# Bidly — South Africa's Construction Marketplace

> Bidly is South Africa's construction marketplace. Customers post construction, plumbing, electrical, renovation and trade projects. Vetted contractors and suppliers across South Africa, Lesotho, Botswana and Namibia bid competitively. Customers compare bids and award contracts directly.

Bidly is headquartered in Pretoria, Gauteng, and renders services across the whole of South Africa, with active cross-border coverage into Lesotho, Botswana and Namibia. Posting projects is free. There is no commission, no markup. Customer budgets are kept confidential; only the listed rate set by Bidly admins is shown publicly, and contractors bid at or below that listed rate.

## How Bidly works

1. A customer posts a construction project (plumbing, electrical, roofing, full build, etc.) with a confidential budget.
2. Bidly admins review and approve the project, setting a publicly listed rate.
3. Vetted contractors browse open projects and submit competitive bids at or below the listed rate.
4. The customer compares bids in their dashboard and awards the project.
5. Customer and contractor transact directly. Bidly's margin is the difference between the customer budget and the awarded bid.
