Questions
Do I need to be a certain age to join?
You must be 18 or older to join.
Is it free to become a member?
Yes, there is no cost.
Do I need to live somewhere specific to join?
No, all locations are welcome to join!
Do I need to be a professional builder?
No. Whether you're just getting started or deep in the work, you're welcome to apply.
Do I need a finished project to apply?
No, but showing finished work or work in progress helps us understand what you build.
Who owns the work I make?
You do! The Builder Network is a community for sharing knowledge and supporting each other's work. Anything you share remains yours. (If you take on paid work through the network, that engagement will have its own terms.)
Can I reapply if I'm not selected?
Absolutely. Please include anything new you've built since.
How do you decide who to accept into the network?
We're looking for builders who are genuinely shipping. Finished or in-progress projects, not just ideas. We value taste, craft, and curiosity over credentials. The strongest applications show us what you've made and a sense of where you're going. We review applications on a rolling basis.
