How it works

From video tour to signed job

  1. Post your job

    Answer a few questions about the work and record a video tour of the site on your phone. Builders see your area, never your address.

  2. Get five quotes

    Five builders send itemised quotes and ask questions in the chat. Decline one and another builder takes its place.

  3. Accept and meet

    Accept the quote you want. Only then do you and that builder see each other's name and phone number.

For builders

Free leads. Pay only when you win.

No credits, no paying for leads that go nowhere. You pay 2.5% of the contract value when a homeowner accepts your quote.

Quote from video

Homeowners film the site before you quote, so fewer wasted trips to jobs you'll never win.

Real competition, capped at five

Each job goes to five builders at most, so every lead is a real chance to win work.

Paid by direct debit

The commission is collected automatically 14 days after the job is accepted. No chasing invoices.

Job€10,000
Commission (2.5%)€250.00
VAT on commission (23%)€57.50
You pay€307.50
VAT-registered builders reclaim the VAT, so the real cost is the 2.5%.

Questions

Good to know

Is it free for homeowners?

Yes. Posting a job, getting quotes and chatting with builders costs nothing. Builders pay a commission only when you accept their quote.

Why can't builders see my phone number?

So you aren't chased by calls from builders you never chose. You talk in the app, compare quotes calmly, and share your details only with the builder you hire.

Can a builder price my job from a video?

For most fencing, roofing, septic and renovation jobs, a good video tour and a few questions are enough for a firm quote. If the work turns out different on the day, changes are agreed in writing in the app.

How is the 2.5% commission paid?

When a homeowner accepts a quote, the builder gets one invoice for 2.5% of the contract value plus VAT, collected by direct debit 14 days later. How the homeowner pays the builder is agreed between them.
