For homeowners
Everything your project needs, in one place.
No more chasing referrals or guessing who to trust. BuildSafe brings the whole job — discovery to done — into a single app.
Compare bids side by side
Receive structured quotes you can actually compare — scope, timeline, and price, laid out clearly instead of buried in texts.
Chat in-app
Message contractors directly with photos, documents, and voice notes. Your whole conversation stays with the project.
Track every project
Milestones, schedules, and progress updates in one dashboard. Always know exactly where your job stands.
Agree payment plans in writing
Build a milestone payment schedule together — e.g. 10% booking, 40% mid-project, 50% on completion — and both agree in the app. Payments happen directly between you two; the plan is your written record. No awkward cash handoffs, no chasing receipts.
Reviews that matter
Project reviews from completed work plus quote-experience reviews — each clearly labeled, so ratings reflect real interactions, not favours. Our ratings can't be bought.
How it works
From idea to done, in three steps.
Post your project
Describe the job, add photos, set your budget and timeline. It takes two minutes — verified local pros get notified instantly.
Compare quotes
Review structured bids side by side. Check TrustGuard badges, ratings, and past work before you shortlist.
Hire & track
Award the job, chat in-app, release milestone payments, and follow progress to the final walkthrough.

Yes. Posting a project, receiving quotes, comparing bids, and chatting with contractors is completely free for homeowners. Contractors pay for subscriptions and leads — homeowners never do.
Every contractor passes TrustGuard verification before they can bid: identity checks, credential review, and a track record of completed work. And only homeowners who actually finished a project can leave a review — so ratings reflect real workmanship. Read the TrustGuard Charter

TrustGuard Charter
What "verified" actually means.
A badge is only worth something if the checks behind it are public. Here's ours — the full list, in the open.
-
Identity checkGovernment-issued photo ID matched to the person behind the account — verified before they can bid on any job.
-
Licence checkTrade licences confirmed against provincial and municipal requirements, wherever the trade requires one.
The TrustGuard badge is not proof of insurance — homeowners should independently check a contractor's insurance.
Caught faking it? You're out — publicly.
Confirmed fraud, fake reviews, or faked credentials earn a public violation note on the profile and removal from the marketplace. Every report is investigated by a human within 48 hours.
Ranking is merit-based. Never for sale.
Search order is set by TrustGuard status, homeowner ratings, and distance — no paid placement, ever. Nobody can buy their way to the top of your results.
