The Marketplace

Posting and bidding are always free. We only earn on new introductions.

Listing, posting, and unlimited bidding are included in every plan. A one-time success fee applies only the first time the marketplace introduces you to a new GC — capped for your first 6 months, and every repeat job with that GC is always free.

5%Success Fee

Subcontractors & Trades

$2,500 cap · first 6 months

Win work with a brand-new GC through the marketplace and pay a one-time 5% success fee on the awarded subcontract. For your first 6 months on BuildIG.ai it's protected by a $2,500 cap, no matter how big the job. It's charged only on your first award with that GC — repeat work, change orders, and unsuccessful bids are always free.

2.5%Success Fee

Vendors & Suppliers

$1,500 cap · first 6 months

Get matched to a live bill of materials from a new GC and pay a one-time 2.5% success fee on the awarded order. For your first 6 months it's protected by a $1,500 cap. It's charged only on your first order with that GC — repeat orders and unsuccessful quotes are always free.

The 6-Month Rule

Caps protect you while you get started.

For your first 6 months the cap ($2,500 for trades, $1,500 for suppliers) shields you from large fees while you test the platform. After 6 months the cap lifts and platform-introduced awards move to the full, uncapped rate — by then you're winning consistent volume through the network.

Relationship Ledger

Existing relationships are always exempt.

Before every bid, the GC marks whether you're an existing relationship or a BuildIG.ai match. Relationships you already had off-platform incur zero fees indefinitely — success fees apply only to brand-new introductions the marketplace creates for you.

One-time · First new-GC award only · Capped first 6 months · No fee to GCs
