FAQ
What stays on the job.
What happens after a job is awarded?
All bidders are notified by email about the decision. The awarded company knows they won, and everyone else knows the job is decided.
The job stays in one workspace on KNTRCTR: scope and attachments, bids, and the job discussion thread.
After award, Job Kickoff is a dedicated space for start-of-work handoff.
The job moves through clear stages (for example awarded, in progress, completed).
When the work wraps, peer reviews and performance history stay tied to that job and that company, so your next award isn't based on memory alone.
No more relying on scattered updates when you award the next sewer, grading, or utilities contract.
What is Job Kickoff?
After a job is awarded, Job Kickoff is a shared space for the lead contractor and the awarded sub to get aligned before and during start of work.
Both sides can share important documents, work through a mutual checklist, and leave notes—so insurance, contracts, site contacts, safety items, and handoff details sit in one place on the job record instead of scattered across inboxes and folders.
It works alongside the job's Discussion tab: kickoff for structured handoff and files, discussion for ongoing conversation—both tied to the same job.
Can I communicate with other users inside the app?
Yes — KNTRCTR has built-in messaging for each job so you can discuss details, ask questions, or share files directly.
Can I export a job for my records?
Yes. Job posters (your company’s management team on that job) can download an archive from the job page for filing or offline reference.
Open the job from your dashboard. Near the bottom of the job page, next to Delete Job, use Export Excel or Export PDF.
Export Excel downloads a single `.xlsx` spreadsheet with worksheet tabs that match the job page—Details, Discussion, Viewers, Bids, Kickoff, and Performance—so you can open it in Excel or Google Sheets and flip through each section.
The Performance worksheet includes that job’s completed peer reviews and manual bidder reviews.
Export PDF downloads a printable PDF with the same sections laid out for paper or a shared drive.
Attachment files themselves are listed in the export (names and links); the download is the job record, not a zip of every uploaded file.
Keep the messy quotes. Keep the conversation.
The comparison only works if the off-platform bid sits with the rest.
