Getting contractor quotes is chaos because every bid prices a different version of your project. BidReferee fixes that: one standardized packet, up to 5 invited local contractors, sealed ballpark estimates, and one honest side by side comparison.
Start a Sprint See the game planBidReferee is a service of Moser Capital Group LLC. We are not a contractor, and we never do the work. We make the bids comparable, and we keep the contest clean.
From first call to signed contract in about two weeks, with the comparison work done for you.
We turn your project into one standardized packet: scope of work, photos, measurements, timeline, and budget range. Every contractor prices the same thing.
Up to 5 invited local contractors submit a preliminary ballpark within 2 business days. Contractors never see each other's numbers.
You get one sheet with every ballpark side by side: what is included, what is not, timelines, and license and insurance status.
Shortlist up to 3 contractors. We coordinate the visits, and each one gives you a firm written quote.
You choose and sign directly with the contractor. Your deposit is paid by ACH through the platform so the result is on the record. The rest is between you and your contractor.
Most marketplaces quietly sell your project to the highest bidder. Our rules are the opposite, and they are not negotiable. Think of this as the call sheet: it applies to everyone, every time.
You pay for the work of building the packet and running a fair round. The contractor side is free unless they win, which keeps good contractors in the pool. Projects start at a $5,000 expected contract value.
The full fair round, run for you end to end.
For bigger decisions where you want a recommendation, not just data.
For projects that span two trades or need priority handling.
Full refund, no questions, if you cancel before your packet is sent or we decline the project. Sprint fees are never a percentage of your project, so our only incentive is a fair round and a good match.
Joining costs nothing. Being invited costs nothing. Submitting a ballpark costs nothing. You pay one success fee only when you sign the job: 3 percent of the initial contract, minimum $150, capped at $750. Founding contractors pay half on their first won job. The fee is the same for everyone, disclosed to the homeowner, and there is no way to buy a better position. If that sounds like the league you want to work in, tell us below and we will send the network agreement.
Ask for an invitationNo. A ballpark is a preliminary estimate based on the packet, labeled as an estimate everywhere. Firm, written quotes come after a site visit with your shortlisted contractors.
Nothing to join, bid, or be ranked. The winner pays a success fee of 3 percent of the initial signed contract, minimum $150, capped at $750. You see that fee on your comparison sheet.
On a Platform Sprint, you choose: we run another round, or we refund the $99 in full.
Directly with the contractor you choose. BidReferee is not a party to your construction contract, does not perform or supervise the work, and does not guarantee any contractor's workmanship.
Your deposit on the signed contract is paid by ACH through the platform so the signing is on the record, then released to your contractor. Every later payment goes directly between you and the contractor.
Projects with an expected contract value of $5,000 and up: roofing, concrete, remodeling, decks, and similar home projects in the Knoxville area at launch.
Tell us about the project. We reply by email with next steps and a short intake call to build your packet. No charge until you pick a tier and tell us to run it.
