Construction on Bidly — frequently asked questions
How does Bidly differ from getting three quotes manually?
You post once. Multiple verified contractors then bid against each other in a transparent auction-style process, which typically beats traditional quote-shopping by 10–25% on construction projects.
Is my budget kept confidential?
Yes — your customer budget is never shown to bidders. Bidly admins set a publicly listed rate, and contractors bid below that.
Are Bidly contractors NHBRC registered?
Many are. When you post a new build, ask in the description for proof of NHBRC registration and bidders will provide it before you award the contract.
Can I post a multi-phase construction project?
Yes. Either post each phase as its own job, or describe the full scope and use a fixed-price rate type — both work well on Bidly.
Do contractors travel cross-border?
Yes. Most contractors on Bidly serve their home metro plus surrounding areas, and national / regional contractors bid on jobs anywhere in South Africa, Lesotho, Botswana and Namibia.
