BUILT.

FAQS

Questions, answered.

Everything developers and professionals ask us most — how BUILT. works, what it costs, and how we verify the people on the network.

Getting started

The basics of joining BUILT. as a developer or a professional.

Do I need to be a developer to use BUILT.?

No. Developers post projects and assemble teams; professionals create profiles, showcase their work and apply to projects. Both sides meet on the same network under the BUILT. Standard.

How do I sign up?

Choose 'Find Professionals' if you're a developer or 'Find Projects' if you're a professional, then create your account. You'll be guided through a short onboarding and a quick tutorial of your dashboard.

What does it cost?

Browsing the network and creating a profile is free while we're in beta. Posting projects and assembling teams is part of the developer experience on BUILT.

For developers

Posting projects and assembling a delivery team.

Can I keep my project private?

Yes. You can post a project privately and invite specific professionals, or open it to applications from the wider network — your choice.

How long does it take to find professionals?

Once your brief is live you can search and shortlist immediately. Most developers start meaningful conversations within the first few days.

How do I manage my team?

Your project's Team view shows every role, who's filled it and who's still outstanding, with direct messaging to each professional.

For professionals

Profiles, portfolios, applications and reviews.

What makes a strong profile?

A complete profile with your title, location, specialisation, bio, verified credentials and a portfolio of completed work. Profiles with portfolios receive noticeably more invitations.

How do applications work?

Open a project, read the brief, choose the role that fits your discipline and submit an application. The developer sees your profile and portfolio alongside it.

Where do reviews come from?

Reviews come from developers and teammates you've actually delivered a project with through BUILT. — not anonymous reviewers. They feed your standard rating.

Verification & the Standard

How we check who's on the network.

Is the BUILT. Standard the same as being registered?

No. Registration is one pillar. The Standard also weighs experience, the work itself, references and an up-to-date profile — registration is the floor, not the ceiling.

How do you verify registrations?

Statutory registrations such as ECSA, SACAP and NHBRC are checked against the issuing body. A professional is only marked verified once that check clears.

What does the 'Verified' badge mean?

Identity, company and experience checks have passed. Trust is then built through the evidence on the profile — work, credentials, references and availability.
