Post your work. Independent techs bid for it.
One account for builders and property managers. Put a job out — a new-construction package or service across your buildings — and insurance-verified independent techs bid sealed. You pick the bid, you pay the tech direct. No middleman markup, no lead fees, no commission.
$0 platform fee. Free to post.
New construction
Builders & general contractors
Put your mechanical package out to independent techs instead of carrying a sub's markup. Upload the plans, set a longer bid window for spec work, and get sealed numbers on the whole job — with Dale's build rules right there on the upload step.
- Upload plans (PDF or sheets) — techs price the package
- Longer bid window built in for spec work
- Dale's build & design rules on the post step
Existing buildings
Property & building managers
Stop chasing contractors for every unit. Post a repair, a replacement, or a recurring-service contract and let insurance-verified techs bid for it. One portfolio view, sealed bids, ratings that keep the market honest.
- Repair, replace, or recurring service across units
- Capture equipment once — techs bid tighter
- Decision queue: see what needs your award now
Same mechanic, both sides
Builder or property manager, the work runs through the same sealed-bid engine. The only thing that changes is what you post.
Post the work
Building new? Upload the plans and post a new-construction package. Running buildings? Post a repair, replacement, or recurring-service RFP across your units. Same two minutes either way.
Independent techs bid sealed
Insurance-verified techs in your area get notified and submit sealed bids — they can't see each other's numbers, so they compete on the real price, not on undercutting a leaked one.
You pick. You pay the tech direct.
Compare side by side — price, ratings, warranty, start date — and award. iHVAC never touches the money. No lead fees, no commission, no markup in the middle.
Why the bids are honest
Sealed means sealed
Bids are private, enforced in the data layer — not a promise on a page. No tech sees another's number.
Insurance-verified techs
Techs can't accept or claim work without current general-liability on file. The gate is in the code.
Nobody buys the top slot
No contractor pays iHVAC for placement or leads, so the bids you see compete on merit — not on who paid.

When you post a build, Dale's design rules ride right on the upload step — load calc first, right-size it, keep the ducts in conditioned space, two systems vs zoning. Blunt, no sales pitch, the stuff that turns into callbacks when it gets skipped.
