Chad Kouse

Chad Kouse is StartBuild's Chief Technology Officer and has spent roughly 20 years building the cost-to-build platform behind CostToBuildAHouse — the estimating engine, the cost database the team refreshes 10–12 times a year, and the tools that turn any house plan and ZIP code into a localized, line-item estimate. A Computer Systems graduate of Miami University, he previously co-founded and served as CTO of TuneWiki, and has built and scaled mobile, web, and large-scale data systems throughout his career.
