Ready, Steady, Build! (2010–2011)

The third spin-off is Bob the Builder: Ready, Steady, Build!. In June 2008, after production of Project: Build It wrapped up, it was announced that the series would be revamped for environmental CGI. The gang has now apparently moved to a place called Fixham Harbour and the show is now animated in CGI stop motion animation instead of the traditional stop-motion animation.

It features new characters that can move on water. The models have CGI faces. The characters from the previous spin-offs (like Gripper, Grabber, Splasher, Scrambler, Packer and Ella) are still present. Bob's Parents, Benny, Zoomer, Sumsy, Tumbler, Flex and Bristle appear to have their last appearance in Project: Build It currently. There's a segment called Bob's Jobs where a live action child appears on Bob's computer screen and needs help but Gripper and Grabber come in with stuff like rocks, crates, etc. and Bob finds out a safer way to use them. The series premiered every day on CBeebies between 4 May to 28 June 2009 and later between 26 September to 5 October 2011. This season was produced by SD Entertainment.
