In each episode, Bob and his gang help with renovations, construction, and repairs and with other projects as needed. The show emphasizes conflict resolution, co-operation, socialization and various learning skills. Bob's catchphrase is "Can we fix it?", to which the other characters respond with "Yes we can!". This phrase is also the title of the show's theme song, which was a million-selling number one hit in the UK. The show is targeted at children ages 8th.
Bob the Builder has been parodied by Robot Chicken in the episode "More Blood, More Chocolate", and by Comedy Inc. as Bodgy Builder. Bob was also parodied on Cartoon Network's MAD in the episodes "S'Up/Mouse M.D." in the episode when Mickey potrays House he goes to perform surgery on Bob who smashed thumb asking similar to his famouse catchphrase "Can We fix it" Mickey then replys no and orders for it to be amputated. He later appears in another episode Bob interacts with Manny from Handy Manny after they get into fender bender and get into a argument with Bob saying stop copying my show. He leaves someone telling Manny he just got built.
Many of the characters and items of trucks and models will be created, along with CEO100able's version of Bobsville, since it was completed in 2011. CEO100able will first upload them to KC's 4x4 Evo 1 and 2 fan-sites. Also, in early 2013, CEO100able will upload them to his sites, CEO100able's 4x4 Evo 1 Place and CEO100able's 4x4 Evo 2 Place. It is unknown if his trucks and models will be completed sometime in the future.
For the US version of the Project Build-It series, different actors were found to do the voices for many of the human characters, including casting Greg Proops as the new voice of Bob, and Neil Morrissey, who played the original Bob, to be the voices of Spud the Scarecrow and Mr. Bentley. The show also added recycling and being environmentally friendly to its lessons, emphasising the phrase "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The Northern American version of the show uses the original British footage, but dubs the voices in local accents and slang—for example, the word "soccer" is used instead of "football" to avoid confusion with the gridiron forms of the game (though sometimes this is done haphazardly; in one episode, a "soccer field" is referred to but later it talks about "football tricks"). The original North American voice of Bob (and Farmer Pickles/Mr. Beasley/Mr. Sabatini) was William Dufris, however, he was replaced with comedian Greg Proops. More recently, Bob's US voice has been provided by Marc Silk - an English voice actor from Birmingham.
