How are users verified on the Molphoro platform?

+

All users on Molphoro go through a verification process to make sure the platform stays safe, trustworthy, and professional for everyone.

Since Molphoro is designed for B2B use, every user must provide company information during registration. This includes basic details like the company name, registration number, and contact info.

Without valid company information, users cannot register or use the platform. This helps ensure that only real companies and professionals are active on Molphoro.

Each new account is carefully checked by the Molphoro team to confirm that all details are correct. This way, you know you're working with verified businesses—whether you're hiring a team or looking for new projects.

How can I use Molphoro as a client with a project?

+

If you have a construction or industrial project, using Molphoro is easy. As a client, you can publish your project on the platform by filling in the details—what work needs to be done, what kind of professionals you're looking for, and your timeline.

While publishing, you can choose how you want to work with contractors:

  • Fixed Deal – If you already know your budget and don't want to negotiate, you can set a fixed price for the project. Contractors can then accept your offer if it suits them.
  • Open Deal – If you are open to discussion, you can allow contractors to send you offers and negotiate the terms. This gives you more flexibility in choosing the best team for the job.

Once your project is live, verified contractors who meet your needs can contact you or apply to take on the work. You can compare their profiles, experience, and prices, and then decide who to hire.

Molphoro makes it simple to find the right professionals and manage your project—all in one place.

Can I find the team without publishing my own project?

+

Yes, you can! If you don't have a project to publish right now—or if you prefer to search for a team yourself—you can use the "Available Teams" section on Molphoro.

In this section, you'll find verified teams of contractors who are ready to work. Each team has a profile where they can share:

  • Their experience
  • The types of work they do
  • When they are available
  • And their preferred working conditions

Some teams use Open Deals, which means they are open to clients' price offers. As a client, you can propose your own price and terms. Clients also can book the team directly—without negotiation.

This gives you more control and flexibility when planning your project, even if you haven't posted it yet.

Can I as a client check the quality of the contractor's work?

+

Yes, you can request references from contractors when posting your project to ensure that the quality of work will meet your requirements.

This helps to save time and avoid unnecessary applications.

Can I as a client work directly with contractors?

+

That's exactly how Molphoro is designed to work.

Once the project is published, you can interact with contractors directly, discussing all details and finalizing the terms of work.

There are no middlemen or agencies involved. The client contacts the contractors directly, and contractors can reach out to clients as well. This makes communication faster, easier, and more transparent for both sides.

How can contractors get projects on Molphoro?

+

Contractors can find and get new projects on Molphoro in a few easy ways:

  • Browse Posted Projects
    Go to the platform and look through the list of available projects. You can filter by location, type of work, payment terms, and more. If you see a project that matches your skills, you can apply directly.
  • Use Open Deals
    If the project is posted as an Open Deal, you can send your offer to the client and suggest your own terms and price. Here's the catch: all participants can see the offers made by other contractors. This means you can see your competitors' pricing and adjust your offer to make it more favorable to the client, giving you a chance to win the project.
  • Get Found by Clients
    You can create a profile in the "Available Teams" section. Here, you can show your experience, list the types of work you do, and say when you're available. Clients can find your team and contact you—even if they haven't published a project yet.
  • Direct Communication
    Once you're connected with a client, you can chat directly, ask questions, agree on details, and finalize the job without any middleman.
  • Work the Way You Prefer
    You can accept Fixed Deals (with a set price) or Open Deals, and choose jobs that pay by the hour, by the meter, or by Bill of Quantities (BQ)—whatever suits your team best.

What is Open Deal?

+

Open Deal on the Molphoro platform is a feature that allows clients to be open to offers from contractors. When a client publishes a project, contractors can submit their pricing and terms. These offers are visible to all parties involved in the project, creating transparency throughout the process.

This gives both clients and contractors the chance to negotiate and find the best terms. Here's how it works:

  • For the Client: The client can compare offers from different contractors and choose the one that offers the most favorable price and terms.
  • For the Contractor: The contractor can see what other contractors are offering and adjust their pricing or terms to stand out and attract the client's attention. This means contractors can negotiate and improve their offers to increase their chances of getting the project.

Open Deal means negotiation. Both parties are free to propose terms and adjust offers to reach an agreement.

Contractors can see offers from their competitors, which allows them to make the most favorable offers to win the project.

Clients can also make price offers to contractors. If you're a contractor who publishes your team's availability, clients can approach you with their offers, and you can choose the one that works best for you.

The most innovative feature of Molphoro is that it offers the possibility of open auctions. In an open auction, all bidders can see the offers of their competitors. This allows:

  • Contractors to analyze the market and adjust their bids accordingly.
  • Clients to quickly compare and choose the most suitable offer for their project.

This system simplifies negotiation, increases flexibility, and helps both parties find the best conditions for completing the project faster and more efficiently.

What should I do if I don't want to bargain with contractors?

+

If you do not want to bargain with contractors, select Fixed Deal when you publish your project. In this deal, contractors or clients who agree with your requirements and conditions will contact you without the need for additional negotiations. This saves time and avoids unnecessary discussions, giving you a more direct and faster process for selecting a contractor or finding a client.

Can I submit a new bid for the same project?

+

Yes, you can!

If you've already made a bid for a project but later decide you want to change it—maybe because other contractors are offering better terms or prices—you can submit a new bid. This gives you the chance to adjust your offer and stay competitive.

Can I use one account to publish projects as well as advertise my teams?

+

Yes, you can!

With your Molphoro account, you can do both:

  • You can act as a client and a contractor from the same account—no need to create separate profiles.
  • Molphoro allows clients to find both a team for their own projects and new clients for their services.

This is possible because Molphoro users include a wide range of professionals from the construction industry—from large general contractors to self-employed specialists.

A contractor on Molphoro can not only find clients with projects, but also partner with self-employed workers to build the right team for the job. This makes it easier to take on larger or more specialized projects by connecting with the right professionals.

It's a flexible system designed to help you grow and manage your construction business—all in one place.
