Submit A Project Project owners simply need to register and then enter their project information into our on line system, and wait for contractors to make a bid request. Project Owners can also request specific contractors of their choosing, rather than approving incoming requests. We also provide an "Apples-To-Apples" rating system which you can compare to other ratings systems like Angie's List to help make your decision. You will also participate in the ratings for your selected contractor, after the project is completed; so that ratings are based on real customer experiences that are limited to projects that were actually completed within our system.

Contractor Registration Contractors simply need to register with "Apples-To-Apples" to be able to apply for projects, and to be requested directly by project owners. Registration with us includes a weekly email of job leads matching your coverage areas defined in your profile. All of this is available to you for free, while other lead companies can charge thousands of dollars for job leads! Now how valuable is that?

Reviewing Bid Requests Project owners and contractors will review a list of bid requests to either accept or decline the request. Either way (accepted or declined), the system automatically notifies the other party of the current status of their request. Once a contractor is finally approved to bid on the project, the actual bidding then takes place. This allows very clear communication about who gets to bid on your project, and limits the final number of selected contractors to bid on your project to three. This makes it easier for you to manage, and also makes it a more fair situation for any contractor bidding on a job.

Filling Out The Bids Contractors, even if you already have a system for calculating the costs of your projects, you will find our system is very easy to use. With the ability to add other line items to the end of your estimates, you will automatically participate in the future expansion of the base templates; with your feedback and general use of the system. What this means for you is: a system that is based on standards driven by the contractors using our system. All of the estimate templates will be perfected over time, and will be modified to keep up with any changes to the estimating standards in your industry. However the base templates are designed to provide a mechanism of standardization of the estimating process, and you'll get to be an important part of this new and exciting way to provide estimates, by simply using our system and through providing your feedback.

Reviewing Bids Project owners are in full control over whether or not a contractor is filling out the bid to their liking, as they can review the bidding while the contractor is filling out the on line bids. Once all of the contractors have finalized their bids, the project owner can begin the process of the final review and selection. During the final review process, the project owner selects the final bid winner. Once the contractor is selected, everyone is notified of the status of their bid. It's never been easier to compare and approve your bids, so why not get started today?
It's all FREE so you have nothing to lose!

Email Notifications During the entire project, project owners and contractors will get email notifications to keep them up to date, about their bid requests, bid reviews, etc. We will send out email notifications to let you know of any important updates to the project statuses, bid request statuses, as well as the final bid winner. This way everyone knows immediately what the current status of the project is, without always having to sign into our system to find out.
