Employee appreciation takes place through tangible benefits like free lunches every Tuesday, in-person retreats, and professional development. Employees are compensated at a competitive rate that is continually adjusted, which also includes 100% employer-covered health insurance, 401K, unlimited PTO, and flexible working hours. Ownership in 1build is shared through employee stock grants. Our value of Winning Together encourages teams to work collaboratively and shout out big and small wins on a daily basis. Appreciation doesn’t come only from official leadership sources—it’s fully integrated into our culture.
1build hires globally, actively sourcing a diverse candidate pool. We are committed to growing our company with employees across backgrounds, cultures, and values, and at all levels within our organization.
The 1build vision is centered around uniting construction companies, suppliers, vendors, and business owners under a single digital data standard. The goal of connecting and simplifying the entire construction process is attracting professionals who are ready to face a big problem and create big solutions. As an early-stage startup, there is room for growth and development at 1build, paired with a healthy company trajectory. As 1build has grown, our employees have also thrived. Team members hired during our seed round for data management are now running full-scale revenue operations, and previous contract construction estimators have joined our team full time to provide first-class customer onboarding and product education. The opportunity to work alongside seasoned startup professionals, as well as knowledgable SaaS architects and developers, means every person at 1build is expanding their knowledge and career opportunities. Our values include: Delight Builders Daily, Step Up to the Challenge, Seek and Speak the Truth, Focus and Simplify, Excellence in Every Action, and Win Together. Our team embraces these values every day in everything we do. 1build launched from the Winter 2020 cohort at Y Combinator and is backed by prominent investors like Greycroft and Initialized Capital. In 2021, 1build secured Series A funding and is on track for Series B.
Disrupting a Low-Tech Sector by Bringing Data Efficiency to the Construction Proces: 1build is focused on bringing local and specific data to the people who build everything around us. Rather than flipping through an outdated cost book, or trying to find a price for sheetrock, we are equipping construction contractors with the numbers they need to accurately price their materials, equipment, and labor. We all know how hard it is to predict the cost of anything these days, but with the power of thousands of data points, 1build is making what used to be a preconstruction guessing game more precise every day. Add in an easy-to-use, cloud-based software that allows even your oldest superintendent to connect field measurements to real-time material pricing, and we’re changing the way buildings come together, from first sketch to grand opening. To all the builders - this is for you.
