| Change orders (any size) | 5% of change order value | Same schedule as above based on total job size |
You agree to self-report all jobs awarded through Bid-Concierge leads within 3 business days of contract execution. Referral fees are invoiced by Bid-Concierge via QuickBooks Payments and due per the tiered schedule above based on job size. Failure to report awarded jobs or remit fees may result in immediate removal from the network and may subject you to collection action.
For jobs over $20,000, the second installment (2.5%) is due within 5 business days of project completion and final payment received from the homeowner. You agree to notify Bid-Concierge upon project completion.
