Zero. Bidit is free forever for consumers.

How do you verify providers are licensed?

What happens after I post?

Businesses in your region are notified and we invite local businesses to send a private offer. Your request stays open for 7 days (2 if urgent).

Does Bidit take a commission?

What kind of work?

The trade determines which licensed contractors get to bid. Be specific.

Trade needed*

The trade determines which licensed contractors are eligible to bid (e.g., RBQ-licensed in Québec). For multi-trade jobs, pick "General contractor" — they coordinate the rest.

This field is required

What are you doing?*

This affects permit requirements and timelines — new builds and additions usually need municipal permits; emergency repairs skip the planning phase entirely.

Repair Renovation New build Addition / extension Installation Maintenance Emergency repair

Indoor or outdoor?

Indoor Outdoor Both

This field is required

Property & scope

Property*

Property type affects code compliance (e.g., condos require board approval; commercial spaces follow stricter fire/accessibility codes; heritage properties may have preservation rules).

This field is required

Area affected

This field is required

Approximate size (sq ft)

If unsure, skip — contractors will measure on site. Ballpark is fine.

This field is required

When was the building built?

Older buildings can hide wiring, plumbing or asbestos surprises that contractors price in.

This field is required

Existing ductwork

Ducted and ductless heat pumps are different jobs at very different prices.

This field is required

Electrical panel size

Printed on the main breaker. A panel upgrade can change the price a lot.

This field is required

Describe the work*

Specifics drive accurate bids — list materials, dimensions, existing conditions, and known issues. Vague descriptions trigger over-quotes (vendors pad to cover unknowns).

This field is required

Photos & video

Add photos of the area — contractors bid far more accurately with a visual. Optional but strongly recommended.

Photos of the work area

Wide shots help contractors see context. Close-ups help them see details. Use your phone camera.

📷 Add photos of the work area, the existing equipment and its label, and any damage.

Materials

Helps vendors bid accurately — supplies vs labor is a big split.

How will materials be handled?*

If Bidit has a wholesale partnership with the right distributor, vendors who win your job can source materials at contractor pricing through a Manera Procurement channel — savings pass to you via a more competitive bid. This option is rolling out per region.

Vendor provides everything (material + install) I have the materials — installation only Mixed — I have some, vendor supplies the rest Not sure yet — I'll discuss with the vendor

This field is required

Budget & timeline

Budget range (CAD)*

Ballpark is fine. 'Guide me' is honest — contractors can quote a range.

Under $2,000 $2,000 – $5,000 $5,000 – $10,000 $10,000 – $25,000 $25,000 – $50,000 $50,000 – $100,000 Over $100,000 Not sure — guide me

This field is required

When should work start?*

Tighter timelines limit the contractor pool and raise rates 10-30%; flexible "planning phase" timelines unlock better-priced contractors with future capacity.

Before you post — please confirm:

I understand this service is FREE for me as a consumer. Vendors pay a disclosed platform access fee on matched transactions — this is never passed through to me as a hidden charge. I understand that local businesses in my region (offers from businesses whose licence Bidit has verified are marked) will submit sealed blind bids. I see all bids; vendors see only their own. I am free to choose any bid or none — no contract forms until I select one. My contact information is shared only with the vendor I choose, not with the others.
