franchisee under one program and you purchase a franchise for another program, your training will be limited to those training areas which you have not previously taken. Although we do not charge for two people (the principal owner and one employee) to take the Initial Training Program, you are responsible for wages, travel and living expenses for you and your employees.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Buildingstars' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training program for the Corporate Program takes place at one of Buildingstars' corporate offices. These offices are located in St. Louis County, MO, Phoenix, AZ, Tampa, FL, Atlanta, GA, Chicago, IL, Overland Park, KS, East Brunswick, NJ, Charlotte, NC, Raleigh-Durham, NC, Pittsburgh, PA, Nashville, TN, Dallas, TX, Houston, TX, or San Antonio, TX. The specific location will depend on which office is closer to the new franchisee.
The Corporate Program's initial training is approximately 21 hours long. Buildingstars does not charge for the initial training of two people (the principal owner and one employee). However, the franchisee is responsible for covering wages, travel, and living expenses for themselves and their employees during the training period.
If a franchisee already operates under one Buildingstars program and purchases a franchise for another program, the training will focus only on areas not previously covered. All designated training is mandatory for the principal owner. The franchisee (or principal owner) and their employee must attend the Initial Training Program promptly after signing the Franchise Agreement and must complete it before opening their Buildingstars business.
