Is the provider's work already paid?
No. Customers request help from City Works for free. You set your own job price and collect payment directly from the customer under your terms.
Do I send City Works a quote?
No. Show interest in the request. If City Works connects you, set the final price and terms directly with the customer.
Reply by email or SMS.
Can I decline an opportunity?
Yes. Respond only to work you want, can schedule, and are qualified to perform.
Does the fastest provider always win?
No. City Works connects the customer with a suitable, qualified and available provider for the request.
Can the customer request someone else?
The customer can ask for a different provider if needed.
Does City Works manage my job?
No. Once introduced, you control the price, scope, timing, terms, work, and profit.
Which connections are free?
Your first 2 completed City Works connections have no City Works fee. New connections below $300 in final customer-authorized pre-tax work value stay free after that. At $300 and above, the applicable fee schedule applies. Existing accepted terms stay unchanged.
When does City Works bill me?
We bill monthly for the previous month's chargeable completed jobs. With a card on file, you receive a statement on the 7th and your authorized card is charged on the 15th. Without a card, you receive an invoice on the 7th with a secure payment link.
What if the customer does not pay me?
The City Works fee still applies if you completed the job. It is not conditional on receiving payment from the customer.
Does City Works charge a percentage?
No. One flat fee is based on the final customer-approved pre-tax project value.
Does the amount owed change my billing date?
No. Every balance follows the same monthly schedule.
What if the customer never responds?
If the customer does not respond and no work was authorized, there is no completed-work fee. If the customer authorized an inspection or partial work, the fee is based only on the final authorized pre-tax value.
