Responsible use

Built for documented business decisions, not public shaming.

Contractors can document positive experiences, payment concerns, dispute context, and resolution history. Public records stay limited to approved summaries and neutral response paths.

Common questions

What should contractors read first?

Start with How It Works, Client Rating Methodology, Business & Trade Ratings, and Report Policy to understand search, ratings, moderation, and public reporting standards.

Can clients respond to a public profile?

Yes. Clients can submit a response, dispute, correction request, or resolution update for moderation before public display.

How are subcontractor profiles different from contractor profiles?

Contractor profiles focus on customer-facing business reliability. Subcontractor profiles focus on trade scope, GC/sub relationships, payment-chain context, evidence readiness, and claim or correction rights.

Are private emails, phone numbers, and evidence files public?

No. Public pages do not display private contact identifiers, street addresses, staff-only review notes, or raw evidence files.

Need the shortest path?

Start with a client search, then document the job if the record matters.

Client Bureau keeps the path simple: check, decide, document, respond, resolve, and protect the business record.
