Prodistrict puts your permit project in front of a real pool of licensed, verified architects and engineers across Canada. They compete on price, timeline, and track record — you choose on merit, see reviews and insurance status before you commit, and as an owner, it never costs you a cent.
Three ways to reach the right professional, always on the same footing: no fee to post, no fee to propose or bid, and never a fee charged to you as the owner.
Describe the project once — every qualified professional in our network can respond with their own price and timeline, so you're comparing real options, not settling for whoever you happened to find first.
Already know who you want? Send it to them privately. Have a shortlist? Invite them to a sealed-bid comparison instead.
The professional pays a fixed platform fee only once awarded — never a percentage, never charged to you. That's what reveals your contact details and theirs, to each other.
Where a provincial regulator publishes a searchable directory, we check it automatically at signup. Where it doesn't — or where it's protected against automated lookups — a person on our team checks it by hand before anyone is marked verified. Either way, "Verified" means someone actually looked, not just that a form was filled in.
That check confirms a licence number against the regulator's directory — the specialties and project categories a professional lists are their own description, not independently verified. We check the firm's own authorization to practise too, separately from the individual's licence — most provinces require both.
Residential additions, commercial fit-outs, industrial builds — every category comes with its own intake checklist, so a professional sees exactly what a project needs before they respond, and an owner never has to guess what to describe.
For professionals: one fixed fee when you're awarded, never a percentage of the job and never a bidding war on our cut — you compete on your own price and your own work, not on how much of it we take.
Identity stays private until a deal is actually paid for — what you see up front is the record: rating, jobs completed, and standing. "Verified" means a licence/registration number matched the regulator's public directory as of the last check — not an ongoing guarantee of current standing.
From a backyard deck to a modern custom house, the same verification, the same fee structure, and the same fee-unlocks-contact reveal — no separate track for bigger projects.
