Guide to Drafting Marketplace: Find a Project

Drafters and engineers - are you ready to get to work? At Drafting Marketplace, our team is excited to provide a place for drafters and engineers to get work done with glazing contractors. But how can you get work done if you don’t know how to find a project? That’s a good question, and we’re about to walk you through it.

When you’re all set up with your Drafting Marketplace account and ready to start making some money, simply login to your account. Once you’re logged in, you’ll see your main dashboard.

Finding a Project

Finding a project through our platform is easy and can be done in two ways.

1. Clicking the Find a Project button on the navigation menu on the left side of the  screen. 

2. Hovering over the Find A… dropdown menu at the top of the screen, there’s the option to find a Project.

Either of these methods will take users to the same Available Projects list. 

The Available Projects list shows projects from glazing contractors that are open to bid submissions. To view a project, simply click on the Bid Now button on the bottom right corner of a project. When a user clicks the Bid Now button, they’ll be brought to the project description page where they’ll see more information about the project - such as the quote, special instructions, and files. 

On the right hand side of the project description page, users have the ability to bid on a project. Simply fill out this form with your bid estimate and projected date of completion. Then, either click the Place a Bid button to submit your bid, or you can message the glazing contractor by clicking the Send Message button to ask a question about the project.

And that’s it! That’s how you find and bid on a project on Drafting Marketplace. It’s easy, it’s efficient, and it’s a great way to find reliable projects.
