Under what condition is a Buildingstars franchisee's training limited to specific areas?
Buildingstars Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
However, if you are already a 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, if a franchisee already owns a Buildingstars franchise under one program (Technician, On-Site Manager, or Corporate) and then purchases a franchise for another program, their training will be limited to only those training areas that they have not previously completed. This means that Buildingstars recognizes prior training and experience within its system.
For a prospective Buildingstars franchisee, this policy could save time and resources. Instead of repeating training modules already mastered, they can focus on the new skills and knowledge required for the additional franchise program. This is particularly beneficial for existing franchisees looking to expand their business within the Buildingstars system.
It is important to note that while the training fee is waived for the principal owner and one employee, the franchisee is still responsible for covering wages, travel, and living expenses associated with attending the training program. The initial training program duration varies depending on the program: approximately 4 hours for the Technician Program, 13 hours for the On-Site Manager Program, and 21 hours for the Corporate Program.
