04 / Frequently asked
Building at the fair price: your questions
How much can you save building your own house?
On materials, the gap between stores is 10 to 25% on the same product. Multiplied across the hundreds of items in a house, that is thousands of dollars. Bâtir à Rabais finds the lowest price for every item on your list.
How do I manage the materials budget of a self-build?
Compare each batch before buying and follow a clear buying plan, store by store. You see where every dollar goes and avoid overpaying phase by phase, from foundation to finish.
Where do I buy self-build materials in Quebec?
No banner is cheapest on everything. Canac, BMR, Home Depot, Patrick Morin, Rona and the others fight item by item. We compare them all and build your cheapest buying plan.
Does it work for a large materials list?
Yes, that is exactly what it is for. Paste or import lists of hundreds of items, the AI recognizes them and returns the lowest price for each.
How much does it cost?
Seeing up to 3 prices a day is free. To compare full build lists, a 14-day free trial unlocks everything, then our plans include a set number of comparisons per month suited to a large build that spans several months. See the Pricing page for details.
