The whole bidding process, without the price race.
Post the work, let the right pros respond privately, and see every bid together when the window closes. Bidmark gives customers a calmer way to compare and pros a fair shot at the work that fits.

Your project brief
Scope, photos, budget, timeline
The flow
Four steps. One clear decision.
The better the brief, the more useful the bids. The same simple sequence carries the job from first details to final award.
- 01
Step 01 · Customer starts
Post the job with the details that matter.
Share the scope, photos, budget, location, and timeline. A useful brief gives the right pros enough context to price the work instead of guessing.
Scope · photos · budget · location · timeline
- 02
Step 02 · Matching happens
Matched pros submit sealed bids.
Bidmark matches the brief to pros by trade and service area. Every matched pro sees the same brief, while each bid stays private during the bidding window.
Same brief · matched pros · no visible price race
- 03
Step 03 · The window closes
The reveal timer opens every bid together.
Pros do not watch a live leaderboard or chase a moving price. When the deadline arrives, every submitted bid opens at the same time so the customer can compare the real set of options.
Deadline-driven · all bids open together · privacy until then
- 04
Step 04 · Customer decides
Compare, ask questions, and award the job.
Review price, timeline, notes, and the pro’s verified credentials after the reveal. Ask the follow-up questions you need, then award the job to the pro who fits the work best.
Full comparison · clear questions · your final call
Two sides, one shared process
What the journey looks like in practice.
Customers get a structured way to choose. Pros get a private, consistent way to put forward the work they want to win.
You stay in control of the brief, the deadline, the questions, and the final choice.
- 01
Create a useful brief.
Describe what needs doing, add the details pros need, and set a bidding window that works for you.
- 02
Let Bidmark find the fit.
Your brief goes to matched pros in the right trade and service area instead of an open blast to everyone.
- 03
Wait for the reveal.
While the window is open, bids stay sealed. You are not pushed to pick the first response or manage a live price race.
- 04
Compare and ask.
Once the deadline passes, review bids together and use the available project context to ask the questions that matter.
- 05
Award the job.
Choose the pro and proposal that fit your project. The decision is yours; Bidmark gives you a clearer set of options to decide from.
You see the same scope as every other matched pro, but you do not have to undercut a live number to stay in the running.
- 01
Get matched by trade and area.
Bidmark surfaces projects that line up with your trade and service area, so you can spend time on relevant scopes.
- 02
Write a complete sealed bid.
Your bid can include your price, timeline, notes, and the context a customer needs to understand your approach.
- 03
Stay private during the window.
Your price is sealed from the other bidders. There is no live underbidding and no pressure to keep refreshing a leaderboard.
- 04
Clear verification before access.
License and insurance credentials are checked before you can access bidding. Verification helps confirm the basics; it is not a workmanship guarantee.
- 05
If you are awarded, connect on the job.
After the customer awards the work, you move into the normal project conversation to confirm scope, timing, and next steps.
Know what “verified” means.
Bidmark checks a pro’s license and insurance credentials before that pro gets bidding access. It is a gate for the basics that matter to the marketplace, not a promise about workmanship or the outcome of a project.
License
We check that the pro’s license is active and authorized for the listed trade and service area before bidding access is granted.
Insurance
We check that current insurance coverage is on file. If it expires, the pro’s verification needs to be updated before bidding continues.
