How a job runs
One thread from posted to paid
Most tools cover one step of this and hand you off for the rest. This is the whole run, on one record, for both sides of it.
Step 01
Post the scope
The GC lists trades, budget range, timeline and drawings.
Step 02
Bids arrive
Subs working that trade find it, save it, and price it.
Step 03
Award the work
Shortlist, accept one bid, and the job opens automatically.
Step 04
Build it
Status, tasks and percent complete update as work happens.
Step 05
Invoice & pay
Bill flat or by progress draw. The GC pays by card.
Step 06
Review both ways
Each side rates the other once the job is finished.
Two sides, one job
Whichever end of the contract you're on
Every trade on the site
Twelve trades, one directory
Pick the trade to narrow the board. Each company profile then lists the specific services it actually offers.
Why anyone should trust the other side
Accountability is the product
A marketplace is only worth using if the person on the other end is real, and the record of what was agreed survives the argument.
Straight dealing
Four promises about the money
The terms are the same for everyone on the platform, and they don't change once you've won the work.
You keep the whole contract
The invoice settles straight from the GC to the sub. We don't take a percentage of the job.
Your place in the results is earned
Search orders by verification and rating. There is no position to buy, at any price.
Your number stays yours
Your bid goes to the GC who posted the work. Competing bidders see how many proposals came in — never what anyone bid.
The plan is the whole cost
No fee for an introduction, none per bid you send, and no commission at the end of it.
Start with one job. See how it runs.
