3. We match companies for your job

When we receive a new job post, we consider many things to determine who should receive your job post like; which companies and professionals have the skills you need, can they do the job according to your budget?, can they communicate with you in the language you prefer? Once we've put together a suitable pool of businesses, we send out your job to them.

4. Receiving a quote or a job cost

Companies and professionals will use the details of your job or project request to determine if they'd like to chase it. They will provide you with either an estimate or job cost through HomesBIS. We'll let you know once you have price quotes from them.

Now it's time to discuss the details of your job and begin gathering quotes or job costs. Don't be afraid to ask companies questions – it's your job and your money. You should feel confident that they understand what needs to be done and how this is accounted for in any job quote.

You can review, query, accept or decline the estimate or cost. You can also, begin reviewing their profiles and deciding who you'd like to hire.

5. Awarding the job to the company

When you've found a company or professional you like and you're happy for them to complete your job, it's important to tell other companies or professionals that you're not interested in their offer and you hired one.


Remember: You are not obligated to accept any company offer if you are not satisfied. There are no cancellation fees, no commission.


6. How do you pay for the company?

We at HomesBIS doesn't take payment from homeowners, you pay your company directly for the job. It's not uncommon to pay a deposit on jobs - Especially if the job needs to purchase some materials - but avoid paying large amounts upfront. Our service is free for homeowners to use and a company, professional or service provider should never pass any fees on behalf of HomesBIS to you – if you do encounter this, please let us know.
