Home services

Software purchasing at The BrickKicker is controlled at the franchisor level, with President Andrew Fox and Director of Administration Sarah Westerman listed as key executives in the 2023 FDD. The system mandates Home Inspector Pro and Inspector Support Network (ISN) for its 26 total units (23 franchised, 3 company-owned).

The vendor opportunity at The BrickKicker

The BrickKicker operates 26 total units—23 franchised and 3 company-owned—according to its 2023 Franchise Disclosure Document. The system has experienced a year-over-year unit decline of 21.2%, which may signal consolidation or churn. For software vendors, the addressable market is small but concentrated: a single franchisor controls purchasing decisions, and the mandated tech stack creates clear integration or replacement opportunities. The royalty rate is 6.0%, and the initial franchise term is 5 years.

Who controls software purchasing

The 2023 FDD identifies Andrew Fox, President, and Sarah Westerman, Director of Administration, as the key executives at the franchisor level. In a system of this size, software evaluation and purchasing authority almost certainly rests with these individuals. Vendors should direct outreach to this small buying center rather than individual franchisees, as the franchisor mandates core operational systems.

Mandated and current tech stack

The BrickKicker mandates two systems: Home Inspector Pro for inspection reporting and Inspector Support Network (ISN) for business operations. These are named in the FDD as required technology. Any vendor selling into this franchise must understand how their product complements, integrates with, or replaces these mandated tools. No other mandated or recommended systems are disclosed in the 2023 FDD.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

Item 8 of the FDD does not provide a procurement extract, so the specific supplier designation process is not publicly documented. Vendors should clarify whether The BrickKicker uses a designated supplier, approved supplier list, or open procurement model. On renewals, Item 17 states franchisees may renew for two additional terms of 5 or fewer years each, and after 15 years, terms may be mutually renegotiated. These renewal inflection points may open windows for software evaluation. The franchisor can refuse renewal if conditions are not met, reinforcing centralized control.
