Relic Build

Concept to keys, for one flat fee.

You own the land. Relic runs the project from the first drawing to the day you get the keys. Relic’s own team designs the concept architecture and the concept interiors, and a Relic Team Member oversees the entire project. We bring your architect of record and engineers, hire and manage the builder, hold the construction money in your project account, and put an inspector on your site. Relic’s fee is a flat 10% of construction cost, with a minimum fee of $75,000. There is no markup on materials or subcontracts. The building itself, including engineering and project insurance, is paid from the construction budget at cost, on the record.

What the ten percent buys

Twelve things you would otherwise hire, chase, or carry yourself

These are not add-ons and they are not tiers. Every Relic project gets all of it, and it is all inside the 10%. Your architect of record’s permit drawings, engineering and project insurance are billed at cost from the construction budget, and the hours of your construction manager ($250 an hour) and local inspector ($175 an hour) are billed separately.

Concept architecture

Relic designs your building — plans, massing, elevations and materials — built to last a thousand years. Your architect of record turns it into permit drawings, billed at cost.

Concept interior design

Every room designed: layouts, palettes, materials, lighting and furniture, so the finished building is resolved inside and out.

Oversight, start to keys

A Relic Team Member oversees your entire project: the architect, the engineers, the permits, the schedule and every trade on site.

Proactive AI

Scarab watches your budget, schedule, insurance and payments around the clock and tells you what needs a decision before it becomes a problem.

Builder selection

Relic bids the job, hires the general contractor, and holds them to the contract, price and schedule.

Procurement tools

Vendors sourced, orders placed and long-lead items tracked to your door, all administered against the budget.

24/7 phone and text

Call or text any hour. You reach a person and an AI that both know your drawings, your budget and your schedule.

Software built around you

Your own console for drawings, budget, decisions, photos and daily logs. Need a change or a new feature? It can be added the same day.

Centralized invoicing

One invoice from one company. Every vendor is paid through Relic against inspection, with a complete record for you and your lender.

Insurance, arranged

Relic places the project's insurance before work starts and verifies every trade's certificate. A lapsed certificate anywhere on the job stops the money automatically.

Legal & compliance

Contracts, lien waivers, accounting and the compliance work that quietly sinks self-managed builds.

Hire any of these separately and you are writing eight cheques to seven people who do not talk to each other. Relic is one contract, one console, one fee.

Zero risk

Insured, verified, and never your problem

The reason building is frightening is that the risk quietly becomes yours — an uninsured trade, a lien you never saw, a draw paid for work nobody checked. Relic makes sure the project and every trade on it are insured, takes each of those off the table, and the software enforces it rather than promising it.

Every trade insured, every day

General liability and workers' compensation verified before anyone sets foot on your site — and re-checked before every payment. A lapsed certificate stops the money automatically.

Insurance arranged for you

Relic arranges the project's insurance before work starts. It is paid from the construction budget at cost, with no markup, and it is not one more thing left for you to chase.

Protected from liens

Waivers collected and tracked against every dollar released, so a subcontractor dispute never becomes a claim on your property.

No dollar leaves unchecked

Every draw is measured against what an independent site visit actually found before it is released.

Coverage, limits and warranty terms are set out in your project agreement before anything is signed. Where Relic does not have a number, it says so — it never invents one.
