How BuildBids Works
We walk you through exactly how BuildBids gets paid.

- Business registration information
- Google Business Profile URL (required)

Before you can bid
Business registration, identity and valid commercial liability insurance are mandatory. A Google Business Profile is recommended but not required. Contractors can browse projects right away, but cannot submit bids until verification is complete, and bidding is paused automatically if insurance expires.
