Your ContractorsNearMe account
The pages in a ContractorsNearMe.ai customer account (requests, saved contractors, messages, payment methods, settings) and how to write a review.
A customer account on ContractorsNearMe.ai lives at contractorsnearme.ai/owner. It holds the jobs you post, the contractors you save, and your contact details. You only need it to post a job or to save and follow contractors; searching and requesting quotes work without one.
What you can do
- See your open requests and active conversations on Overview.
- Post and manage public requests on Projects.
- Keep a list of contractors on Saved, with shortlist notes.
- Read conversations on Messages and My Leads.
- Store a card or bank account on Payment Methods.
- Change your name and phone on Settings.
- Write a review of a contractor (no account needed).
Sign in
Go to contractorsnearme.ai/sign-in. You can sign in with email and password, a magic link sent to your email, Google, or your BuildX (MyBuildX) account. Customer accounts open at /owner. Contractor accounts are sent to mybuildx.com instead, because ContractorsNearMe has no contractor dashboard.
The pages
The sidebar lists these pages:
| Page | Path | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| Overview | /owner | Counts of active conversations and open requests, with shortcuts to New request, View messages, and Find contractors. |
| My Leads | /owner/leads | Everyone you’ve been in a conversation with, with the latest reply. |
| Contractors | /owner/connections | Your network of contractors (“My Contractors”). |
| Saved | /owner/saved | Contractors you saved, followed, or shortlisted. |
| Reviews | /owner/reviews | Your review history. |
| Messages | /owner/messages | Your conversations with contractors. Open one to read and reply. |
| Projects | /owner/projects | Your public requests (page title “Requests”). |
| Payment Methods | /owner/payment-methods | Saved cards and bank accounts. |
| Settings | /owner/settings | Your account details. |
BuildX Dashboard at the bottom of the sidebar opens MyBuildX, signed in.
Manage requests
On Projects, click New Request to create a public request, or open an existing one to set its status to Open, In progress, Completed, or Cancelled. Each request shows how many contractors are interested. To post with photos, use the Post a job form instead.
Keep a shortlist
- Click Save or Follow on any contractor’s profile or search result.
- Open Saved. Contractors are grouped as Saved, Following, and Shortlisted.
- Add a contractor to your shortlist and write a note on why (“Why this contractor belongs on the shortlist”).
Update your details
On Settings, change Display Name and Phone Number, then click Save Changes. Contractors see these details when they reply to you. Your email can’t be changed here.
Payment methods
Payment Methods stores a credit card or bank account through Stripe. Click Add payment method to add one, or Remove one you no longer use. Your card details go to Stripe, not to BuildX’s servers.
Write a review
- Open the contractor’s profile and click Write Review. You can also go to contractorsnearme.ai/write-a-review and paste the profile slug into Contractor ID.
- Rate five things from 1 to 5: Timeliness, Value, Cleanliness, Quality, and Communication. The overall rating is their average.
- Enter Your name (shown with the review) and Your email (not shown; used to stop duplicates).
- Write the Review. Specifics help the next customer.
- Complete the security check and click Submit review.
Reviews go to moderation before they appear on the profile. You can review the same contractor once every 30 days from the same email.
Good to know
- Reviews from the public form aren’t linked to your account, so they don’t appear on your Reviews page.
- Quote requests you send from a profile form aren’t saved to your account. Keep your own note of who you contacted.
