Why Buildpost? Buildpost™ offers free and low-cost online classified ads for the building products and construction industry. Think of Buildpost as a trading post rather than a complicated marketplace. All posts are created by real industry professionals, homeowners and property owners seeking to do business. All transactions are conducted directly between posters and responders – offline and with
no middleman involved. The Buildpost Difference
1. Almost entirely free
Since Buildpost is committed to reducing your expenses while getting the industry back to work, most Buildpost services are free. For one, the site is completely free to navigate. That means no cost and no upfront registration required. It’s also free to post and search resumes, as well as to post and respond to bids. In most cases, it’s free to advertise and inquire about products and services. To cover the cost of site maintenance, Buildpost charges for job posts ($25 per month), businesses for sale ($25 per month), and advertisements for financial and legal services. Nonetheless, Buildpost fees are 90% to 100% cheaper than generalist sites such as Monster.com®, CareerBuilder.com®, LinkedIn®, BizBuySell®, Dodge Lead Center, and Kelley Blue Book®.
2. Simple
The Buildpost experience is so intuitive that even the most technically averse user can start working with it immediately. The site is designed to be simple, straightforward, and mobile-friendly. Buildpost also doesn’t display annoying ads or pop-ups anywhere on the site.
3. Useful
Buildpost focuses on four major, daily concerns of industry professionals: employment, products, services and bids. That’s it. Easy to navigate and all in one place.
4. Relevant
One problem with craigslist® and other generalist sites is the flood of irrelevant posts that users must sift through to uncover pertinent information. Buildpost makes it easy to find industry- and location-specific posts, minimizing the time users spend finding the resources they need.
5. We solve problems
The industry needs a central place to do business. There's a lot of inefficiencies in the way we do business. And we all face similar problems. Buildpost was created with these problems in mind, and seeks to help people solve everyday problems by:
-Providing a secondary market for products which are misordered, returned, damaged, etc. Creating a place to source new customers and suppliers.
-An opportunity for service providers who focus on our industry to find you, and vice versa.
-Offering a cost-effective tool to help us deal with the current labor shortage. About Buildpost
