Split the job into packages. Put your price on each one and send it out to the trades around your site. The companies answer, and you pick the winner.
Claim your free pageYou call six subs for one package. Two call back. One price arrives by text, another as a photo of a notepad, and they cover different work.
You finish the job, then spend two weeks calling about the check. 59% of small businesses have invoices 30 days late or worse.
Lead sites bill you whether you win the job or not, and sell the same lead to five other pros.
Post the package with the price you're ready to pay, and every company in that trade near your site can answer. Your number stays with you. The companies see each other's prices, never the names behind them, and they keep sharpening until the room closes. You see every offer with the company on it, and you award whoever you want.
Scope, deadline, and the price you're ready to pay. That number is yours alone: nobody in the room ever sees it. You are setting the bar instead of collecting quotes.

Gulf Coast ElectricMiami Circuit CoSunline Voltage✓ Every offer arrives with a name, a rating and a job countEach company watches the other prices move, with no name attached and no sight of your target. You get the whole board: every offer with the company behind it, its rating and its lead time. They can sharpen right up to the deadline.

1Gulf Coast Electric$48,200Awarded2Miami Circuit Co$51,0003Sunline Voltage$44,900Package awarded at $48,200 · $3,800 under your targetThe whole price is paid up front and held by a licensed processor. When a step is done you send photos, your customer approves, and the money moves that day. Once a step is paid, a later cancellation cannot reach it.
The five rules below are enforced by the payment plan, not by a phone call. The same on a $600 repair and on a $73,500 repipe.
Your customer approves, the money leaves escrow for your balance. A later cancellation refunds only what is still in escrow. It cannot reach a step you were paid for.
You send the photos, Beedy chases your customer by text, WhatsApp or email. If they still say nothing a few days after that reminder, the step validates on its own and the money leaves. Never before a reminder has gone out.
If your customer reports a defect, nothing moves in either direction: no auto-release, no automatic refund. You get 14 days to schedule the repair and do it. If you go quiet, your customer can hand the file to support after 4 days. Then a person at Beedy reads it and decides.
Once your last step is approved, a fifth of the price stays in escrow for 14 days, then releases without anyone clicking, unless a complaint is open. That holdback is what makes a customer comfortable paying the whole job before day one.
The estimate your customer e-signed, with its timestamp. Your arrival, confirmed by GPS at the address. The photos on every step, the change orders the customer paid for, the chat. If anyone ever has to decide, that is what they read.
Assign any step to another Beedy pro. When your customer approves it, the money goes straight to that pro's own account. You don't front the cash, and it never lands in your books as revenue. What you pay them stays between you and them.
Split it into as many packages as it has trades and run a room on each. Every package you award stays under your job, and the budget adds up as the awards land, so you know what the building costs before the first slab is poured.
No tiers, no add-ons, no "available on the $299/mo plan". We make money when you get paid, and that's it.
Your customer sends photos and describes the problem in their own words. Beedy turns that into a technical brief: likely cause, what to bring, access notes, rough hours. You quote from facts instead of guessing.
Line items, suggested steps, e-signature. Your customer gets it by email the second you send it.
One QR for the truck, one link for your bio, each named so you know which one brings you customers. Requests reach only you.
Every customer, job, photo and payment in one file, built as you work. Yours to keep, free, forever.
Connect Google Calendar once, in one tap. Every job you win shows up on it at the right hour, with the address, the customer and reminders before you leave.
Handshake deals end in small claims court. On Beedy, the estimate your customer signs is the contract, and the payment plan enforces it.
Other platforms take your customer list and sell it back to you. We put the opposite in writing.

Your price, yes. Your name, no. The other companies see the amounts on the table and nothing else: no company name, no rating, no lead time, and not the contractor's target either. Only the contractor sees who is behind each offer. A sealed process is how a contractor ends up with six quotes two weeks apart that nobody can compare.
The cheapest amount on the board is a number with no company attached. Nobody bidding can tell whether it comes from a crew that starts Monday or from one that shows up in three weeks. The contractor can: your offer reaches him with your lead time and your rating on it. He awards the package himself, and nothing hands it to the lowest price by default.
