Buildjoin

Find your crew.Compare bids.Keep building.

Buildjoin connects general contractors with subcontractors that Buildjoin has reviewed, in their trade and service area. Send work at your price or ask for bids, then follow it to closeout in one place.

I'm a General Contractor

Upload a work order, send it to available crews, compare bids and track the job.

I'm a Subcontractor

Apply once, keep your availability current, and receive work in your trades and area.

Join free during our early-access testing. No credit card needed.

Homeowners: your contractor will send you an invitation to follow your project.

Work at a set price

Your price, the right crew, no back-and-forth

When your work order already has a price, Buildjoin sends it to available subcontractors in that trade and area. Companies accepting new work hear first; you confirm who takes it.

For general contractors

  1. Upload your work order and its documents.
  2. Check what Buildjoin read, side by side with your original, and confirm it. Nothing is invented: anything unclear is flagged for you.
  3. Release it. Subcontractors accepting new work in that trade and area are notified first; others with limited availability follow if nobody accepts.
  4. The first company to accept holds it until you confirm or decline.
  5. Follow the work: readiness, blockers, photos, inspections, punch list and closeout.

For subcontractors

  1. Apply and upload your license and insurance. Buildjoin reviews them before you receive work.
  2. Keep your availability current. It decides which offers you receive.
  3. See the work, the location, the dates and the offered payment. Accept it or pass.
  4. Report progress with photos from your phone, and submit completion when it's done.
  5. Send invoices and lien waivers and see their payment status. Buildjoin tracks payments; it doesn't move money.
