TRUST BEFORE TRANSACTION

Protection designed into the marketplace.

BuildersBids is structured to reduce unnecessary exposure of project files, limit access by role and purchase status, and create a clearer record of marketplace activity.

Marketplace safeguards

Controls that protect access and accountability.

BuildersBids uses layered marketplace controls rather than relying on a single security feature.

Human-reviewed companies

Marketplace access begins after the required company review process.

Role-based permissions

General contractor, subcontractor, sales, and administrator functions are separated.

Protected trade plans

Trade files remain connected to the appropriate project, trade, and access rights.

Secure payments

Eligible checkout activity is processed through Stripe rather than by public email or unsecured forms.

Responsible use

Safer habits for every BuildersBids account.

Platform controls work best when users also follow secure business practices.

Protect credentials

Use a unique password and never share account access with unauthorized people.

Use secure portals

Upload plans, W-9 records, identification, and compliance documents only through the correct protected workflow.

Verify before acting

Review project details, company information, pricing, and award terms before making a commitment.

Report concerns

Contact BuildersBids promptly about suspicious activity, access problems, or marketplace abuse.

No public form should contain sensitive records.

Passwords, Social Security numbers, tax identification numbers, banking information, government identification, confidential plans, and compliance documents should never be sent through ordinary public email or the public contact form.
