Something happened to construction.
You used to hire someone to build something for you, designed to meet your specific needs. But construction became a process too complex for its own good. Plans, permits, contractors, delays, overruns — it's all become a nightmare of uncertainty, expense, and frustration.
Today's homeowners face an impossible choice: spend a fortune on custom additions that take forever, overpay for some prefabs, settle for a cheap shed that feels temporary, or just make do with the space you have.
For over 15 years, I've worked in real estate development, watching people struggle with this problem firsthand. The patterns became clear: construction projects succeed when they're predictable, fail when they're not.
Add up what people spend on delays, custom design, and permit headaches. You could have built twice the space by now.
Custom building still makes sense for many projects, but for adding practical space to your property? Its days are numbered. The traditional model is hopelessly complicated — architects designing things they don't build, contractors building things they didn't design, and you are caught in the middle managing a process you barely understand.
This type of construction should be a product, not a project.
Introducing FlexSheds, a new approach to adding space from BuildReady.
Two spaces, built in your backyard in under 30 days.
Half the cost of traditional home additions.
No permits needed — we've designed within the limits.
Standard materials, standard plans, remarkable results.
Built right the first time, with no surprises.
We don't build custom. We build what works.
Our 192-square-foot structures feature a practical two-zone system. You select one purpose for each zone — lounge, flex, sleep, store, or work — creating a space that meets your specific needs without the complexity of custom design.
When Katie and I started BuildReady, we wanted to unlock the value of land for homeowners. While we continue our work on land development, FlexSheds has emerged as our primary focus — and for good reason. FlexSheds is the result of listening to customers who need real solutions: remote workers seeking a dedicated home office, families needing space for multigenerational living, and homeowners wanting room for their passions — whether it's crafting, music, fitness, or just a personal retreat.
In the early 2000s, construction companies convinced everyone that custom was the only way. Now, after decades of watching projects go over budget and past deadlines, we intend to help lead the way out. The post-custom construction era is here for practical space additions.
