portions. If you can’t be there or are away, add full-day oversight for $360 per day and your Home Asset Manager will stay on-site all day. Your estimate calculates supervision across the number of days in the visit.

How do Required, Recommended, and Add-on Services work?

Required covers the must-do core of each seasonal visit. Recommended is what your Home Asset Manager suggests for your home. Add-on Services cover the things that simply come up — like BBQ detailing, holiday lighting, or a home repair. Send a message or photo in the app, and your Home Asset Manager takes it from there.

What if something goes wrong while I'm away?

We're your advocate on the ground. Message us, we handle it, document it, and report back. Urgent issues are dealt with immediately; non-urgent ones fold into your next seasonal visit.

What does BuiltCare cost?

A $399/month membership covers the platform, the app, your home's data storage, and priority access to your Home Asset Manager. For each seasonal visit, your Home Asset Manager prepares a work estimate covering the supervision level, expected hours, and scope. You review the estimated range and give the go-ahead before anything is scheduled. You're always in control of the costs.

How does pricing work?

Each seasonal plan shows a practical estimate range, including a running total as you choose services. It is an approximate guide, not a fixed price; final billing reflects the work, materials, and hours actually required.

Is there a markup on trade invoices?

Yes — we're transparent about that. The markup covers the admin and management of coordinating everything for you. But our buying power secures discounted trade costs, which offsets that markup — so you get fully managed service without paying more than you would juggling trades yourself.

How does billing work?

One place, one credit card. Instead of paying multiple trades separately, everything runs through a single simple bill — easy to track, easy to pay.

How much is the property assessment?

The property assessment is a one-time fee of $1,750. The property assessment charge does not apply to homes built by our team, because we already know the home from the ground up. The completed assessment is yours to keep.
