What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Buildingstars's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee is not allowed to display any business name or service not authorized by Buildingstars. The franchisee must operate, advertise, and promote the business under the name "Buildingstars" without any prefix or suffix, and use the marks and system licensed by Buildingstars in the manner prescribed by them.
Buildingstars franchisees must continuously and prominently display the marks in connection with their business and must not take any action that might detract from the public image of Buildingstars, the business, the system, or the marks. This includes ensuring that no unauthorized business names or services are displayed at the business location.
If a customer requests services or products that are not normally rendered in connection with the Buildingstars system, the franchisee must first notify Buildingstars and obtain approval. Buildingstars will not unreasonably object to the franchisee's request, provided that the services do not interfere with the franchise services, are not associated with the marks and system, the franchisee is capable of providing the services in a good manner, and the customer is fully aware that the services are not being rendered in connection with the franchise. Buildingstars retains the right to object to any future requests.
