Build The Foundations Of Great Structures
Buyers near you can book a site visit from your profile card. They tell you about the site and the work, and pick a day and a start time. You answer within 2 working hours and see the address once you accept. You set your own days, hours and visit charge, and the buyer pays you directly. Joining is free.
Sign in with your phone number, then choose “Add Services” and then “Construction Contractor”.
Add your location when you sign up. Buyers find your card by it, and without it no card is made.

How it works
Six steps, from sign-up to a finished site visit.
Sign up free
Sign in with your phone number and choose Add Services, then Construction Contractor. Add your name and your location, because buyers find you by it. Your profile card then goes live straight away.
A buyer asks for a site visit
A buyer near you tells you about the site and the work, and picks a day and a start time. The request comes to Visit Requests in your dashboard and on WhatsApp.
Answer within 2 working hours
Accept, suggest another time, or say you can’t go. Each request shows the time to answer by.
See the site address
Once you accept, the visit is booked. You see the buyer’s name, the address, landmark and map pin, and you can call each other through BookPropertyVisit.
On my way, then the code
On the visit day, tap On my way so the buyer knows you are coming. At the site, the buyer gives you a 4-digit visit code. Type it in to start the visit.
Complete with your quote
When the visit is over, tap Complete and add a note and your quote for the work. The buyer pays you directly and can rate the visit.
Answering a request
Every request has three answers.
Accept
The visit is booked. You see the buyer’s name and the site address, and the buyer gets a visit code to give you at the site.
Another time
Suggest another day and start time in the next two weeks. The visit is booked if the buyer accepts it.
Can’t go
Pick a reason: busy at that time, too far, not my kind of work, or other. The buyer can send the request to another contractor near them.
- Two working hours. They are counted between 9 AM and 7 PM, so a request that comes at night can be answered the next morning. For a visit that starts sooner, the time is shorter.
- A reminder halfway. If you haven’t answered by then, we remind you.
- No answer in time. The request closes, and the buyer can send it to another contractor near them.
- Three unanswered requests pause new ones. Buyers can still see your card, but can’t book a visit. Open Visit Requests in your dashboard to start them again.
- The buyer asks for a new time. Accept the new time or keep the old one.
- On WhatsApp too. Tap Accept or Can’t go in the WhatsApp message. To suggest another time, use your dashboard.
Before and after you accept
You see enough to decide. The buyer’s name and address open only for a booked visit.
Before you accept
- The site and the work, and the size, budget and start if the buyer gave them
- The day and the start time
- The area, and how far it is from you
- The buyer’s note (phone numbers in it are hidden)
- The buyer’s photos
After you accept
- The buyer’s name
- The address and the landmark
- The map pin, to open in Maps
- Calls with the buyer through BookPropertyVisit
Never shown to you: the buyer’s phone number. Once a visit is booked, you call each other through BookPropertyVisit.
Can’t keep a booked visit? Cancel it in My Site Visits at least 1 hour before it starts. The buyer is told and can send the request to another contractor near them.
Your hours, your charge
You decide when you go out for site visits and what you charge.
Your days and hours
Pick the days you work and your start and end time in Hours & Charge. Until you set them, requests can come Monday to Saturday, 9 AM to 6 PM.
Start times on the hour
Buyers pick a start time on the hour inside your hours, at least 3 hours ahead. Each visit holds one hour, and a booked hour is not offered to other buyers.
Your visit charge
Set a visit charge, or choose no visit charge. Buyers see your charge on your card before they book.
Your quote, paid to you
After the visit, add your quote for the work when you tap Complete. The buyer pays you directly.
Joining is free, there is no agreement to sign, and we take no commission on what you earn. We can’t promise a number of requests or jobs. That depends on the buyers near you.
Your profile card
This is how a signed-in buyer near you sees you, under NearBy Contractors on their dashboard.
Your name
Construction Contractor
- Your area, and how far it is from the buyer
- Your mobile number
- Your visit charge, if you set one
- The Verified badge, once our team has checked your selfie and ID
- Live when you sign up. With your location added, there is no agreement to sign and no wait for approval.
- Nearest first. Signed-in buyers who look for a contractor see the ones near them, in order of distance.
- Your number is on your card. Buyers near you can call you from it, or connect and chat with you.
- The Verified badge. Add a selfie and any one ID card from your dashboard, now or later. Once our team checks them, buyers see the Verified badge on your card. Only our team sees your ID.
Add your location. The sign-up form asks for it: buyers find your card by it, and without a location no card is made.
Questions contractors ask
Do I pay anything to join?
No. Joining is free, your profile card is free, and there is no agreement to sign. We take no commission on what you earn.
How do buyers find me?
Signed-in buyers who look for a construction contractor see the contractors near them, nearest first, under NearBy Contractors on their dashboard. They can book a site visit from your card.
Do I need to add my location?
Yes. Buyers find your card by your location, so the sign-up form asks for it. Without a location no profile card is made. If you joined before and have none, contact our team.
What do buyers ask for?
A site visit. They tell you about the site: Empty plot, Being built or Ready home. They can add the work (Full build, Labour only or Renovation), the size, a budget range, when they want to start, a note and up to 3 photos. The visit can be at their plot or site, or at their home.
How long do I have to answer?
Two working hours, counted between 9 AM and 7 PM. For a visit that starts sooner, the time is shorter. Each request shows the exact time to answer by.
What happens if I don’t answer?
The request closes and the buyer can send it to another contractor near them. If 3 requests go unanswered, new requests pause. Open Visit Requests in your dashboard to start them again.
When do I see the site address?
Only after you accept. Before that, you see what the buyer told you about the site and the work, the area, how far it is, the day and time, the buyer’s note and photos. After you accept, you see the buyer’s name, the address, landmark and map pin. The buyer’s phone number is never shown to you. Once the visit is booked, you can call each other through BookPropertyVisit.
What is the visit code?
A 4-digit code the buyer gets when you accept. At the site, ask the buyer for it and type it in to start the visit. After 5 wrong tries, you wait 30 minutes before you can try again.
Who pays me, and how much?
The buyer pays you directly. You set your visit charge, or no visit charge, and after the visit you add your quote for the work. The money doesn’t pass through us.
Why do you ask for a selfie and an ID?
Buyers let you onto their site or into their home. Your card goes live without them, and you can add them from your dashboard later. Once our team checks them, buyers see the Verified badge on your card. Only our team sees your ID.
Can I say no to a request?
Yes. Tap Can’t go and pick a reason, or suggest another time. Saying no doesn’t pause your requests. Only requests left unanswered do.
