Quote for work and get signed off

Take a job from the invitation through to a completed, signed-off record with a rating.

For verified contractors

You are competing. Several independent businesses can be invited to the same job, and none of you can see the others' prices.

  1. 1

    Pick up the invitation

    Invitations appear on your Today queue badged “Invited to quote”, with a notification. You can only quote on a job you were invited to — the system refuses anything else with “You are not invited to quote on this ticket.”

  2. 2

    Submit your quote

    The quote form asks for:

    Amount
    Excluding VAT; the VAT-inclusive total is optional
    Scope
    What the price covers
    Quote document
    Required — PDF, Excel, Word or a photo, up to 10 MB
    Valid until
    How long the price stands
    Proposed start date & time
    Required — this is what schedules the job if you win

    There is no separate scheduling step

    The start date you put on the quote is the one that takes effect if your quote is approved. Get it right at quoting time.
  3. 3

    Or decline it

    If you cannot take the job, decline it before any quote is accepted. You choose a reason from a short list and can add a note. The job carries on with the other contractors invited.

  4. 4

    Do the work

    If your quote is approved you are notified and the job is awarded to you. Mark it in progress when you start — that stamps your first-response and attendance times, which feed your performance record.

  5. 5

    Submit completion evidence

    To submit for sign-off you must upload a Certificate of Compliance and at least two completion photographs. The form will not accept anything less.

  6. 6

    Respond to the review

    The manager approves, asks for more evidence with a reason, or raises a snag. If more evidence is requested, your next upload is kept as a new numbered submission alongside the first — nothing is overwritten.

    For a snag, you accept it and propose a date to fix it. You cannot start the fix until the client has approved that date.

  7. 7

    Get closed out and rated

    Before the job can close you confirm there is no further extra work coming. The client then closes it out and rates you from one to five stars.

    One reputation

    Your rating pools across every client you work for, corporate and homeowner alike. It follows the business, not the job.
