We are pleased to announce the Alpha Launch of http://www.3localbids.com site. Would love to have feedback from audience from the given cities.
About the Site :
--------------------
3LOCALBids is a delight for homeowners. Now they can just take pictures
of the work they need done in their homes and post it here for all their
local handymen and contractors to see. This saves time - no need to search
for right person, spend hours on phone trying to explain the problem,
meeting with contractors to show them the job, negotiating the price
and maybe repeating the process a few times.
It's the ideal tool for contractors and handymen too because they don't have
to travel miles for small jobs that they aren't interested in or aren't
awarded. It allows them to look at a job in their region and then bid on it
if its within 50 miles.
Homeowners get 3 bids and then they can choose 1 contractor during or
after the time when the bid close.
- This saves time for everyone ( in turn saves money )
- This is environment friendly ( saves gas for contractor to travel and
then not get it or he may not want to do the job)
- Gets homeowners different quotes to pick a price point.
During the alpha launch the following cities are available.
Vancouver
Calgary
Kelowna
Seattle
Portland
Bellingham
This project has been possible because through the vision of Mike Leslie and
Diane Askin ( NetClimber Web Design and
Publishing ) and with technical assistance from BPO Canada Global Services Corporation (
- A Drupal Services Firm based out of Vancouver, BC

Neat Idea
Looks like a neat idea - great value proposition for communities. Unfortunately, I live in Southern California;-) I'd think it might be smart to identify your communities right up front so that viewers quickly grasp where they are;-)
