Post a job

Post a public work request on ContractorsNearMe.ai so local contractors can see it, then manage it from your account.

View as Markdown

Posting a job puts your project on the public requests page of ContractorsNearMe.ai, where contractors browse for work. The form is at contractorsnearme.ai/create-job. You need to be signed in to a ContractorsNearMe customer account to post.

What you can do

  • Fill in a four-step form: contact and address, job details, images, confirm.
  • Pick up to 5 categories and describe the work.
  • Find your posted request under Projects in your account and change its status.
  • Create more requests from Projects with New Request.

Post your request

  1. Open contractorsnearme.ai/create-job (“Get quotes from nearby pros”). From the site menu, click Post a job.
  2. Step 1, Contact & address. Enter Full name, Email, Phone (10 digits), and Job address. Pick the address from the suggestions; typed text alone won’t work. Click Next.
  3. Step 2, Job details. Click up to 5 category chips. Write a Description of at least 30 characters. Add Requirements if you have any (for example “Licensed, insured, timeline”). Click Next.
  4. Step 3, Images. Add photos of the work area. Photos help contractors understand the job. Click Next.
  5. Step 4, Confirm. Check the Quick summary, complete the security check, and click Post my request.

If you weren’t signed in, the form saves your draft on this device and sends you to sign in. After you sign in, open contractorsnearme.ai/create-job again; your answers are still filled in.

When the post succeeds, you land on Projects (/owner/projects) in your account.

What contractors see

Your request appears on the public requests page at contractorsnearme.ai/itbs. Its title is the start of your description. It shows your city and state, plus your description and requirements. Your name, email, phone, and street address are not shown on the public page.

Manage your request

  1. Go to Projects in your account (/owner/projects, page title “Requests”).
  2. Each request shows its status and how many contractors showed interest.
  3. Open a request to change its status: Open, In progress, Completed, or Cancelled.

To post another one, click New Request on the same page. That form also has Trade, Urgency, a minimum and maximum budget, and a choice of showing the budget as Public or Private.

Good to know

  • Contractors can’t reply to a posted request from inside BuildX yet. To hear from contractors sooner, also send a quote request. See Getting quotes.
  • Posting needs a customer account on ContractorsNearMe.ai. Contractor accounts can’t post requests.
  • Requests are public. Don’t put private details (gate codes, alarm info) in the description.
