For contractors
Soumission Rénovation or RenoCalc: what changes for a contractor
Both services connect homeowners with contractors. This comparison sticks to facts: for Soumission Rénovation, what the company itself publishes (source and date below the table); for RenoCalc, how it works today.
Soumission Rénovation and RenoCalc, point by point
| Question | Soumission Rénovation | RenoCalc |
|---|---|---|
| How many contractors get the same request? | Up to 4 contractors per project. [1] | At most 3 contractors per request. |
| What you know before you commit | The project is sent to contractors in the homeowner’s region who offer the service; each decides whether it interests them before paying for the contact details. [1] | The city, the type of project, the budget range our calculator gave the homeowner, when they plan to start, and a 1 to 5 star rating of how complete the request is. You accept or pass before you get their contact details. |
| What a lead costs | A fee to get the homeowner’s contact details, generally between $5 and $50. [1] | Nothing during the launch. RenoCalc will become a paid service: the price of each lead is shown before you accept it, and partners are told the plans before anything is billed. |
| Commission on the job | None, according to the company. [1] | None. |
| What is checked about contractors | Required licences checked for validity; reputation reviewed with SOQUIJ and the Office de la protection du consommateur; a score based on past clients’ ratings. [1] | We ask for your business number, your licence where your province requires one (RBQ in Québec), and proof of workers’ comp and liability insurance. |
What a RenoCalc lead contains
The homeowner first priced their project on our calculator, so they arrive with a price range for their city, a start date and a description of what they want. Once you accept, you get their name, phone, email and the project details.
