What users should know before starting

Clear expectations are part of a safer marketplace.

View all questions
Are proposals visible to competing professionals?+

No. Commercial proposals and prices are private to the project owner, authorised staff and the professional who submitted them.

Does verification guarantee project quality?+

No. Verification confirms specific evidence reviewed by the marketplace. Owners must still review experience, scope, references, insurance and contractual suitability.

Can AI choose the winning proposal?+

No. AI may structure, compare and explain information, but the project owner approves the professional, package, contract and important changes.

Can the platform manage construction changes?+

Yes. Change orders can record added or removed scope, cost effects, programme changes and approval history.

Are payments held in escrow?+

Only where an authorised payment provider and the marketplace legal model support it. The platform must not describe ordinary internal records as regulated escrow.

Can I work with professionals remotely?+

Yes for suitable design, consultancy and documentation tasks. Site-dependent services still require appropriate local attendance and verification.
