Hire a designer or a licensed contractor for your plan.

Matching depends on your location, the service and professional availability; a match is not guaranteed. Send a short brief from PlestIQ. Our team reviews it and replies by email with the professionals we can match you with and the next steps.

06 — Questions

Before you send.

What does it cost to send a request?

Nothing. Sending a request is free and counts towards your plan's monthly hire requests (Free 2, Pro 20). Nothing is booked or charged when you send. Any design or building work is priced by the professional and agreed directly with them.

Who are the professionals?

Contractors come from state license records, such as the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). A license is not an endorsement by PlestIQ, so check credentials, insurance and references before you hire. Designers are independent professionals our team matches to your brief.

What happens after I send a request?

The PlestIQ team reviews your brief and replies by email within your plan's reply time with the professional or professionals we can match you with and the next steps. You decide whether to go ahead.

Who sees my request?

The PlestIQ team, and only the professionals we match you with. You agree to that when you send, and we don't share it with anyone else.

Can I attach my plan?

Yes. Send the request from the planner (04 More, or Request a quote on a licensed trade) and it carries a summary of the plan: rooms, floors and floor area.

Can I cancel a request?

Yes. While a request is New or In review you can cancel it from your account page. Once we've matched you, reply to our email to change it.
