- Get free targeted leads
- Connect with opportunities
- Bid on projects online
- Free membership and low cost fee structure for bidding on homeowner projects
Basic Flow for HouseSight’s Online Contractor Bid Auction Service is:
- A homeowner uploads a home remodeling/construction project to HouseSight for bid
- Contractors local to the project are emailed, via HouseSight, about the project
- HouseSight contractor members bid on the project, only if they are interested in it
- Homeowner reviews submitted bids and awards a contractor the project
A key benefit of this service is that it provides a very detailed online “Request for Quote” form that ensures the homeowner provides all the necessary information for contractors to bid on the project. Besides completing a “Request for Quote” form, homeowners can upload supporting drawings and other information germane to the project to help contractors accurately bid on the project.
Similarly, a contractor bid response will be inputted into a standard online bid form, which will help the homeowner make easy and fair apples-to-apples bid comparisons.
Cost for Service
The cost for this service is shared by the homeowner and contractor. A homeowner submitting a project pays a small submission fee. On the contractor cost side, sign-up for the service is free. Even the cost for notification of a project opportunity is free. When a contractor bids on a project they will pay a small fee. The contractor who wins the project will also pay an additional commission fee for securing the business.
