ABOUT QUOTEHIVE

Canada's pay-per-bid contractor marketplace

We connect people who need work done with verified contractors who want to do it — through open, deadline-driven bidding instead of lead-selling. Clients post free. Contractors pay only to bid. Nobody pays a commission.

Why we built it

Finding a contractor in Canada has long meant choosing between two bad options. Consumer lead-generation sites are easy to use but sell your project as a "lead" to whoever pays, hide pricing, and give you no structure — no deadline, no comparison, no accountability. Formal tender portals have that rigour, but they're built for procurement officers, not for someone redoing a bathroom.

QuoteHive sits deliberately in the middle. A client can post a renovation in about a minute and get serious, comparable quotes from insurance-verified pros by a fixed deadline. A municipality can run a six-figure contract on a formal tender schedule with mandatory walkthroughs and NDAs. Same engine, same contractor pool, same transparent results.

Trust is the whole product, so we made it structural rather than promised: every bidder passes document verification before they can bid, every bid costs the bidder something, and once bidding closes the participants see the full bid table — who bid, how much, and where each ranked. We're an introduction platform, not a party to the work contract, and we're built for Canada from day one: bilingual English/French, priced in CAD, covering all 13 provinces and territories, with privacy handling written around PIPEDA. Canadian-owned and independent.

What makes QuoteHive different

Verification first

Contractors upload ID, insurance, WSIB and licence documents, and a human reviews every one before a single bid can be placed.

Transparent sealed bidding

Bids run sealed to a deadline; after close, participants see the full table and exactly where they ranked. No hidden outcomes.

No commissions, ever

We take nothing from the value of the work. Contractors pay only credit costs to bid — a slow month costs them nothing.

Built for Canada

Bilingual EN/FR, CAD pricing, all 13 provinces and territories, PIPEDA-aligned privacy, and Canadian tender conventions. Canadian-owned.
