CONTACT US Openbuild is still in Beta. You may run across a bug in our system. We would greatly appreciate it if you would contact us and let us know about it.

Openbuild is free for customers to post projects. Service providers doing business as a sole proprietor can sign up for a craftsman account and apply for jobs under $500 for $50/month. Businesses can sign up for the professional account for $100/month.

Openbuild does not display customer contact information in the public domain of the site. Service providers connect with you via our internal mail system. Service providers can choose to display their contact information in our public directory. We do not sell any contact information to outside companies.

The answer this this question really depends on you and the goals for your project. If you know a lot about your project and want to work directly with the service provider doing the work then a craftsman service provider could be a good fit. If you don't much about the intricacies of your project then a professional would likely be the best choice. In any case make sure the objectives and timeline for your project are clearly written in your project post. After you have selected your service provider and meet in person, go over the project description again. Once you both agree the objectives are clear then a handshake is a great way to start a project.
