Regional availability and trade fit are reviewed before enrollment. No payment is taken with your application. Opportunity Intelligence availability is confirmed separately.
A few good questions.
Who is the network for?
Contractors, builders, remodelers, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, and other professionals supporting construction projects. We review your specialty, service area, and capacity to find the right regional fit.
Does membership guarantee leads or jobs?
No. Referrals depend on customer demand, permission to connect, project needs, and provider fit. Membership also creates opportunities for local partnerships and relevant website listings; it does not guarantee referral volume, booked work, or search rankings.
Where will my business be listed?
We review the local permit guides relevant to your specialty and service area, then confirm appropriate listing locations and links to your website during onboarding. Applying does not automatically publish a listing.
Is Opportunity Intelligence available today?
Opportunity Intelligence is in development. It is being built to help our team assess property and permit context before progressing an opportunity. The illustrations on this page show the direction, not a live inventory or a contractor dashboard included today. We’ll confirm available benefits before you enroll.
What happens after I apply?
We review your business, specialty, service area, and regional capacity. We then follow up to discuss fit, listing options, and the $300/month membership before taking payment. An application does not reserve an exclusive territory or start a subscription.
