How Bidding Works

When a building on Kindo needs a service you offer, you may receive an invitation to bid. Here's how the process works from your side.

Finding opportunities

Opportunities appear in your dashboard. Each one shows the building address, the service needed, and the number of interested residents. Once you've bid at a building, you're invited to its future projects too.

Submitting a bid

When you're ready to bid, you set three numbers:

• Solo price, per apartment — what one apartment pays if no neighbors join.
• Group price, per apartment — what each apartment pays once your day is full. It's not your day rate, and it can't be higher than your solo price.
• Day capacity — how many apartments you can service in one visit.

Some opportunities include multiple job types — for example, a plumbing opportunity that covers both drain unclogging and leak repairs. For these, you'll set your pricing for each job type separately. This lets you price each type of work based on its actual scope.

How day capacity sets the price

Your day capacity decides how the apartments on a booking are packed into visits. Every full day is billed at your group price. Apartments left over on a day that isn't full are billed at your solo price if you set one, because a part-full day costs you the same trip, setup and parking. The job's total is then shared equally, so every apartment on the booking pays the same rate.

Set capacity to what your crew can really finish in a day. If the work genuinely takes a full day per apartment — a gut renovation or a floor refinish — turn on "This work takes a full day per apartment" to set one apartment a day.

What buildings see

Members of the building's club review the submitted bids and pick the best fit. Buildings can see your pricing, your ratings and reviews, and whether your insurance is in order. A strong track record and proper documentation work in your favor.

Winning a bid

If your bid is selected, you'll be notified and the booking process begins. You'll need to submit your insurance documents for that specific building (see Insurance & Compliance Requirements). Once building management confirms your insurance paperwork and residents have signed up, you'll confirm the booking and the service is scheduled.

Tips for strong bids

• Competitive pricing matters, but it's not the only factor. Buildings value quality and reliability just as much as price.
• Respond to bid invitations promptly — buildings may have deadlines.
• Keep your profile complete and your insurance current. Delays in compliance slow everything down.
• Your track record on Kindo builds over time. Every completed job and positive review strengthens your position for future opportunities.
