How the Trade Network Works
The Trade Network is the coordination layer that connects qualified trades to active construction projects. Every participant is verified, scored, and operating through a shared environment — no cold calls, no guesswork.
Verified Profiles
WSIB clearance, insurance certificates, and trade licensing are verified before network access is granted. Clients and GCs see only confirmed, compliant partners.
Trust Scoring
Every trade partner earns a contractor trust score from 0 to 100, calculated from real project data — schedule adherence, quality of work, safety record, and communication responsiveness.
Project Invitations
Receive invitations to bid on active TradeForge projects based on your trade category, service area, capacity, and trust score. No chasing leads — work comes to you.
Shared Workspaces
Collaborate in project-specific environments alongside general contractors, clients, and other trades. Shared documents, schedules, RFIs, and change orders — all in one workspace.
Material Coordination
Access Supply Co. procurement channels and Jobsite Cart for coordinated material ordering, delivery scheduling, and landed cost tracking on active projects.
Portable Reputation
Your trust score, project history, and verified credentials follow you across every TradeForge project. Build reputation once — leverage it everywhere.
