How many contractors receive a service request on BuildZoom?

When a user posts a service request to BuildZoom, our goal is to get them 3 competing bids for the project. Our research (and most industry recommendations) seem to agree with this estimate.

The process to get to 3 competing bids can be a little complex.  We use an algorithm that considers the following variables: 


	How many contractors are notified about the service request. 

	The frequency with which contractors follow-up with service requests when notified. 


Take for example an area like Los Angeles.  We have a large group of very active contractors in this area who follow-up with service requests at a relatively high rate.  Therefore, our algorithm will narrow down the number of contractors who are notified about a service request so we don't flood the poster with contractor phone calls.  On the opposite end of the spectrum, another area may have a low frequency of contractor follow-ups so our algorithm will increase the number of contractors who are notified. 

As our community grows more active, our algorithm gets more accurate at ensuring that users get about 3 competing bids per project and we're always looking at new ways to tweak it so we can ensure a great experience on both ends of the transaction.

I have just claimed my Account on Build Zoom and so far have noit received any Service Request this month yet, but so far a lot of my past Customers have said that found the site to be easier to navigate then some of the other bigger site’s. If my Customers are happy with the Site so am I. I think to help any Service site such as this, we as Vendors/members need to push this site on our Websites, Facebook and any other Social Media. If we all do our part, then we all win…

Since the weather has warmed up, customers are reaching out to get ideas, estimates to have a handle on there projects. Servise requests change from area to area and effected with the weather conditions, east vs. west cost.
