FAQs

Common questions.

What does Light RFP cost? +
Posting an RFP is free for developers, and browsing and bidding is free for contractors. Posted projects use either bonding or credit-card payments to protect the work; in some cases posters pay a small SaaS fee to pay vendors by ACH.
Can it handle a full ground-up bid? +
Yes. Bid the whole project or break it into trade packages — AI drafts the scope, qualified GCs and subs bid, and everything levels in one view so you can award with confidence.
Where do the contractors come from? +
Light RFP’s marketplace of vetted, bond-ready GCs and subs, matched to your trade and region. You can also invite your own bench — they bid in the same place, leveled the same way.
How do bonds and payments work? +
Free bid bonds and flat-3% performance & payment bonds bind alongside the RFP, and you can pay contractors by card or ACH — all on the same project record.
“We used to spend the first month of every project chasing bids. Now the scope goes out the day we have it, and we’re comparing real numbers by the end of the week.”
