Use the brief before asking for prices to expose missing scope, approvals, access constraints, budget assumptions and decisions that would otherwise become contractor qualifications or later variations.
Use it to reduce commercial ambiguity.
Use the same structure as a tender-readiness filter. It helps you identify what is still unanswered before committing estimating time and makes your clarification requests more precise.
Use it to support structured advice and procurement.

You stay in control of what becomes public and when you connect.
BuildConnect separates useful marketplace information from private account details. The controls differ by role, so clients, contractors and professionals can participate without having to make everything public.
Clients
Client contact details remain private until the client chooses to connect with a contractor. Start with the project information rather than publishing personal contact details.
